    If you have the money lying around then this is a beast. Otherwise it is a bit overkill. Especially now that you can make a budget intel cheaper than you can make a budget AMD right now, atleast price wise in the U.S. That is because everyones selling out the AMD processors in the U.S. driving up AMD parts. 
     
    Depending on what you are doing and what kind of games you like to play. You won't need this much of a beast.

    you definitely do not want to go cheap on PSU. get anything that is 80 plug gold is good enough.. brands from Corsair, EVGA , Seasonic will be fine.. 
    personally I like Seasonic and Corsair as their modular cables are flat, easy to do cable management. I dislike cables that are sleeves. 1st hard to bend, 2nd add more weight and 3rd very hard to keep them in place and tons of cable ties needed. If able to get at least a 750 to 850watts..

    Thing is, the best clocking DIMMs are 8GB (tho 16gigabit IC's are a thing now so 16GB single ranked sticks exist) usually and the 16GB dual ranked ones usually clock quite a bit worse. Speaking as someone with 32GB, Nothing really comes near using that, and probably won't for a while, so 32GB is enough for gaming for another while, however 64GB wouldn't clock as good too, to it's a balance about how high the XMP or manual OC is and how much memory you need.

    Yeah I'm not actually going to buy that windows key for $170 lol. It's just in there to show which OS I'm going run. Thanks for the concern though.

    I'd go for the Corsair RMx 850W (which is currently $35 off at Best Buy). It's fully modular, 80+ gold, and in Tier A of the PSU tier list. 850W seems like the sweet spot for your config to me.

    There's also the Enermax Revolution DF and Corsair HX, though considering they're $20-40 more expensive according to PCPP, I don't feel like there's any point in going for either over the RMx.

    laushik reacted to TetraSky in Do you know the answer to this math problem?   
    Isn't A and B basically just the X and Y of the point where both formulas encounter each other? As in you have to compare them :
     
    A) Would be 9.45 seconds
    B) Would be 462 meters.
    C) Is essentially what I've written

    Am I missing something here? Even DESMOS gives me the same result when entering both formulas.

    Honestly I wouldn’t worry about it too much. As long as the voltage adjusts, and doesn’t go way too high. You can try turning up your LLC, but I wouldn’t go more than 1-2 below the highest for a daily OC

    1. Pump is running at 3000 RPM's + at load
    2. I used a pea sized amount of artic silver 5
    3. CPU-Z says 1.328v (constant no matter how much load)
    4. I'm using the default static pressure corsair fans that the AIO came with
    5. I have an NZXT S340. Radiator in the front blowing air with two 120mm exhaust. AKA the cpu is getting fresh ambient air, not air from the case.

    The Prime Z270-A is an okay motherboard for overclocking. I had a Maximus VIII Gene, and I got a decent overclock on my 6700K with it.
     
    Check out the ASUS Maximus VIII Hero if you want a good Z170/Z270 ATX motherboard for overclocking.

    Interested as to why you've chosen a Z270 chipset for a CPU designed with the Z170 chipset in mind. You could probably save a few bucks, will no real impact to OC performance, if you went with a high-end Z170 board instead.

    laushik reacted to Syntaxvgm in I need guidance on my social life.   
    After high school I ghosted almost everyone, some others the same to me. If you we're a "popular" kid, you'll probably only really stick with 1 or two friends from school. School friends are people that tolerate each other because they're stuck with each other.  Today I have very few friends I see often at all, a few I met in collage, but I think I'm better off for it. I do need to find a way of getting out more without drinking, I dont really like the bar scene. 

    Yes you need people to hang out with, but start small. Find someone at school next year to play games with. Dont even have to fucking like each other that much. Drag your game console to his house or the other way around, take turns taking care of food and waste time together. Sometimes what 2 or more socially introverted people need to 'hang out' is an excuse, even if it's wasting time in the same room on the same games. And there's no dead, awkward air playing games. You'll talk when you want to. I spent a lot of time when I was younger just like, playing halo and battlefield or whatever with random people. Most of whom I dont talk to anymore, but it's alright. Healthy relationships stay, ones where you just dont quite click fade away. Life and stuff.

    It gets better and easier. Don’t stop trying. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t let people walk over you because friendship should be a positive relationship both ways. I’ve done autistic shit that would probably horribly embarrass/ traumatise a normal person, but I don’t let it get to me and have become successful in relationships because of it. Just keep taking risks and small steps man.

    My guidance to you: You don't need social life.
     
    Okay, actual guidance. Video game is the issue. You need time away from your computer screen. Go out and get some exercise first. It has been proven spending time outdoors exercising greatly ease anxienty and builds good mood and attitude. This is because sunlight and outdoor are all mood regulator as well as all the hormones your body released during intense exercise. 
     
    You don't have to hang around people your age. I mean I never do. I look down on all my peers, especially the ones who are much more successful than me(in looks , intelligence, wealth, whatever). People say I have Napoleon complex but it is common psychology for dealing with insecurity. It safeguards against intimidation and loss of confidence. 
     
    You can hang around and learn from people older than you or take care of people younger than you. Both builds confidence. Your leadership skills rely on confidence so it is important have a confident attitude.

    Sorry to hear this, you yourself gave a good example what to do. Telling your parents is the best thing to do here. Ask them if they had this when they were in school and if they think it's a good idea to talk to a professional. If this is a bridge to far, talk to a professional at school. Not sure if they have it at your school, but in my opinion they should. Those people have a obligation to help you and if you want they cannot tell your parents. 
    Do you play videogames with any class mates? You could ask them online to meet them after school. Start with something small, for example it could be that someone has to go into the same direction as you when you are going home and you can ask them to walk/ride/take bus together. 
    Other then this it's hard to give more advise, things will get better when you're older. You have to believe that you can do it, that is the first step. After which things like this will get easier. 
     
    Good luck!

    laushik reacted to Dylanc1500 in What do you think of my youtube gaming channel?   
    That entirely depends on your target audience. You have to find a demographic that is looking for content that you enjoy producing and then cater to that audience. If it's a wide enough audience and you can keep them entertained you will continue to grow till you have plateued with your audience. When you hit that mark you will either stay at that viewership level or you take a chance at expanding your content out to a broader audience. With a possibility of picking up more views, you can also take a chance at loosing some of your "base" viewers.
     
    As @LAwLz said, it's a gamble and you have to do it because it's something you enjoy. If you produce something people like, you will grow but it's up to you and luck of the draw, as to how far that goes.
     
    That's just something to chew on though.

    I watched part of one of your COD WW2 walkthroughs and here is my feedback:
    Your intro is way too long and because the text movies so much it's incredibly hard to read. Your video was uninformative. It seems more like a "blind playthrough" than a walkthrough. You commentary wasn't really entertaining. Saying "oh my god", "that guy is dead", "this is so cool" over and over is boring. Your videos are almost exactly the same as the 10 billion other channels making gaming videos. You're even playing the same games as everyone else. COD, GTA and Battlefield. Despite what your channel description says, you're the perfect definition of "your average gaming channel".  
    I recommend experimenting with things. You will never get big if you're just doing what everyone else is doing. But I also think that you should just do whatever you think is fun. You should absolutely not expect to get big on Youtube. That's like expecting to win the lottery. It won't happen so if you're not happy making videos with the few views you get today, then you should stop making videos. Make videos because you think it's fun and the process is enough of a reward. Do not make videos because you think you will get bigger. Chances are you won't get more than ~300 subscribers even if you keep doing what you're doing right now for the next 24 months.
