    Obviously you'd need an xfire or sli configuration. Just saying the 8gb of vram becomes more of a factor at that point.

    I bought a zotac 970 for $194.15, did I do good guys? I would have loved to have waited for the new gpu's, but like a ~35% discount seemed pretty good.

    You should leave him be. He's going to do what he's going to do regardless. Might as well not make him mad. He has to come the realization himself that he's wasting his time and stuff, however he may never come to that conclusion. Hanging out on the computer is fun. It's all about moderation. You just have to hope that some day he might be like 'damn I'm sick and tired of video games and online people' and try to become social again.

    That sucks man, they price matched for me. The fact of the matter is microcenter is on their approved price matching list (I've seen it) and I even had them price match a TV for me the other day.. even though the microcenter page was like 'order online, pick up in store' the frys manager was like yeah they're on the list so we'll do it. (even though most of the regular employees were telling me eh we probably wont price match (the tv), we only do processors cause of x y z). 
     
    I'm up in NorCal and the microcenter up here closed a few years ago so it's like they especially have no reason to price match.

    Pitythefool got a reaction from cynicaldriver in Ripping my Win. 10 Key to Install on SSD?   
    OEM key is attached to motherboard and even then I believe you actually can transfer them to a different computer with diff mobo, but it's just a bit annoying. I saw a guide like a week ago when I was looking into full retail vs oem etc, but I don't think I got around to reading the actual article.
     
    If you're just transferring your windows install from hard drive to hard drive there is no issue. Windows key is usually somewhere on the pc case, usually the bottom. If not there are ways to rip it.

    With xfire youll definitely be cutting the wattage close.. i think my build according to pc part picker would have used ~770 watts with 2 390s.

    That yellow color looks fantastic.
    The highlight feature of the build is obviously the stray wire :-p
    Aside from that looks like you did a great job.

    This is pretty sweet, the fact that you are fabricating the case is pretty impressive.

    Sure anytime. Might as well try to help since I spent the past couple weeks catching up on computer stuff and figuring out how to get the best deals. I am building a computer as well, I've already ordered all the parts.

    Pitythefool got a reaction from ComicV in 1.2k Budget USD   
    There are other ways to get the price down//stretch your budget.. if you have good credit you can get a card or two with cash back (chase freedom $150 back after 500 spent, $25 more if you add someone to your account). There are also sites that offer substantial $ off for your first purchase (cough jet dot com).
     
    I think your build looks pretty good otherwise.
