Really f-in interested in this, but I'm an absolute Halo noob (I mean I've read a fair amount of lore but as for games I've only ever played Reach)

Nexus 6
 
Pros:
Always the newest version of Android (currently 7.0) Big, vibrant screen and front firing speakers make media consumption a joy Easy flashing of ROMs through ADB (looking at you Samsung) Did I mention that it's stock Android? ^^ Easy one/two days of battery life for me Fast charge   
Cons:
Though I love the big screen, I almost find it too big for everyday use and I totally get people saying that "It's just too big" No expandable storage (Though I'm fine with 32GB personally, it'd be nice to have that expandability) Slippery in the hand, due to the polycarbonate back and its rounded shape Definitely always need two hands to really use it  The back shows smudges extremely easily Huge in the pocket  
I really love this phone, but I'll either be looking at the next Nexus (maybe even 5") or Galaxy phone when the time comes to replace it. 6" is really nice for YouTube, Netflix and stuff but by now I'd actually rather have something that isn't so huge when I'm not just sitting at home consuming media.

Really curious if this works, don't the older models have like, dedicated PCBs just for the lighting?

I don't have a XB1, but i dream about a MCC on PC

Here is the Discord Link if you wish to play when the Game release on September 8th!

Well this here has always worked out well for me

Enroll your device to beta program and you will get it within 5 seconds 

Ah I see, downloading right now ^^ Thanks fam!

No worries! 

Should we start rolling up tin foil hats? lol i kid. 

You have a lot of superfluous words in the post and title
 
"NCSoft is garbage" would cover everything

Thanks for all your inputs everyone!
I think I'll still hunt around for that chair for a bit longer so I can make sure I get the right one.
Thanks to @BLoCkZ420's input I think I'll see how more affordable it would be to simply buy custom desk parts and put that together myself.

Literally bought my shelf, desk, chair, table-legs - basically my whole current setup at IKEA. I didn't go for a 'pre-built' desk (hehe pre-built, get it?) but rather for a combination consisting of a drawer unit (75cm high), adjustable legs to match the hight, and a simple black table top. I also bought a MARKUS chair which I'm really happy with and managed to not exceed 350€ (I think it was quite a bit less actually), the most expensive part being the chair.

But so far I've been to IKEA for most of my furniture and I'm confident that I will get my future stuff there as well ^^

Corsair kraken x61? 
You don't need that beefy cooler for the i5
Get a phanteks tc12dx
It will be enough and will match the white theme
That mobo is also kinda extra beefy get a z170a
Use the saved money to try to squeeze in a Samsung 500gb ssd

With the older lga 2011 you are probabbly looking at new prices, you can get two e5 2670s for $120USD, a board for $350USD, and 32gb ddr3 ecc for $80, so for pretty much half of the price of a 6900k/5960x for the cpu/ram/ and board you can get the same level of multithreaded performance as them.

Geez didn't look at the generation. That changes things significantly, unless you can get both processors and an dual socket mainboard for dirt cheap, it makes zero sense even for video/photo editing etc. A modern high core count processor like an 6900k will probably give the dual 2670's a run for there money in anything highly parallel, and be miles ahead in gaming due to much higher clock speeds.
 
The main problem with the dual socket boards, is even getting a nice modern 2011v3, only the low clock speed, high core count processors are in the "Affordable range". the Low core count, high clock speed Xeons are incredibly expensive, which makes making a dual purpose gaming/editing rig very hard. 
 
I went through the same process, deciding between a very high end i7 vs 2x cheap xeons and and dual socket board for a dual purpose gaming/editing rig. The only Xeons that fall in the same sort of price range half roughly 1/2 the clock speed, meaning even if you are doubling the core count, you are only getting about the same overall performance, and only if your programs scale perfectly across multiple threads. Anything that doesn't could be getting less then 50% the performance of a high end i7.
 
Although games will work fine on and dual socket and will use both processors fine, it makes very little economic sense when you can get much more performance for your money else where.
 
Also for reference, the only dual socket Xeons that I can find that would really work in a gaming/editing rig (ie not sacrificing clock speed) are the E5-2643 and E5-2667 with RRP's of $1500 and $2050 respectively (+~$600 for mainboard). Personally I'd rather take an 6900K-6950X and a couple Titan XP's  

Follow this chart/set of rules or whatever:
2x Cores without HT(hyper threading): HELL NO FOR GAMING as modern AAA dont run on dual cores
2x Cores with HT: ONLY IF UR BUDGET DICTATES IT. Modern AAAs will run but will stutter on higher settings.
4x Cores without HT: Sweet spot for bang for the buck
4x Cores with HT: Will see a performance boost in cpu bond games: GTA 5 Arma Minecraft
6x Core with HT: Good future proofing
8x cores with HT: Overkill
Anything higher: WAAAY OVERKILL
 
AMD cpus: WAIT FOR ZEN the older ones are shit nowadays(like really old)

Would it be badass? hell yeah. Would it be viable compared to say a skylake based system for gaming? Not really no.

Oh really? I still had that roadmap in mind that had Vega around 2017 ^^

Well they're citing improved power efficiency, so I'd hope it's more of a change than that.

Can't you set Hangouts as your standard texting app?
Atleast I can set Hangouts as my standard app in Hangouts' settings.
I recive both SMS and Hangout messages through the app.

i5 4690K, 8GB RAM and a GTX 960 here, don't have the exact settings but they are somewhere between High and Ultra I believe.

I would get a different video card. The 750ti is pretty outdated as far as a new card goes. You can get a 960 for like 150 bucks now and that would suite you much better.

Dubbed? You filthy peasant.
