  1. Battery life? Probably not great but should get you through a day with light to medium usage.  Keep in mind this is a 2 year old phone so don't expect crazy performance or for it to last you a super long time.  Also if you can get it for under 100 dollars that would be great, but no more than 150.

  2. Attention all bronies of LTT!!!  Here is a thread to discuss all things My Little Pony and related.  Have fun!!!

     

    This is also a good place to post fan fiction and art, as well as discussing your favorite pony!!!

    So I'm really in no hurry to replace my 980Ti (Corsair Hydro GFX) for a 1080 any time soon. I've barely had the thing for 6 months and it's been an overkill beast of a card for all my current needs.

    But if a GTX 1080Ti were to come out sometime down the road or even next year, I might want to upgrade if I can also upgrade my monitor to something that will better be able to use all that power.

     

    So would I find buyers for my water cooled 980Ti? Even if I put it up for a rock bottom price and gave info on the overclocks I've gotten out of it?

    Uh huh

  4. I one saw a video called 1 man 1 bag.  Basically a guy collects poop from portapotties and puts it in a bag.  You can look up the rest.  Anyway I think that a video combining poop with computers would be funny.

    If you do go the optiplex route, get the MT version so you can get a full sized GPU and replace the power supply.  Or you can go for the 6 pinless GTX 950.

    I know some would shun me for even recommending such a thing, because the airflow in these aren't the best.  But if you keep it maintained/dust free, it can be a cheap way to get your friend into gaming.  I gamed on an HP Compaq (sff) for a while with a sandy bridge i3 and gtx 750 ti, and it was a lot better than my core 2 quad.

     

    Otherwise, keep hunting.  Used but useful sandy/ivy bridge systems are out there.

    Is the gtx 750 ti fanless?

    Your mileage will vary with the C2Q, even the 45nm ones.  Less CPU intensive games will run fine, but for GTA V and Just Cause 3, you may have to really compensate to get it running smoothly.  

    $200 isn't that bad for that system though, the GPU alone is probably worth $120.  If it has a decent PSU and case, you could always salvage it for a newer setup.  I'd say take a shot on it if your willing to upgrade in a couple of years, or if you have a means to sell some parts later.

     

    Personally though, another $100 could go a long way.  You should really have sandy bridge at minimum for gaming.  i5 2400's go for pretty cheap, or you could look at upgrading an used dell optiplex.  Either that or build a new skylake system with a g4400 and plan on upgrading that later.  Then pair whatever you get with a gtx 670/760/7870 (best $100 options).

    Ok.  Yea I was worried about the cpu.  I'll see what I can get for 300.

    For $200 that is a great deal, really depends on the Core 2 Quad and if it is a 65nm or 45nm model. You would also be looking at the motherboard in terms of possibly overclocking or upgrades. For GTA V you would be quite surprised how well it can run even on a Q6600 (oldest/slowest Core 2 Quad). I paired one with a GTX 650ti and going to with a GTX 760 later this year when I have the time again. Personally I think that system will be more than fine but more details on it such as exact parts would be nice, I have been using and messing around with the LGA 775 platform for a while and personally can not agree with the best answer you chose so hopefully you can reconsider that purchase and let me know what other information you might want regarding what you might be looking at. :)  

    I'm just buying an old dell optiplex off of ebay, and adding a 500 gb hhd, 8gb ram, and a gtx 760.
