  1. I suppose that's more understandable than just coming up with Radeon, actually given me a new found respect for the name but I just wished the kept it a little more obvious, I personally just prefer names that are actually named after something rather than made up names outright.
  2. I've never seen this washing powder, probably don't sell it my ASDA. Though I do admit I have heard of it
  3. Have to give that a read, love hearing about rival companies stealing each others employees.
  4. I couldn't trust a comunity to pick my next product lines name. Would be to afraid of another BoatyMcBoatface scenario, but unlike BoatyMcBoatFace I'd live up to the promise of letting them pick it.
  5. Honestly knew the answer to the APUs didn't know about the revision, but I agree about most people not knowing, which is rather frustrating at times when they're trying to explain how good their new computer is and it suddenly becomes a prime example of Schrodinger's cat. But I mean, imaging your a consumer, you know nothing about computer parts and you're deciding on a new computer part and you look online to find out about cpus, and you see that AMD has a fairly inexpensive Excavator, but Intel has decent broadwell or so you think, would you really trust a cpu that sounds like roadworks equipment?
  6. Oh god Wattman still atleast it's obvious about what it does. And yeah it does, but it's like do I buy an intel kaby lake, or the Undertakers signature move cpu? hahaha
  7. Rocking a GTX 960 I got on clearance myself, got myself an AMD A series cpu though for some reason I do agree but atleast GeForce you can find a definition for and the name kinda make sense, I don't even know how Radeon was named. Probably the same way death metal bands find a name :l
  8. Now I like AMD, GPU and CPU wise. I think they're very good at price for performance, I also think that Nvidia and Intel are better at doing things...well better. I've always felt that one of the worse things of AMD's products and probably from an overall marketing standpoint is their naming. It sounds stupid but as an average consumer you're going to be more attracted to purchasing a CPU based of Intel's "Skylake" processors than AMD's steamroller. (Although tbf the average consumer wont care so much about architectures and things so for simplicity's sake we'll do it this way) i7, i5, i3, pentium.etc also sounds a lot more simple and "technological" than the A series, Athlon and FX, and their graphics cards...wtf is Radeon, Nvidia's GeForce sounds amazing compared to Radeon. Anywho AMD's marketing seems to be getting better, I mean who wouldn't love the name Polaris vs Pascal, or Zen vs i series. Do you believe AMD is taking a stand and bumping up their marketing because they have more faith in their products, just bought a new a commercial branding team, or just want to sound cooler to sling the next load of disasters they fling at us after FX and RX480. Just a fun topic about the commercial side of things over specs and stuff. I'm definitely not super qualified to analyse this, just thought it would be fun to chat about
  9. Thank you for your response, I Thank you for your responses and help Thanks to everyone really, looking at these builds has really helped me decide on what to go with. I'll most likely go for the 5820k but may even beef up in the GPU area of things undecided on that yet but thank you very much
  10. These builds are awesome for the money, so now I'm curious about the first one. I know gaming favours fewer faster cores and editing favours more cores so the question now is will I see a major bottleneck in the gaming side if I opted for the 5820k over the 6700k?

  12. Oh I must have posted the wrong link ahah, I had opted for a 500gb ssd instead of a 1tb and decided for a m.2 for boot 850w was for overclocking head room and possible sli in the future, plus in the fully modular category it wasn't much more than the 650w I was originally looking at
  13. So I'm no stranger to building a PC, I'm not well versed but I'm no stranger. My first and current build is a budget build that took me a year to finish because I didn't have a job at the time of making it, it's specs if you're interested are as follows - CPU: AMD A8-7600(Yes I know, athlon x4 860k would have been better, live and learn) MOBO: ASUS A88XM-A(Actually believe this is a brilliant motherboard for the money on FM2+) RAM: 2 sticks 8 gigs for dual channel DDR3 1866mhz Kingston Fury GPU: GTX 960 Strix (It was originally a GTX 750 but I had some spare cash floating around a few months back) HDD: A shitty ass laptop hard drive at 320gb. Budget af PSU: CORSAIR VS550 (Which once again was an upgrade when the one I had in my previous case came bundled blew. I know shocker right? pun intended) Anyway now that I'm working again I was looking into building a PC I could use as all round as I could get it. I'm thinking about creating content for youtube so I wanted something that could handle video editing rather easily, and be able to game some AAA titles. Now keep in mind that if this build is a great build to go with I wont exactly be running straight to my local maplins to buy every part out right so each part will be bought over time and as such I don't mind saving a few extra pennies here and there for something a bit better. I was wondering what you guys thought of this build, and what limitations am I looking at? could I improve this with no MAJOR bumps in cost?
