SSD and my 7850. I know the 2GB 7850 is fairly low end but it was a big set up from a 1GB DDR3 6570!

errything. i research and think about what im buying months before i buy it mostly unless is an obvious purchase. i have OCD and have to spend it wisely as i dont earn enough to go blowing it.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!
