Oh, me too. My first phone was a very old motorola flip phone, which I inherited by being the only person who understood it's UI. And the 'hello moto' ringtones. It was held together with stickytape, but lasted a good 5 years.

I have been using my father's old 4S for the last few years, but it has finally began to die. I have tried to hold on to this phone as I love its small screen, and have fixed many issues that it has had (battery died, battery died again, wireless died, screen broke). I have begun to feel like it is a losing battle, however, as this phone is too slow. I was planning on holding out for someone to release a high-end 3.5-4.5 inch phone (Z5 Compact woot), but have mostly given up on that ever happening now. Also, after trying a friend's 6S Plus, I feel that the smaller screen size wasn't so much an advantage as a difference, so I am no longer overly concerned about screen size (Although the 6-inch monster phones are still too big). As such, with a mostly flexible budget (preferably <800 AUD), what would you recommend for a new phone? Please bear in mind I do not plan to upgrade from this phone for the next 2 to 3-ish years, and the phones must be available off-contract in Australia. Some phones I have looked at are: LG G4 Moto X Play Z5 Compact Moto X Force Moto X Style Moto G Oneplus Two Which of these would you recommend for a phone that will last me for several years, without costing me too much? I am open to other suggestions.

In single threaded tasks, they will be very similar. Unless you had a reason to buy a quad core for him, it probably wouldn't make that much of a difference in day-to-day usage. Depending on what he does, it is possible to likely that rather than increasing RAM, a small SSD might improve the experience a lot more.

Have you got any issues at the moment that the BIOS update would fix? If not, don't bother.

It isn't really necessary, but if you are going to once every 2-3 minutes should be more than enough. If you do kill something just return it saying it was DOA

hehehe

Made sure it works? Can you do that without redeeming it?

It depends on what other options you have, but for a single card that 980ti is easily your best bet on the nvidia side. You might want to consider the Fury X, which has slightly better 4k performance, but no single card will push 60fps at 4k inAAA games.

Joke Also, that is Sandy bridge—E. I'm sure Skylake-E will cost more than the 6700k does too.

It costs more because it is newer, and intel can charge more for it. After all, 6 > 5.

I hope this works.

Wow, that looks much better without a window than I would have thought.

I'm not sure whether he answered my question or not, but as long as it doesn't affect the main storyline of the games it doesn't matter to me much. I downloaded the first game, and am about half way through.

In Australia, we have a similar problem. I am waiting for now. It is a shame, but the cheapest Z170 motherboard costs around $100 more than the cheapest Z97 did twelve months ago. And some things (such as NZXT's cases) have all gone up in price.

It is a scam which preys on insecure people to make money.

If you just use it around the house, don't bother. If it ever leaves the house, then yes.

It is a nice phone, but don't buy it through a carrier. Motonovo don't seem to care about updating carrier-locked phones.

No, they will make the battery 3x smaller. Who needs battery life when you could make it dysfunctionally slim?

He wasn't talking about that post. He was talking about this one, I think: Which is exactly what you suggested.

It *might*.

There is no way that that speed bump noticeably improved your boot time. The bottleneck is almost certainly in your storage setup.

Not every LGA775 processor is compatible with every LGA775 motherboard. The chipset defines a lot of what you can do with it.

EK has a waterblock for Intel's pci-e SSD, but I don't know about any others.

I modified your build slightly to fit the six cores he wanted. A little bit over budget and a much cheaper cooler, but: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/CrF2dC

That makes no sense. Eventually, you will need it. Possibly sooner, possibly later.
