    Not really because even a hard drive is like 160MB/s read, which is 1.28Gb/s, and I doubt you have internet that can do that for a long period of time.

    Flying Sausages reacted to Streetguru in Upgrading Build   
    They're only 4 phase, while the X470 boards are a doubled 4 phase, but it's probably just a dumb doubled 4 phase.
     
    But I'm seeing the tomahawk for $110, so you might as well go X470 at the same price or within $10.

    Why not get something faster if you can afford it? Especially since OP will be getting a 1440p monitor and the 1070 will be better suited to that.

    You already have a 1060
    The 580 would be no upgrade, they're so similar in performance it would be redundant
    Then the 1070 is also fairly close. It would be an upgrade, but not much of one.
     
    Just save your money

    On a GPU? No. Also, a 360mm AIO will outperform any air cooled system.

    thats just it the free lift ticket (closest ski resorts also weekdays only) were automatically given to each person who attended. the prizes was raffles and such. hell the lift ticket was the biggest bonus to go to the shows lol

    Flying Sausages reacted to amdorintel in Long Shot: Anyone going to watch Warren Miller?   
    there were only about a dozen free prizes for the theater itself through the promo companies, but warren miller has separate prizes of ski trips to europe. the theater prizes were t-shirts, hoodies, free day lift tickets, a beer bag which i find hilareous because i've been busted numerous times drinking on the ski hill. other prizes were  2 for 1 and a cpl stays at a local ski resort. pretty lame over-all but it was entertaining as the two mcs, one lady and one man, asked the children to come up and draw, and they were all given small prizes. one family one of 5 inc 3 children won 2 prizes which was neat to see. its what the children will remember when they grow up and keep them in the sport, maybe even do some ski club coaching, or ski school teaching.

    yeah i ran across the same problem, it went from like a 3500 seat theater way back in the day, there was a large vendor area, coat check, full bar, with lots of swag. course that was back when Nissan was the primary ad revenue for wm.
     
    now its a 350 seat place, with uncomfortable seats, in a 30 year old theater and VW is doing it. a local electric supply company sign on one side of the screen and castle mountain resorts banner ad on the other. lots more in film product placement which comes with the internet age and better advertisement agency methods.
     
    the showing for the one i saw, tickets were only on sale for 3 or 4 months prior to showing. the listing did not even show up on wm's website until 4 months ago, i had to email the website.
     
    $17 x 350 is $6k, plus probably another $1k in consession stand monies, however booze was served so might have been more. not sure how much it would have cost them to host it, theater costs. the hosts/mc's were not professionals, i'd say below average job. the lighting for the mini stage wasnt great at all. the theaters before showing lighting was horrible for filling out the prize form. the guy specifically mentioned to give them back their pens lol to fill out the form.
     
    I would have been way more comfortable if I just purchased the dvd and watched it at home, but the 2019 dvd wont be out for awhile until the summer undoubtedly.

    I like this one Decades Digital Collection (16 Films on USB) — Regular price $130
    but would rather have the previous consecutive 15 years of films. $25 per film though

    his claim to fame
    The films name is "Timeless" by Warren Miller, obviously his son is doing it now and he has a california accent which is a big turn off. I liked the smooth voice of Warren himself.
     
    I just saw the film, the first half was blah but I dug the mohak guy, he was a blast from the past! I totally remember him from WM films of yore.
    Most recently he hosted Truck Night in America on History channel. On that show he had funky hair, hes gotta be in his late 50s now. So he was a guest skier, the other skiers were all young bucks, a racer or two, freeriders galore. One was a slalom racer, olympics.
     
    No big huge air, it was all pretty tame. The camera angles were alright, but they tried to make the jumps they did do look bigger then they really were.
     
    The only outrageous ski act was a paraglider (no motor) that skied.
     
    After the 10 minute intermission, and prize give aways, the second half of the movie begun. I walked out about 5-10 minutes into it. I could see it going in a direction of "save the whales/earth" with the guy from Honduras save the planet message. The others it was basically bios of various people, people who work in town and ski the mountains.
     
    It was worth the $17 I paid I guess.
     
    What I hated was the ticket said 6pm but the movie actually started at 6:30pm, so me getting there 45 minutes (at 5:15pm) early was a drag, having a total of a 1:15hr wait. We got a prime seat though! Lots of kids in the audience, the theater was packed full, I'd guess 350 seats. The usual 20 something drunks holding up the rear.
     
    Pop was $5.15, the beers were probably $8 or $9, who knows.

    if the upgrade was free, and you were paying for it
    i would pick the most expensive component, probably a gpu because you can do more with that

    GPU because, although it has plenty of power, being a GCN 1.0 card Linux support is ass so games either run super slow or my computer crashes (especially with games running under Proton).

    I need more storage and I'm torn between upgrading to a larger SSD or HDD. Both are more than 50% full. It's tough that a lot of write to the C drive by default so my SSD is full of a lot of junk.

    This is actually one thing I can’t do.
     
    I built my rig a year ago and balanced it so well I can only really build a whole new PC or at least change monitor and GPU together to go 144hz 1440p which is possible.
     
    I COULD have done with getting a more powerful PSU than 550W but my system can handle any reasonable GPU out there without any overclocks as the rest of my system draws little so I have plenty of GPU headroom. So I didn’t need to, it would only be to meet the recommended minimum PSU stated against GPUs which doesn’t really apply to me as I don’t have an i7 9900k OCed to 5Jhz.
     
    My CPU draws 80-120 at most as its not OCable.

    I wish I could only upgrade one part, but next time I upgrade my RAM, CPU, etc, and add SAS cards for more storage, I'll need a new motherboard.  (Currently have 32GB RAM and an i7-4790K in an ASRock Z97 Extreme6, and for all the storage, etc I'd like to put in, it doesn't have enough PCIe lanes and I really don't want to go HEDT if I don't have to.)
