    No, the maximum of DP 1.2 is two 1080p 144 Hz monitors.

    Don't.
    No, seriously, don't do that!
    I have two R9-280X (7970GHz) and at the time it wasn't that bad of an idea. But that was something like 5 Years ago or so.
    Today things are a bit different and most games just don't work with multiple graphics cards wich means they either don't work or they cause problems/instabilitys...
     

    But here we are talking about the devil's circle:

    Because nobody had/has SLI/CF; the geme developers don't care about it much.
    And because the Game Developers don't care much about SLI/CF, nobody buys them.
     

    Wolfenstein the NEw Colossus is one of those Games that don't support two Graphics cards...
     
    WIthout ANy OC on anything it could be enough for testing purposes/short Benchmark runs.
    Though I'm not sure about normal operation because I do not have a Hawaii based graphics card and don't plan on gettin one either...
     
    YOu feel wrong.
    But I wouldn't get a Bronze unit at that wattage.
    I'd get a Platinum one if possible or at least a good quality 80plus Gold one.
     
    Are there any non CHinese made PSU you could buy right now??
    Except for the Cooler Master Made in Japan Thingy for 1000 bucks...
     
    But, as usual with such broad questions:
    Some are good, many are bad. Without knowing what is good, you'd buy a potato or a lemon.
     
    Depends on the 390(x)
    There are some with open Power Limit, there are ones without.
    At Default they're not that bad, well not worse than other highest end Cards.
    But with OC they can be really bad.
     
    But I agree with the non SLI/CF Statement. Two Graphics cards are just something you want to play around with, not because it makes sense or is a good idea.

    I can't follow your logic. Since some power supplies made in China are good, then every power supply made in the entire country is good as well?
    Why not think the opposite - since some PSUs made in China are terrible, then all PSUs made in China are terrible?
     
    We don't know the voltage regulation, load regulation, ripple, transient response, hold-up time, crossload, build quality, used components and reliability of that linked PSU, and it doesn't even have any safety certifications at all, so no, it's not okay to buy it.

    850w is enough, but even then i'd just sell both of them and get a 1070ti/1080 with the money instead. One 390x alone eats a ton of power, let alone 2 of them.

    You are kinda breaking Laravel's advantages now, which is totally understandable if you new to it.
    You probably used to do it a certain way and now is the time to learn the advantages of a framework like Laravel, now I can explain you how it works with pulling data from the Model etc but the easier answer and shorter one for me would be is to watch a Laracast serie.

    Pretty early (Episode 5) they talk about what you need I believe.

    bumping into a BMW of all cars scares the shit out of me on my first accident, i'm reaaaaaally lucky the owner is a pretty chill guy and just says its just a scratch
     
    can you even imagine the horror, it was like a week at my first job after graduate too...

    For sure be upfront about it! let him know tell him what happened, and best of all, know that mistakes happen but LEARN from your mistakes. Try to be as comfortable and unstressed as possible behind the wheel, the more tense you are, the easier it is for mistakes and accidents to happen.
     
    Best advice i can give to a new driver is to take a course at a Performance Driving School. Some Autocross/scca associations even offer a weekend driving school, save up and buy a $500 beater and use it at autocross events. Doing most car enthusiast type events will net you quick results in vehicle control, spacial awareness, etc.

    I remember when I was backing out of a parking space I rear ended other car who was backing out the same time. Both at fault.

    How about this: Literally 3 weeks after buying my 2014 Jetta brand new (As in, it had 40 KM on the ODO, most likely from people test driving it), I backed into a concrete pillar and scratched the fuck out of the bumper (fortunately no cracks).
     
    And I wasn't even a novice driver. I've been driving since like 2002.
     
    To my credit, though, this pillar was in a parking lot, and was only about 2 feet high, so it's literally impossible to see in the rear-view Mirror.
     
    Anyway, you should definitely tell your father about the accident. You want him to know that you're honest about mistakes. If you hide it from him, he'll eventually find out anyway and won't be very pleased with you (and you will have lost some trust with him).

    a concrete lamp post is worst  What happened to you is likely the biggest reason new cars gets dents from their owners, a simple misjudgment in distance.

    Could've been worse, but it happens. I was in a similar situation. The road was narrow and I reversed into a truck that appeared out of nowhere and had to replace my car's bumper which was badly damaged (the truck had 0 damage). I depended on my cars' rear sensors (stupid..) and wasn't fully paying attention to the mirrors + I let the brakes go and the car was going a bit fast. The whole situation is just way more stupid compared to yours and it made me feel really terrible for a while but it taught me a lesson.

    Yep, backed my SUV into my cousin's truck while his wife was sitting inside. Everyone was fine and both cars were miraculously unscathed, but I did almost have a heart attack and felt terrible for a while. But you just learn from your mistake and do better next time.

    You can also try this method of fixing the dent.

    Dents aren't bad everyone gets them at some point, I have a friend that had their car broken into and then a month later t-boned.  There are two methods that I have tested that work for home dent removal, the first (only works if metal) is to heat up the area (a hairdryer works but takes a good amount of time) and then apply dry ice to it, make sure you wear gloves for this, the other is a product called pops-a-dent, which you can get off amazon(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY4S7ZU/ref=twister_B01MG5SXVL?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1).  I have tested these up to baseball sized dents, talk to your dad and explore these options.

    Don't sweat it. Mistakes happen (some are just more expensive than others)
     
    As @Dylanc1500 said, the biggest takeaway here is to make sure you've learned from the mistake and take note of your surroundings more. If you want to be positive about it, at least it was a tree and not a dog or something.

    Just be upfront with your father and tell him exactly what happened while being as detailed as possible. Express to him how you feel about the situation and show your remorse for the accident. Letting him know what you know you could have done different to prevent the accident will also be reaffirming for him, as it will let him know you learned from the situation.

    I dont see the Alienware bringing any extra performance (both CPU are limited by GPU in games anyway) other than the larger screen (which can only be noticed in side by side comparison). I would just stay with the MSI and not worry about hassle and problems a used item could bring.

    eGPU is coming. I know a friend who was lucky enough to hop onto the first gen 15R2 6820HK 970m. Now he's rocking it at 4.2ghz overclocked (super quiet too because GPU is basically off in the laptop) with a 1080ti via AGA.

    Get them to run a few tests and show you the results. It'll tell you usage and drive health.
    I wouldn't buy an SSD without knowing these things.
