  1. When the ATI Radeon HD 5xxx's were new i bought an HD 5450 1GB cause' dem GB's............. 2 months later I bought an HD 5770. I was so upset the 5450 was worse than my Geforce 9500GT i could swear ATI was the worst GPU company. (Ah the days of being under educated and not researching.)

    I bought a GT 440 'cuz of dem GBs too :D

    *High Five*

    I still use that to this day, and I'm lookinag at the 270x now. 

  2. Do you guys get eye strain when you use your computers? My eyes always hurt when I'm gaming or reading articles on my PC :( Hopefully computers don't cause permanent eye damage lol

    Actually, it depends on the monitor you're using. If you are using a Monitor that flickers* then it can cause severe eye strain, headaches and what-not. 

     

    *flickering happens and depends on your Refresh Rate(Hz) of your Monitor. 

  3. WHAT?!

     

    And yes, the stock paste. I have to admit, I don't know how to apply thermal paste, so I always buy coolers with them pre-applied.

    I mean, I know, line method, pea method, blah blah blah but it doesn't cover the whole CPU and it's not evenly applied across the surface so I feel that some cores are gonna get hotter and etc.

    Dude, the cores are at the center of the CPU. You don't have to cover all the surface area of the CPU. Some can be left. As it won't be that hot there. The purpose of thermal paste is to transfer the heat from the cores to your Cooler. It doesn't matter if the whole cpu is covered. A bit can be left uncovered. It doesn't really matter. 

  4. You should buy BF4 now and get better and better at it. And after when you get the hang of the game, buy Hardline if you feel like it. Hardline does have potential to be a good game, and finally the devs behind it are listening to the public. 

  5. This would mean I would need the product once to use when creating it to be bootable and then again when I first install onto the hard drive?

     

    I don't quite understand what you wanted to say there but here's how it works, you download a setup thingy in which you enter your product key, and it then starts downloading your Windows ISO. It'll take some time though, a typical Windows ISO is about 3.5GB. After your done, just select install by creating media, and let it make your spare USB into a bootable flash drive for installing windows. And you will never need to do this process again, just pop in your USB, restart the computer and boot to your USB to start installing windows again if you ever need to. Don't lose your key though.
