Xquisite

1: Not likely. But there's always a chance. 

2: Yes, you can throw it across the room and it won't die. But be sure not to get any liquid onto it, of any kind. 

3: Not sure what you mean by that.

4: Nope, not at this time, or that I'm aware of. 

Just get a 8320 and call it a day. It'll be better to have two PCs instead of one. 

I'm in 25*c ambient right now and the GPU is sitting about 44-46*c idle, altho when in true idle (not browsing or anything) it gets down to 40*c.

Aussie Summers very close, you can already feel it.

That's cute mate. Where I live, it usually averages at 46°C in the summer, my GPU reaches 101°C and turns itself off. 

Btw, going to upgrade to a 750Ti soon, to combat the situation...

Everything is fine. Yeah just upgrade your RAM. It's fairly standard, but try to get the same RAM that you already have in your PC, don't worry if you can't, it won't blow up. 

And to answer your original question, if I were you, I'd rather a 980 over a 780Ti any day. Performance is close enough and price is a huge plus. 

Alienware X51.. 'Nuff said. 

Well, for starters AMD does say that if that card reaches 95°C while gaming, that's perfectly 'normal'. 

Mine's a Black Nexus 5 16GB

well I guess you can say it was a lemon of a gpu then I always thought Asus always send out quality products

They always do, you're just one of the ever so scarce unlucky few. 

Dang it, for me it is

1280x1024

60 FPS

Low

It's decent, not bad. I just need a good shooter.. BF comes to mind as I've played enough COD. 

And it'll improve overtime but much more rapidly(supposedly) as the devs behind this are said to be better. 

PC: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Phone: Android 4.4.4 (K)

Dand it, not available here.. It's about time they expand to other countries. 

I was like only 3.. Don't remember

First of all, congratulations on this achievement, you've come a long way! 
And yeah, the way I found you was one day I was looking for a review on the 690 from EVGA. Aww, I still remember those old unboxing days. :3

 

Having seen both 'Laptops in Classrooms' and 'iPad - iLearn' programs in action my vote goes directly to the ipads and tablets in general for a number of reasons.

• Weight
  • Ipads are a lot lighter when you take into account their casing, the charger and then the device itself while still offering good battery life.
• Application
  • To be honest I do not see that students should be typing all of their work out - it should still be hand written. For the last year or so of my school life we did have Dell notebooks in the classroom however I barely bought mine in favor of my personal iPad purely for text books and occasionally as a easy to use pen and touch based calculator. iPad's are much easier to use for textbooks allowing you to flip pages easily and zoom in on content. Put this in contrast with Adobe Reader or similar which on a 10" laptop display is a pain in the ass to use when paired with a crappy touchpad.
• Distraction
  • It is much more difficult to be distracted on a tablet than it is a laptop. My reasoning behind this is that the laptop screen builds a barrier between what the student sees and what the teacher sees. Old computer rooms were always designed with a circle in mind because it allowed the teacher to better communicate with the students and also monitor their progress or in some cases, lack there of during lessons. With an iPad left face up on a desk as a textbook, a teacher can keep a better eye on what the student is actually doing. There was many a time I saw students on Facebook & Myspace (easy to bypass proxies for Vic education department), Skype/MSN ect. iPads in particular also prevent this as multitasking on an ipad involves a lot of manual work to switch between two applications whereas with laptops and the majority of most tablets, it's one or two clicks or taps and you've switched from Skype to what you're meant to be doing quite easily before the teacher catches wind of the issue. 
• Durability
  • Now I guarantee that most of you will disagree when I say an iPad is more durable than a laptop but when you're looking at sub $1000 notebooks that have poor plastic construction like those from Dell, the aluminium and glass mix body of an iPad in combination with a notebook style case is a hell of a lot more durable. Mix this with flash based storage in comparison with WD Blue 5400RPM drives that break quite easily when thrown around in a school bag or knocked off a desk and the iPad from what I've seen first hand lasts a lot longer. 
• Deployment
  • Having seen and been involved in the deployment of netbooks in classroms, iPad's are a lot easier to deploy on a mass scale as each netbook has to be imaged which is roughly a 3 hour plus process for every unit depending on the network infrastructure. 

 

Can't agree more with this. 

Look at the shadows on Linus' shirt.

That's because of video compression. 

id love to put two of these togheter and have an i5 for 90$ instead!! they should put out a dual socket motherboard!

This. 

Yes and no. You can go a little bit but not too far. If it's a bad overclocker it'll heat up really quick.

This. 

It's the Nvidia GT 440. :3

Macfag, to me is a 11 year old who brags about his Mac being from Apple and all. That it looks better, is more durable and it can even last for the next 6 years. Dammit.
Oh and yeah, it runs BF4 at 200 FPS. 

EDIT-Fixed typos

In terms of straightforward performance as a CPU alone, Intel's solutions are

almost universally more powerful. They usually run cooler and draw less

power - however they also tend to cost a fair amount more.

 

In short, Intel's solutions are better for those seeking maximum performance.

AMD's solutions tend to be better for those seeking performance on a budget.

+1

This answer should suffice. And thread should get locked before a flamewar. 

Nothing to see here guys and gals. Just a Mod showing his awesomeness.

What I refer to, every time:

I just got Ninja'd.. Yeah, I do the same too

TBH, for me it's Candy Crush. I'm sure most people here will agree with me on this.

@CATSLUVER420
Try using msconfig.exe(from Start Menu) and turn off all those pesky un-used programs which start automatically at startup. 

It's very likely that your PCI-E Riser is faulty. Or it has a problem with the connection.
