    It's been a while since I've updated this and I kinda feel bad by not doing so. With this I'll update anything that's happened over the past few weeks. It's been a bit eventful but it seems that what has been happening is kinda changing how I've been seeing my life now.
    First, tech...
    As you may of known, I already aquired my GTX 780 Classified and you all know I'm absolutely loving it. Even with the new card I still have my old GT60 for VGA support to my side monitor. Reason behind this is that the 610 with VGA beats my 780 with HDMI in color quality and compatibility. Strange how older tech can still be used, huh? Now I've been able to play more games than before and really has been a nice thing for me. Completed Crysis 2 and going full on in Hawken really gives me fun now. However, there are still changes to be done. My main goal now with my rig is to expand on storage and memory. Currently running 8GB single channel has shown that a few of my programs might benefit from at least twice (16GB). Now with the greater access to my anime shows (thanks @TopWargamer!) it seems my old WD Blue 500GB will have to be used, even at it's questionable state. My main drive is also filling up and it seems I'll have to expand.
    Second, life...
    Now life has been a bit questionable over the past weeks. Friends leaving, family seeming to go against you, and my life itself have been a strange thing. As some may know, I've been going to the hospital and my actual state is questionable, I have suspicion and probable proof of something wrong. I already stole the data from the hospital on a CD given to my mother over the weekend. Is there something wrong? I
    wouldn't know... Another thing is that I seem to have gain the trust of more and more of my friends, which is nice. But some seem to be fading out of their own shells. It's sad to see and now I'm trying to keep them in line and remember that it's all good for now. Same has been done over the weekend and really it does show me how I gotta be more social. I've only become this openly social this year which has become nice. This week was just bowling with a few friends and now next week it's sushi with this chick. It's strange how times change...
    Is life good now? Maybe... I am already seeing people again and having a bit of more fun in life which is seemingly nice. But the question is... How long will it last? Or better yet, how long will I last to see it?

    There is a quote that I live by that sometimes ca seriously save you in some tough situations:
    "Sometimes, we must make necessary evils to come to an ultimate good."
    It means that we must sadly make decisions that we don't wanna take sometimes that will actually benefit us in the future. Some countries, as you can see, kinda live by this in some cases. But not how I follow by it.
    What do you see in the quote? Do you have anything that you live by?

    So it's been a while since I last updated the blog and over the course of a week many things have occurred. For one I now know I have indefinently lost my father to the control of my step mother and her tricks. Now he is just completely blind.
    On the plus side, it seems I have received an extra 100 USD, which comes to total of approx. 450USD.

    The GPU Feud

    By Bluejay0,

    Is it so much of a problem for people when trying to buy computer parts? My last purchase for a part was approximately a year ago and it's already been good. However, now that I'm nearly complete with my build, only one parts remains: THE GPU
    This thing that I have (GT 610) has been the worst thing I ever thought was a good idea. Now here's when the real problem sets in...
    Windforce R9 290 for approximately $417 or EVGA 780 Classified for around $550 or $570

    Now looking at both cards, My mind is set on the 780 since EVGA and that build quality on the premium cards. I can't just let it go!
    Then we have the 290 with the lower price and Higher Memory/Bus. It really I a trade off. The 4GB won't entirely come in handy but I have a 1080p and a 900p which is fine for a 3GB. The classified's OC power, potential, and stability really is a great thing. I do love it and the design truly complements my build entirely.
    Now put in my shoes, what would all of you do? Have you had a situation like this? If so, how?

    It's sad to say I won't be able to go to California to visit a friend for her birthday. Looks like I'll only b 60 dollars short for her gift, which I won't be able to give personally...
    On the other side, I'll be back on the market for a GPU. I do kinda feel bad now that I won't be able to use the money to go see her.
    It's really kinda of a struggle when you have money and don't know what to spend it on since you at are a crossroads. Any one else who has had these situations before>
