add Run 5 monitors I_I_I_I_I_I  :D

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

If you ever do that, you've got yourself a keeper :D

i was so close to one...

"so what kind of computer do you have?"

*proceed to take 5 minutes of my time telling her my build specs and give a slight brief overview of what some of the critical components do* "so what kind of computer do you have?"

"an apple one!!!! :D"

*give up*
