Mr. Chairman

WAIT HOLD UP. WE DONT WANT LINUS'S PERSONAL PC. The case has a lot of meaning to him guys. It was a gift from his wife. I believe it was the first gift from her too.
EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! Hopefully Linus or someone from LMG will read this and this will make Linus keep his build. Even if the goal of 100k is made we should convince Linus to do another build maybe, with signatures from the whole LMG family and maybe even his wife. This would let Linus keep the build he has with the special case his wife gave him. Besides, his personal PC would be more special to him than us.

I would personally use malewarebytes.

Well congratulations guys. You made me curious, so I fired up steam, and whad'ya know, the walking dead is 75% off.
Now I have to buy it. Thanks a lot.
 
A man tries to save something extra, and it's just impossible these days with them steams and their sales and gaben and all...

Meet, no problem.
Get though...

Pretty box is supposed to distract you from shittyness of the product inside.
It is the sole purpose of it.

I need 8GB of RAM and an SSD. Let's not get into what I want...

+1 for the glue thing, I had the same thing happen to me once.
It was a fan LED with somehow exposed wires that smoked the glue a little, giving the entire room dentist office smell and some white smoke.
Scared the living shit out of me anyway.
 
I'd try taking that PSU apart and maybe running it open for a second, investigate closer.
And when it comes to warranty, I have a friend who won't dust their PC, cause there's warranty sticker on the case and he'd void it if it were to be open.
You gotta draw the line somewhere

should then be psu, the copper coils are warming up the glue that is there for xtra tightning it on the psu board.
if not the copper coil of the gpu, or even mainboard.
As long as the temperatures are normal, it shouldn´t be a problem.
oh and check if the psu air intakes are not blocked

You still need a computer to be a functioning member of XXI-century society, and don't even argue smartphones.
You try to do some real work on a smartphone (or tablet, I don't care) I dare you.
Point is, if you're getting mediocre gaming device and mediocre work device, why not just combine them?
You get the benefit of less space taken physically, and better performance on both without spending extra.
 
And PC gaming IS cheaper. C'mon, games are half the price of console versions even without things like Steam (whatever reason/season) Sale.
And when you throw Steam Sales, boy, they're almost free. PC Master Race is about making people curious why would they even want a PC.
They want one, they might not know it yet, but they sure as hell want one. It makes all the sense in the world to use PC instead of a console,
and when all the people on consoles realize that, they'll eventually switch. and it will be the day of the doom of the consoles, and we will cherish and praise our Lord and Savior GabeN.
 
And if you still don't know why do we do that "Lord and Savior" thing, it's so everyone who hears that gets interested in cult of that person and what they've done to get religion-level recognition.

What are the odds of just finding CPU's on the ground... I could barely find my socks and he finds CPU's...

Anyone defending a multi-billion industry is only mocking himself. They won't hear you, you won't get money for it. You'll only prove how gullible you are.
It's not what consoles do or don't do, it's what they represent. The exclusives, the online passes, the stagnation of graphics/complexity, the retarded "30fps is OK" topics when it's objectively not. All of these things mainly stem from the consoles, especially since lately.
 
Cognitive dissonance, all of this. #PCMasterrace is just satire, as Yathzee originally used it when he came up with it. It was never meant to be taken seriously, and when he made that video he actually was that "console peasant".
I wouldn't mind the existense of consoles if Sony and Microsoft weren't such giant dicks about it and tried to make more money than Duck mcscrooge. They just can't have it that developers don't create games for their platform, they hate competition. And they're currently actively trying to change the enviroment so that it suits them best.
 
In reality they threaten everything that is sacred to PC-gamers. This is just like the outrage you got from #gamergate, when the constant berating of being told they were mysoginists and bigots the whole damn time. This is PC gamers being sick of the pandering towards the utterly shit consolehardware, in whatever form or shape that is (resolution, framerate, complexity). They simply just want good games, that run well and have some interesting elements to them. That's all. But right now, with all these shit console ports, it's hard to let it slide man.
 
Stop making this an objective argument about what is "better", it never was about that. I wouldn't give two shits about xbone and lamestation if Sony and Microsoft did their thing in parallel to the PC. Hell, i might even buy one.
But right now I couldn't stomach shoving a dollar towards either of those companies. And neither should anyone at this point who gives even the slightest shit about gaming in general.

In what world is 30fps "fine"?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DkvKGX Here, I came at you. 352$, peripherals included (they aren't the best out there for sure, but they are still a good deal more precise than a controller), destroys an xbox one in everything performancewise. About that thing with far cry 4, maybe you didn't get the memo, but the core gate is being artificially forced. There's a video proving that the game runs just fine on two cores. If ubisoft can't make a decent release that's not a fault of pcs. And if you really must play that game, go buy an athlon 840k instead, that's a quad core for about the same price. I didn't even check if there was some black friday stuff in there because the xbox one's current price is holiday season only. It's a timed deal, after which both this pc and the xbone will go up in price. If you don't accept this argument, go ahead and use a 265 instead of a 270; it still outperforms an xbone significantly. Also bare in mind a lot of the complaints with the xbone were related to when it was 500$, it only just recently started to be released kinectless and at a cheaper price.
 
1) Yes, it's cheaper. The games are cheaper, there is no sub fee, the pc itself would be cheaper if we did a precise performance match. 60$ spared a year easily make up for the higher power draw. I find ridiculous that you propose an i5 for a "minimum" build, that's bs. The cpu on the xbone is much weaker than any i5. The gpu you chose is also a joke for this kind of build, it's significantly more expensive than its amd counterparts. Not ideal if you're on a very tight budget. If people buy games at release on pc it's their fault, and it's still 10 bucks cheaper than getting them at lauch on a console (and if you're going to argue people don't wait for pc and wait for console, please don't).
 
2) Then fine, a console is easier if you(generic)'re a retard. That's pretty much what you're saying; a 9-year-old could build a computer with a little guidance. If sparing a couple of hours and a small hassle is worth all the other downsides to you, then go ahead and buy a console, but arguing that consoles are superior because you (generic you) can't build a pc is weak at best.
 
3) I'll give you that, and frankly I never really felt like generalizing a full community was a valid point anyway.
 
4) For one, to play online there's the usual sub fee. And a lot of games support split screen on pc atm, either officially of with an easy mod. Here's a list: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_Local_Multiplayer_Games
That said, split screen mp is actually one of the few actual pros I can find abut consoles. So while the above certainly mitigates it, if you're really big into split screen then a console is pretty much the way to go.
 
5) Half-ass games aren't really a sensible metre to use when measuring the optimization of games for a platform or another... and honestly ACU didn't run any better on consoles... extra optimization in an iffy point, mainly because x86 is a platform devs know perfectly. While there certainly is some specific optimization that can be done, chances are it won't be game changing and devs sometimes just don't seem like they even care (such as ubi) to optimize stuff properly, let alone for very specific hardware.
when people use that argument they refer to two things: retro (and forward) - compatibility and the possibility to upgrade single parts of your pc (perhaps using some of that sub fee money you spared). The first is pretty simple; almost all pc games ever made can be played on a modern pc in a way or another, and in fact even some older console exclusives can be played through emulators. After that, when a console generation passes it usually stops getting any games at all (the 7th generation is a bit of an exception, but the 8th generation isn't even close to being powerful enough to last for as long) whereas a pc has a chance of playing some new games if they aren't too demanding (bf4 is playable on a radeon hd5450, which goes to show how potentially long a decent gpu's usefulness can last if you are content with games running (as they would in a console) and aren't that interested in ultra settings. Of course nobody forces you to upgrade your console and you may very well be content with 3-4 games (although at that point maybe buying a full system for 3-4 games was a bit of a waste), and that's why I usually don't use this argument when discussing consoles.
 
I think you're falling victim of the generalization trap as do some pcmr "partisans". MY gripes with current consoles regard two things: I find MS and Sony aren't offering what they could and I feel should have, especially with the sub fee which is, in my opinion, one of their major "sins" in this regard (even if at a generational switch you don't upgrade and are content with your current games, you still have to pay the fee if you want full functionality of a device you already paid for); and secondly I am frustrated that pc games get held back for the sake of having them run on straight up poor hardware.
I don't argue that consoles are bad for the fun of it. I have precise complaints about them. And if anyone asks me advice on what to buy, I have no doubt in suggesting they build a pc, especially if I know them personally and can even help them troubleshoot the now machine if anything goes wrong. I also find the Wii U to be a better package than either of its competitors, as it's significantly cheaper (if we're accepting a graphical downgrade, at this point t doesn't really matter if we downgrade a bit more as long as games run, right? And honeslty the Wii U is proucing higher resolutions and framerates in a lot of games thanks to their art style) and offers a really compeling library of games that are designed to be played in split screen on the couch and only give their best in such a situation, unlike the other two which just try to be pcs and fail miserably (imo).
 
That said, rules can allow exceptions. I can't account for every possible scenario, and there are certainly some in which a console really is better; but unless it's one of said specific scenarios, as a general rule I personally wouldn't advise ever getting a ps4 or xbone. If your opinion is different, fine, it's your money after all, but just openly engaging people on the other side of the fence without being provoked isn't really the way to go about it...
 
Disclaimer: no offence is intended with the above, if anything I wrote offends you I apologize.

I dont really argue that consoles are better and more convenient for lower end graphics and price, and dont require much maintenance.
My thing as always been if you want a more powerful, better graphical experience,
with a lot more than just gaming and video watching to offer, then PC is the way to go.
Something you have to remember is PC isnt just about the games, they have loads of other features for school, or work, or just general hobbies. 
E.G. Photoshop, Office applications, Video editors (to a much larger degree), Programming, Multiple OS Options, and the ability to personalize far beyond that of a console.
Consoles are great for people who want the basics, PC's are for people who expect more from their experience.
For the people who want the ability to upgrade at their convenience.
For the best of the best with as little compromises as possible, you want a PC.
 
Just my opinion
 
Edit: I forgot to add Steam is a big factor.

Not $350 but $400-500. Don't these discounts that have been dropped on them, they were $400-500 on release. I will show you a build soon.
 
 
PC gaming is cheaper is one of the most short-sighted statements ever. It's cheaper, IN THE LONG RUN! I still love how you say "bought in a sale". This is not relevant as the same could be done for the pc games AND components, do not count discounts. Say we keep both the PC and the console for 8 years (Time between xbox 360 and xbone). Normal price for XboxLive gold is about 40-45 a year I believe? Let's be generous and say 30. That's 450 for the console plus 8*30=240 just to play multiplayer = 690, You have not even bought a single game yet. Xbox games (the good ones anyway) are $50-60 but mostly 60. Now over the course of those 8 years you buy 12 of these $60 games (not at all an unreasonable guess). That's 690 + 720 = $1410. Now lets buy those same 60$ games on the PC, only here you can EASILY get them for 35, brand new like day of release. That's 12*35 = 420, leaving $990 for a PC just to equalize the costs. Well you know as well as I do that you can make a PC that can handle all of that for less than $990, making the PC a lot cheaper in the long run. "Also, people still buy games on release for PC at the full $60." Hell no, just no. Look at G2a, G2Play, Steam sales (50-90% lolz).
 
 
FC4 can't accommodate Dual cores true but that's not because dual cores lack in power, it's because FC4 is buggered and extremely poorly built. FC4 is an exception and should not be used as an example. BF4 can use 8 threads yet it can run fine on a G3258.
 
It's not hard at all indeed, a 5-year-old can build it (literally). Ease is not the issue here, it's functionality so I disagree with this argument in its entirety.
 
 
Experience has implied that the amount of immature infantile beings are more numerous on console than pc BECAUSE the console is more accessible. PC has its rotten eggs too but consoles have them more, way more (experienced first hand)
 
 
It's 50x easier to not play on 4-player splitscreen for one. Also no need to travel to the same house but something can be said for both so this argument can be dropped.
 
 
"And you have to upgrade a PC with the new consoles to match the new demands these new games might have". 100% not true. You can tone the dials down or upgrade JUST the GPU since the CPU is rarely the bottleneck. Resulting in an extremely cheap and efficient upgrade. Making the base cost of building a PC lower and therefore increasing the lower cost of PC's overtime. Also we can be content with lower fps whereas it's simply not released on your older console.
 
 
THis is why PCMR exists (partially as a joke). There is just so much that is superior.
 
 
You are taking PCMR way too seriously . The term is a joke but there will always be fanboys. This is not disrespect, this is just fanboy war.
 
 
I think I have implied by now that this statement is very wrong and just as ignorant and short-sighted as you make the PCMR out to be.
 
TL;DR
 
The term and implication of PCMR is mostly a harmless joke. The ones that take this and just hate and wail on console players are fanboys. The difference is we have a name (PCMR) and they don't which makes it seem worse.

Didn't push RAM stick hard enough into slots when I was switching cases. Had no boot for 20 minutes. Had a heart attack, cause it was almost new PC worth 'bout 1000$

Porn is always the first industry to adopt new technology.....

Windows One. Because everything nowadays is called something with One. 

Ah...mine came from L4D, if anyone remembers...The Midnight Riders 

Indeed, cuz you know "hey bro, we can't rob that convenience store and rape the girl at the counter cuz its illegal" conversations happen.
 
In the US we have the same sort of laws about age, but it varies from state to state. if an 18 year old has sex with a 17 year old he's going to jail though.

Fallout 3 - Probably my favorite RPG. Also modding is a thing with this game.
Fallout NV - Nearly as good, but lacking the "post-apocalyptic" feel. Also Modding.
Skyrim - I don't need to provide a description as to why I chose this game.
Metro 2033 + Last Light. - It's just non-linear enough to have a different experience when re-playing the game.
