  1. I'd just use Avast! Free and use Windows firewall. You still got to be smart with what you download and browse though.
  2. What? The only reason it is "AMD optimised" is because they have earlier access to the source code. DICE isn't going to just let AMD users have all the fun. They're obviously still going to let NVIDIA into the source code before the release so they can work on their drivers. AMD has the chance to just improve performance and stability issues before the competition as they have much earlier access.
  3. You need to give us a budget, buddy. A bit hard to choose something for you without one
  4. I don't like it, lol. I don't want my computer case to have similarities to Lego. It has the functionality but at the cost of appearance. Rather have everything in one case. Looks more cleaner.
  5. Um, congrats. May it serve you and your family well.
  6. It's not easy to get money from people, bud. You're just asking for it with no real cause. Sorry, but only way you'll get money for your computer is to work harder and get the money yourself. Let alone that $800 is really steep. Good luck, though.
  7. Nah, no real bottlenecks. And the case is his own opinion, haha. If he likes it, he likes it. Who caresssssssssssssssss.
  8. Yeah, there'll be statistics but it isn't to an extent where it's difficult. It's annoying but it's not that bad (for me anyway). By the way, you should check out your college's website for information about the course to have a better idea. My university has like a outline of what I'll be doing which helps me out a little. (http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/2013/Majors/UGMajor/Computer+Engineering) That's my university but it's Australian though so things will definitely differ but should give you a nice idea of what to expect.
  9. Haha, how stupid. But I find it a little ignorant to call an emergency line just to charge your phone so you can tweet for longer or something.
  10. Why would you start a tournament then? That's silly. Then again, it's an unofficial one and they can do whatever they like. Nek minnit, bans on Thresh, Taric and Alistar. No primary supports left.
  11. Haha, why are you asking us about the aesthetics? That's subjective. It's your opinion. You can't go wrong with the Dark Rock though. Cools really well and it's quiet.
  12. So I would've been more correct saying "very expensive"? Didn't really wanna scare OP away from custom watercooling

    Bassy speakers

    Sorry, didn't include the fact that you're situated in the UK. How about the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1? Pretty old though.
  14. Save your money and upgrade your other components. Custom watercooling is quite expensive. But if you want to cool your GPU, then you'd probably have to go for it. Personally, I'd forget custom watercooling if your graphics has a non-reference cooler. The Tundra will be good enough for CPU overclocking.
  15. The Nexus 4 is already an amazing phone. If you can get it for cheaper, then go for it. Besides, I think a 5"+ screen on a phone is a little on the big side. Shit, just give the Nexus 10 the ability to call and put that in your pocket.
  16. Looks like a Ducky Shine II Tenkeyless with white keycaps.
  17. It's new? I believe that's how it works. Shit, I still remember when plasma TVs were like $5000+ for a 40" or something. They're like <$1000 now. They're not going to sell you new technology cheap. If you want it early, you have to pay the premium. Or you can wait because it'll obviously drop in time. They can't mass produce it as well as there's no real popularity of it right now. When they get the consumers, mass production of it will lower the costs. Let alone all the time and money given into research to make 4K screens. They need to make some money back for themselves. Let them have a vacation.

    Bassy speakers

    Should look into 2.1 system then if you head explosions. Having a dedicated subwoofer will bring you good bass. Then again, you'd have to have a nice place to put it and have nothing in the way. I know that the Corsair speakers have big bass. 8" sub I think.
  19. I can't see the picture or a link? Or is it just me?
  20. Yeah, that's true. They're obviously not very efficient 80+ efficiency is pretty much standard nowadays for a cheap power supply anyway. Well, I hope so.
  21. Had a generic 450W power supply when I bought my first custom pre-built computer. I think the brand was Widetech or something. Didn't know much about computers back then so yeah. I can't say anything bad about it because nothing went wrong. The system was weak so it didn't have troubles delivering power.
  22. They're going to include a cheap headset with a $500+ console? Mate, if you're gonna spend that much on a console, you might as well grab a pair of Turtle Beaches or something.
