Hey guys, A few years ago I made the mistake of buying my first PC instead of building it. I have this piece of crap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229362 and ever since then (about 4 years ago) I have been in the process of slowly (but surely) upgrading it one part at a time until eventually it will have no original parts. So far I have upgraded the graphics card to a second hand Nvidea 650 with 2gb of gddr ram, added in a Corsair H60 liquid cooling CPU fan, and added in an SSD as my boot drive. So my question is this: What should I upgrade next? I have about $500 to spend, but could hypothetically go a little bit over this. I use this PC mostly for editing on Premiere Pro, and do very little gaming. My priorities are (in order) 1) Having smoother editing and faster export times 2) Quieter performance overall 3) Smaller form factor 4) Having a kick-ass looking PC Will upgrading my CPU/motherboard help with editing more than a new GPU would, or vice versa? If I upgrade either of these, would I have any money left over for other upgrades? Thank you!

Yesterday I was working on a school project with my friend on her Macbook. I looked over her shoulder as she closed a Web page, and I saw her notes app open. Here are the names of some of her notes. "all passwords" "social security number" "credit card numbers" When I tried to explain to her how bad of a system this is, her response was "well, this is my personal laptop and there are not a lot of people who know the password, so no one will see it" I facepalmed myself into the stratosphere before rattling off maybe a dozen ways how someone could destroy her life in 10 minutes. I should mention that this girl is 18 and the #1 valedictorian in my school. One of the most book smart, least street smart people I have ever met.

Nor should you be, good sir (or madam). At least your gif is synced with the words, unlike that WAN Show.

I signed up, but I hate the complete lack of mobile support. If you don't have an iPhone, there isn't any way to watch, because they don't have an android app and you can't sign in using a browser. I watch most videos on my phone, so I'm sticking primarily to YouTube for now.

Today my dad asked me to help him with his Mac, because ads keep popping up. I look into it, and he somehow has malware and viruses that aren't even possible to get on a mac. I have no idea how.

So I made a resolution to have watched at least 100 movies this year (from October to October) I'm at 45 so far. So here's my question--in your opinion, do TV movies count towards my 100? They are usually the correct length, but just haven't been released theatrically. Also, do you have any suggestions? Don't pick obvious ones, maybe movies I wouldn't have otherwise heard of. Thanks LTT!

I have the HTC one m7 on Sprint and the Lollipop update just became available. Should I download it? Has anyone else with this phone tried it yet? I was super excited at first, but I have been hearing some not great things about this update, and want some feedback before taking the plunge. Thanks!

I just got the Mad Dogs and I would highly recommend them. Here is a great review of them (I have it set to start at a quote the reviewer says that is relevant to your question)

I'm a video editor, and this would remove a lot of the headache that comes with trying to edit on a lower end cpu. I'm also a student, so this is basically the only way I could afford this chip.

Because real talk, I really wish my HTC One m7 had a kickstand.

I love that the GTX 970 could actually allow me to play modern games on reasonable settings (unlike the GPU I have currently)

Mr. Speakers, MoonAudio,and The Cable Company offer 15 or 30 day money back guarantees, so I plan to buy a few headphones and test them out for a week or two before picking one. I think my current short list is the Sennheiser HD8 DJs, AKG K550, Mad Dog Pros, and maybe the Beyerdynamic T70p, Audio Technica ATH-A900X and Denon AH-D 600. Also, I think I will purchase the Fiio E10k or maybe Shiit Stack and some high quality recordings of albums I know well for testing the headphones.
