You could set auto-notifications so you know when they get stock, but a 1060 6GB would be its equivalent if you can't wait

This looks so cool

You know the 1080Ti is right around the corner right.....I guess not

That job was last year, I moved to Canada and work 2 jobs now, both part-time, and I still wouldn't mind finding another job. The jobs I do now (Tutoring and Custodian/Service) don't have the prestige or technical aspect of what I used to do but I still enjoy them somehow, knowing I'm making an effort to make something perform better is what makes me want to work more. It could just be me though, I like work of any form I guess

Its the nature of America's corporate culture, they need to turn profits within an unreasonably short time frame (monthly, quarterly, etc.). It may work for some business models for a while but eventually you will hit a wall where people won't be efficient enough to make the money within 40hr/week. Then investors might start looking at running shifts to stay open 24/7, then automation, then what? The profit chasing buck has to stop somewhere. Its a model that won't work if you are planning to build a sustainable brand like say Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto, great products like that don't happen overnight, they take years of careful planning and execution. Naughty Dogs is a studio I don't care about, their products don't appeal to me because they seem rushed with little thought for details, similar to yearly EA releases. Anyways, her fault for not understanding the studio she worked for all this time.

I hopped off the Samsung train at the S4, never looked back.

This right here, when your project depends on the financial backing of shareholders, some of whom may not entirely understand the complexities and hiccups that occur in game dev, you end up with strict deadlines. Penalty for failure might be losing some shareholders so its either you shut up and put up, or pack up and go independent/casual.

If you don't love what you do for a living it will seem like a chore, which is what I'm getting from her whining about 80 hour work weeks. I worked seven days a week as a System Administrator for a company for 3 years (even worked on most holidays, several overnight implementations etc.) and I never complained because I loved doing it so much. Again, if you don't love what you do, find something else to occupy your time.

Definitely, my desk surface is glass so my lazer mouse wouldn't work. I had to be using books and other objects. That being said I got a very large mouse pad (wider than my 23' monitor) so now the mouse can be practically anywhere on my desk without the bother of having to move a tiny mouse pad.

The CoolerMaster MasterCase 3 is the only MATX case with decent airflow potential that supports dual 140mm intakes, since you already have those fans you won't need to worry about throwing them out or buying new ones.

Not impossible, but impractical. It is soldered to the graphics card so replacing/upgrading it would require specialized equipment, a steady hand and skill. It would just be easier to purchase a new graphics cards.

Seeing as I just ordered my case today........I guess my next upgrade would be an IPS FreeSync Ultrawide Monitor

Ahh, Latvia, try if pcpartpicker.com could point you in the right direction, hopefully someone in the forum from Latvia could help more than I am right now.

Amazon is your friend

Well make sure it's in working order by turning it on, loading applications and even stress test each individual component before buying.
