I use a lot of apple products such as the Ipad, iphone, air pods, and have a mac mini, and I like the integration that they all have with each other and Icloud.

I understand that windows will probably suit me better, part of the reason I want the mac is to have the mac os and the ease of software and optimization. Without the whole buy a windows laptop, I was also wondering if i could use half of the 4tb external hard drive, the one for game storage, as storage on the mac itself then use the other for the windows game storage.

I am going to a larger university for computer science in the fall and I have decided to buy a new macbook pro to replace my rather old gaming pc and use as a daily driver for school and a hobby in photography. I want to use this to power my gaming so when I come home from school, I don't have to worry about lugging around a full desktop pc. I plan on dual booting the system with windows using external storage to play games while using a graphics enclosure and my gtx 1070 to power the gaming. I was wondering if I could use an external ssd as a boot for windows while having a different external mass storage hard drive for a gaming storage so I could have a fast boot time into windows while also having enough storage for a complete steam library. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am in search of someone that can work with me to create myself a logo, banner, overlay etc for an up and coming Twitch stream that I am starting. I didn't really know where to look or start, so I figured this would be a good place to. I am wanting to compensate the creator with an agreed amount that is within reason for the both of us. If anyone out there is interested, I would somewhat be wanting to learn how to do these things myself for future instances which would lead to an increased pay. Thanks!

I usually play solo and when i go to squad or duo, nobody has a mic or they just don't talk. I'd love to have some people to play with! Comment your steam names and ill add you and we can play

Don't be sorry, you have helped me a tremendous amount. I think I am going to invest in a 980 and see how the system holds up, and worst comes to worse, upgrade my CPU.

My computer does pretty good in the games I currently play, given that the majority of that is PUBG. I just wanted a little more in terms of graphical capabilities, or just a little more "wow factor" while gaming on my pc, and figured upgrading to something like the 980 and a better monitor would be the way to go. I just didn't know if my CPU would hold me back from that.

Are both the upgrades becoming a necessity? Because I was trying to steer away from splurging into both, but didn't know if my CPU would soon become a bottleneck

As far as budget goes, I was looking in the 400 range excluding a monitor. I didn't know if my CPU would start to bottleneck in newer games or a possible higher resolution.

Hi, I am new to the forums here, so please let me know if i do something wrong. I built my first computer a couple of years ago with my dad for a Christmas present. We had a budget of around 600-700, I can't fully remember. Anyways, through the years I upgraded my graphics on Christmas, threw in an extra ram kit, and switched PSU's. The computer is only used for gaming, no video editing, rendering, or anything of the sorts. The build is as follows: CPU- Fx 8320 MOBO- Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 RAM- 16gb G.SKIll RIPJAWS 2300mhz HDD- 1TB WD 7200rpm GPU- Sapphire NITRO 380x 4gb PSU- EVGA 700 watt( cant remember model name) I am wanting to do another upgrade, since I got my current card around 2 years ago. I had a couple of concerns when thinking through this process and was told to come here. The first of my concerns is my aging processor. The processor is reaching the 4 year mark now, and I didn't know if I should worry about upgrading to a new platform such as Intel coffee lake, or a Ryzen, or should my processor continue to handle newer games if I were to upgrade my graphics card. The next of my concerns is the actual card upgrade. With the skyrocketed price of graphics cards due to mining, would a card such as the 980 SC be a good choice to pick up, giving that you can get one under 400 and it can play any game out right now with ease, or should I wait until the price inflation goes down and get a newer chipset. I know this post is getting a little long now, but as a closing question, which would deliver a better gaming experience in everyone's opinion; an ultrawide monitor or a 1440p monitor?
