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).

Well, NVIDIA is clearly better than AMD because green means go while red means stop.

 

Idiot.

CompTIA is fraud.

 

The amount of RAM allows you to have more FPS. (He was talking about... STORAGE DRIVE RAM)

 

Linux is for hipsters. (I screamed inside).

 

Old people can't learn computers. 

 

Windows is the best operating system... (WHICH WINDOWS! I can think of 12 Windows Versions right now!)

 

Linux is assholes who want to be different.

 

Donald Trump is probably gonna help tech.

 

AMD is still a company?

A few days ago while choosing my CPU:

 

*sees that in the store there's no CPU that's compatible*

- You need a better motherboard, your motherboard is old (2 years old... Haswell.)! - said my dad 

Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux

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.

It was worth it just due to the fact I can turn it into an audio spectrograph.

I'll admit I'm an asshole and that I like to go against the flow, but none of that had anything to do with why I went to Linux.  I just didn't make any sense to pay for windows when my homework revealed that Linux could meet all my needs at least as well as windows.  Whoever said that just sounds butthurt that other people didn't choose the exact same things he did.

My friend bought a pc from his "friend" who is a boutique builder. He got an fx 3802e... because why not... He could easily get an i5 6500...

Well, the 8320 isn't bad in GPU extensive games with a decent GPU.  However, once they go single thread and more CPU extensive that's where you will notice the difference.

Yep exactly. But the price difference was negligible. So why not get an i5 when he doesn't even know why a multi core cpu is good? he will never ever stream or do any multitaskign that would benefit an 8 core...

had a guy think that the FX9590 is faster than a 5960x cause it has overclocked cores

 

 

 

obviously it is faster because it has higher numbers and even an F in it...

I have a friend that build a PC and he told me that his PC is not posting, I talked to him for 10 minutes until I found out he put his HDMI cable into his motherboard. Before this I did not know motherboards have HDMI ports, so I learned something too.

Looking at its total value versus NVDA and INTC, that is a legitimate question right now. 

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

no it is not bad. But it would have been better in my opinion to get the i5 as he will never ever do anything other than gaming...

They kinda don't though. 

 

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

"They kinda don't though"

 

I get an average of 50-80 macs a year.

 

Granted, not much compared to the hundreds of windows computers, but still.

 

Also, Apple doesn't have security software, they have a naturally secure OS. (That they've made more vulnerable).
