Pro tip: Buy a real car and pay for real gas.

If you dont have anything of interest to add to the thread shut your mouth okay?
A simple yes or no would suffice , no need to be a jerk.

Yup your temps are perfectly fine. Just never use prime 95. IETU is perfect.

Anti-surge protection kicks in for a reason. DO NOT disable it. Your PSU is apparently buggered

Come at me.
 
PCMR argues its superiority for the wrong reasons, and why console plebs find PCMR to be irritating and foolish. Argue with me, if you'd like, but I feel like a lot of the arguments are not actually as solid as people would like to think. The ignorance of the PCMasterRace matches the ignorance they claim these console plebs have.
 
Somebody build me a $350 computer, with decent peripherals included, that can run all games on decent settings (ranging from 720-1080p), with a TDP of 100w, and is easy to set up. It also can't be based on Black Friday sales, used components, or old parts you "found throughout the house," because an Xbox One isn't based on any of those.
 
Come at me.
 
1) PC gaming is cheaper.
A: Dependent. What if, as I have now, I buy an Xbox One for $350, and get Destiny, Halo MCC, and Halo 5. I bought Destiny on sale for $30, with Xbox Live for $30, so that's a grand total of $530, and that's all I want. Now, to get a decent gaming computer to play all current games, I'm looking at a minimum of an i5-4440 and GTX 750 Ti, which could last awhile, but cost $500-600 depending on what else you buy on the PC (I've built 750 Ti & Pentium G3258 PCs for $500 with all the bling). Now include peripherals, then games, aaaaaannddd... The Xbox One was cheaper. Oh, well, that shouldn't happen, or be true, but it is. Also, people still buy games on release for PC at the full $60.
 
You can argue a G3258 is enough, but I disagree, since Far Cry 4 can't accommodate for Dual Cores, but the Xbox One can play FC4 fine.
 
2) Building a PC isn't hard.
A: It's not hard, but can be frustrating if you do something wrong. I can't say that "building a PC is hard" is a very effective argument, but I can easily argue, "I plugged in my Xbox, updated, and was ready to play." It was extremely easy, and still cheaper. Building a PC isn't hard, but setting up a console is even easier.
 
3) You have to deal with a cruddy community and little kids on a console.
A: I've met some really cool people on Destiny, and some really stupid kids on TF2. It's hard to summarize a community like that.
 
4) You can play with friends online.
A: It's 50x easier and cheaper to play with four friends in local multiplayer than setting up four laptops and computers for one game at one place.
 
5) You have to buy an entirely new console when Microsoft releases one.
A: And you have to upgrade a PC with the new consoles to match the new demands these new games might have. Ubisoft is a bad example, but a GTX 780 in the recommended specs for Watch_Dogs? That's probably just poor optimization, but I don't think PC will be getting the same great optimization that consoles have. There is also development on the Xbox 360 going on still, so you can easily wait for the next console to go down a little cheaper.
 
What do I think PCMR has? Obviously, a mouse and keyboard is undeniably the easier and better way to play. Not always comfortable for a couch or in local multiplayer, but the better way to play for a single gamer at a desk. Higher resolutions and better graphics is a major bonus for PC gaming. I'll argue with console plebs when one says the other is better, you're not buying the console for graphics, you're buying it for the exclusives, features, and controller. PC has the superior everything else. Modding support and better indie support, not to mention the constant F2P and reliance on digital media instead of physical discs (I prefer digital, but my internet is so bad). PC is, when you can afford it, the superior way to play games, but consoles are still great and serve a good purpose. At the price point they're being sold at, it's perfectly fine.
 
I like having a super PC, but the total and utter disrespect for consoles on here is ridiculous. They serve a purpose and they serve it well, I'm glad I own an Xbox One because of the games like Destiny and MCC. I have a minimum of 120 hours invested in Destiny already, but not so much on my PC for the past few months.
 
I'm also waiting for FC4 to go on sale for PC. I'd much rather have it on PC than console.

Anything under $100 or over $700

why why no no
 

Not much actually. You can easily overclock the reference GTX 980 to get the same results with an EVGA ACX 2.0.

Use steel chains and wrap it around the heat tightly and then pull it.Simple as that.Works for me

No, You need to have both connected in order for your card to receive the power it needs.

On may 24th, 1970, a Russian research project started on the Kola Peninsula. The goal was to basically drill as deep as possible. The project was eventually abandoned in 2005 due to a lack of funding.

Several bore-holes were drilled, branching from a main hole. The deepest point was reached in 1989 and was at a depth of 12,262 meters, 40,230 ft for us Americans....that's 7.6 Miles...had to mention that because our units of measurement are not Base 10, and you need to do math to come to that conclusion.
ANYWAY
On that hole, they expected to reach a depth of 15,000 meters (49,000 ft) by 1993. Problem was, the temperatures at this depth were expect to be around 100c (boiling point), but ended up being almost twice that. Drilling past 12,262 meters was determined to be not possible , as the temperature would be at least 300c by 15,000 meters, and it would be too hot for the drilling equipment. Thus, this hole was abandoned in 1992. 
So for the good news
 

The GPU required to actually run it properly doesn't even exist

:")

That's stretching it for a single 970. 

Refund immediately. Remember the Watch Dogs problems that Ubi never fixed? Same deal with AC:U. They don't give a damn, so you shouldn't give them your money.

It is an Ubisoft product.  Cancel it.  They don't deserve your money. If you have to have the game buy it in some cheap crap sale way later on where they make next to nothing off it.  Better yet buy it used for console and play it or rent it from a video store and play it.

Assassin's Creed is a dying franchise, just like COD.

I strongly recommend the GTX 970. It's the best bang for the buck. You can max out pretty much any games at 1080p.

Hey dude...wake up...250-300 frames per second is A MASSIVE framerate and no displays on the face of planet earth at this time can display anything more than 144FPS...
