you can have perfectly good aesthetics without rgb lighting. 

Yes. You can. Just take the time and find the right parts that match each other. 

 

Like I did. Ive got the Asus ROG Z170 Impact board, with the GSkill Trident Z Ram. 

It's red, silver and black. 2 different companies, make 2 different parts that look good together. 

 

RGB lighting is for accents and showing off. Ive had it before, and I can't do it ever again. Although those magnetic RGB LED strips might entice me.

Not a idiot, but it still pissed me off:

 

guy decided, rather than lower his graphics settings, to lower his resolution to 1680x1050

at least its not 640x480 with the UI taking up literally half of the display...

Ohh!

between me, my dad, brother and stepmom, there are 12GB VRAM

 

another 1.5GB VRAM in an OEM 660 on my desk

.75 GB in a GTX 8600

 

do we count SSD storage?

SSD is memory by a lot of "techies", so let's count that in!

Athlon X2 for only 27.31$   Best part lists at different price points   Windows 1.01 running natively on an Eee PC

My rig:

Celeronator (new main rig)

CPU: Intel Celeron (duh) N2840 2.16GHz Dual Core

RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz

HDD: Seagate 500GB

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 Series

Spoiler

Frankenhertz (ex main rig)

CPU: Intel Atom N2600 1.6GHz Dual Core

RAM: 1GB DDR3-800

HDD: HGST 320GB

GPU: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3600

Apple has some of the best security software out there, it is hard to infect a mac, you have to actually try. 

because there's less people trying, because there's less to infect.

 

have we forgotten that 30K apple devices botnet from a while back? xD

Peripherals are one thing, but i=I believe a good looking, durable case is important. 

 

If it is the difference between a 6600k and a 4690k, I'll go Haswell for the better case

Yep and I wouldn't have any issue with that - I could have upgraded my I7 4790k to a i7 6700k, but chose to spend the money on some headphones I didn't need. There simply isn't enough of an increase in performance for me to justify the cost of a whole new motherboard, and matching DDR4 RAM that would need to accompany the processor.

My point is that it is significantly harder.

Some people prefer that, it's not objectively wrong or stupid.

Only bad thing I've ever heard/experience was something who blindly support Nvidia and trashed on AMD purely over the brand. No idea how to compare GPUs or what makes on better over another (therefore any opinion was disregarded).

Gaming - Ryzen 5800X3D | 64GB 3200mhz |  MSI 6900 XT | Mini-ITX SFF Build

Home Server (Unraid OS) - Ryzen 2700x | 48GB 3200mhz |  EVGA 1060 6GB | 6TB SSD Cache [3x2TB] | 66TB HDD [11x6TB]

I mean TECHNICALLY it is "Faster" because it has a higher base clock. 

 

Processor speed being a measure of GHz.

The ridiculous amount of times I've seen people state that an RGB Keyboard is necessary. 

 

 

I have an rgb keyboard but only run it in all red mode. No ragrets.

I admit I run mine mainly with plain white lights only, prefer it that way.

 

When I tried the Division it offered a profile for the game, so I tried it and it went apeshit with all sorts of lighting. That was kinda fun tbh.

Plenty, plenty not only from young builders.

 

"Where do I download more ram for minecraft?"

 

"Imgur gave me a virus, don't link me that site!!11" - (? How)

 

"What's your antivirus?" -> "None lololol" (14y old neightbours son) After his mom called me to fix their -slow- computer.

 

"They ripped me off, they didn't gave me the ide cables with the mainboard" 50y old dude. Smh he should be forgiven..

 

-Usb stick is broken!- Only to find it forcefully inserted into the ethernet port. 

 

"Monitor has snowflake issues" Not used a dvi to vga.. Well I've been there... <.<

Mainly the usual facepalm stuff you see when browsing the InterWebs.

 

"Will this RAM upgrade help get more FPS?"

"I don't know much about computers yet, but I'm thinking of buying a $2000 gaming rig"

"Is my HDMI cable a bottleneck when I play CS:GO?"

"I want to get more than my current 300fps in Minecraft"

"My computer caught fire but it went out, should I be worried?"
