Maybe Valve to a lesser extent. (yeah I said it)

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Digital Storm increased the price for one build that I looked at for laughs and giggles by $850. Total joke.

Well yeah but they make it seem like our Graphics card are now the best because it has 4gb of 4 vram when in reality gtx 970 is still a great graphics card despite Vram problems.

XBOX, Alienware, and any flashy no name Chinese brand.

 

Corsair really isn't. They really aren't flashy.

Ram compared to Gskill is overpriced SSD don't even get me started. PSU are overhyped and overrated compared to EVGA. I don't hate Corsair as there keyboards and mice are great but there RAM SSD and PSu are overpriced I mean look at this build

And AMD still has a graphics card that performs the same, for cheaper, with 4gb of fully functional VRAM. Don't get me wrong I have a GTX 970 and I love it, never ran into any VRAM issues. But the 290x does cost less now, if you don't mind the extra power needed

I got a GTX 970 for $0. From across the ocean in the land of Swedeland

 

When something is no longer manufactured, the listing price goes up a lot on certain websites (like Amazon) which is why their price for a GTX 780 is around $500

Wow those prices are good just that I'd rather pay $10-$20 for more stable drivers as in jays r9 290x video he said he has benn getting crashes with his r9 290x. Yet AMD isn't a bad brand maybe I might get one of ther r9 300 series card depending on where there priced at.

I never trusted Jay. You cant expect him to give an unbiased review when Nvidia is supplying him with 3 Titan X's...

I have had a 390X for almost 6 months now. Not even a SINGLE crash

I think you meant 290x. Also I like the zero fan technology and how far they can overclock.

He actually re-reviewed the tri-x 8gb 290 because the first one was biased.

The first thing that comes to mind is Razer. 

 

Razer and Apple both:

 

  • Have a unique, Identifiable design
  • Sell products for marginally higher prices than competitors
  • And they're both cults
