  2. The ASRock Extreme 9 did commit the deadly sin of emplying a small fan on the chipset, that's not good albeit perhaps a small flaw if it is reliable. As for the Z97 Deluxe from ASUS, it's more expensive than the Z97-WS at my retailer and there's no way I'd choose it over the WS, I actually like the way the WS looks to be honest I just think it would have been nice if they put the headphone amplification stuff from the lower end/ROG boards on it. The 2 cheaper ROG boards the Ranger and the Hero are currently top seller position 1 and 2 at my retailer, however I'd much rather buy the Z97-A which is not only cheaper but a much better deal I feel. I'm not really a ROG fan or a ROG hater, I will never own a ROG motherboard because I don't care about most of the features on them and I also don't really like red/black colour schemes. I think that the Z97-A is the best choice for a gamer's board for Z97 chipset, if I were buying Z97 today that would be my board of choice as it has just the features I need and nothing more. Dat X99 Deluxe though, that is sexy lookin', that and the MSI X99 SLI PLUS in all black.
  3. Absolutely yes, but not as much as they have improved the experience of typing.
  4. The I Deluxe is pure witchcraft, all those features crammed on and solid VRM on a daugher board. The Asmedia USB 3.0 controller isn't very good on my board either, on W7 for instance I cannot use my USB microphone in one of the ports it just constantly connect/disconnect loops, if I use one of the Intel ones it's fine. It's fine for my USB 3.0 flash keys and a lot of other USB 2.0 devices but will have funny disconnect/reconnect errors from time to time. I have the wifi GO module in the box, I never used it because my router is about 5ft from the PC and I use ethernet. I see that on Z97 ASUS are killing it with the Z97-A and Z97-K boards selling extremely well and looking well featured for the money. In terms of the premium boards, between Gigabyte, MSI and ASUS who do you think uses the best power circuitry components? MSI do market theirs heavily and so do Gigabyte with the 'Military Class' and 'Ultra Durable' terms, but ASUS don't seem to really bother doing that and still outsell everyone.
  5. Interesting information, I feel like my board was a good choice now, I only wish ASUS had a better reputation for RMA I'm dreading ever having to use it but will probably buy an ASUS motherboard when I upgrade. This board (P8Z77-V pro) will probably keep on ticking for a couple more years, I don't have a need to upgrade my 3570K yet. I will note though, even back on P67 chipset the ASUS UEFI BIOS was really good, others were not.
  6. Americans only give you the price on contract, they get their pants pulled down for them too. That's like o2 store saying 'iPhone 6 only £49 with £36pm 24mnth contract'
  7. What is the issue with Killer NICs? Is it because they use a PCIE lane while the Intel one runs from the chipset? Also, what about ASRock, how do you rate them against MSI?
  8. How much do you want left of the 1600 EURO for a monitor? Tell me exactly how much you want to spend on the machine itself (just the PC, not a display or any peripherals) and I will make a European PCPartpicker build for you tailored to that budget. If you tell me which country could help also, would ordering from the United Kingdom work?
  9. Not on their more expensive boards surely? They specifically advertise high quality components on those. If they do, what evidence of this is there?
  10. That is incredibly bad value for money, do you know anyone who could build for you if you order parts?
  11. Get a 780, more VRAM and you don't have to rely on SLI.
  12. BS, he changed his mind about facebook when he smelled the money. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/minecrafts-notch-now-okay-with-facebook-buying-ocu/1100-6421777/
  13. Come forth EA support evangelists, tell me more about how Steam support sucks. I do fold that I've seen more horror stories from Valve, a lot more, this isn't a horror story more than a case of encountering an unhelpful rep.
  14. u ain't ready for my rape face

  16. TLDR kloaked vs net neutrality rape apologist/comcast shill, much tears, very anguish, such frustrate. Fuck that guy lol I wouldn't have argued with him it's a waste of time.
  17. I am fully erect whenever I hear about GTA V, haters get on my end.

  19. They are in an embarrassing position of not being able to directly parcitipate, they are fighting the man by throwing big fat signed checks at him in the hope that he chokes on one.
  20. Are you sure about that? I entered that page from the seller's portal, I only searched for items by that seller.
  21. Welcome to Xbox exclusive future titles from Mojang then...
