  1. Look up how to set up a second user. You can use your Google account for your business for that second user and it'll have its own apps and contacts. Let me know if you need help.
  2. I've had the Pixel XL for over a month now. Its one of the best phones you can get right now. Its fast, has clean software, latest updates, amazing battery life, and the best smartphone camera out. If you like the rear power button then you'll really like the fingerprint reader on the back of the device although its not a button. Battery life has been about over 5 hours of on screen time on one charge and it has fast charging. I'm also blown away by how good the camera is. If you have any questions let me know! Edit: Also I've been rocking it without a case for well over a month and no problems. I think its just as fragile as any other smartphone.
  3. I currently have my X51 R2 with a GTX960 and its totally fine. The 1060 actually has slightly lower power consumption than the 960 so no worries there. I personally just bought the RX480 for mine that's on the way. Also make sure to get a blower style card because that's what the X51 is designed to be used with. If you have any questions let me know!
  4. The Xeon should be better for editing and gaming. I have one, and it freakin rocks. It performs just as well as a lot of i7s but much cheaper. The hyper-threading in the Xeon will definitely help with rendering.
  5. I don't think upgrading from an i5 to another i5 will help performance that much. I would recommend an i7-4790 or a Xeon E3-1231 v3. They both have hyper-threading, which boosts performance a ton.
  6. Lol, I have a Xeon E3-1231 v3 in my Alienware X51. Upgraded from an i3, going to an i5 wouldn't have been worth it and i7s (especially at the time) were too expensive. $250 for quad-core with hyperthreading Xeon was definitely an awesome choice!
  7. I think going with the i7-5820k (or even the new i7-6800k) would be better because of its price and its unlocked. I don't know how much room you have for overclocking but its better than no overclocking on the Xeon. The difference in performance is probably not noticable and i7s are still really reliable for workstations.
  8. That thing is sick! I can bring it to all kinds of parties or events to bring everyone together and play some games!
  9. No problem, if you have anymore questions about this phone or other Android devices in this range let me know!
  10. I'd recommend the newest Moto G, a $200 phone with a clean Android software experience, newest version 6.0.1 Marshmallow, octa-core Snapdragon 617 CPU, 2GB RAM, 1080p screen and a beefy 3000mAh battery. Only downside is that its a 5.5" display but I promise you its very nice to have a bigger screen on your phone (my Nexus 6 is 6" and its awesome!). https://amzn.com/B01DZJFSZ4 - Moto G (4th gen)
  11. I'll soon be upgrading from a reference GTX 960 2GB to the reference RX 480 8GB. The RX480 seems like it can max out graphics on most games at 1080p and is much more future proof with 4GB and 8GB options. Anyone else on-board, or do some of you think its not worth the upgrade?
  12. Thanks for the replies guys! It seems best place is Newegg though they are currently out of stock. Will be getting one soon!
  13. Is there one I can buy without the 3rd party company's logo on the fan? Its not that big of a deal I was just wondering.
  14. I was looking online and only found aftermarket sellers. Does anyone know where to actually buy a RX480 8GB AMD reference model?
  15. i7-4790k is the fastest of that socket and the Xeon E3-1231 v3 is probably the best performance for value.
