I seem to love drives... I think I've bought every NVMe M.2 that's come out since two years ago.

Are you also a Master of Nu'un?

 

Edit: It's a reference.

Jesus christ that is a niche reference to a DS game I've never heard of

Building a good pc should be on there, like if someone says i have a $500 budget, i could build them one of the best pcs for $500

[straight_stewie]

I selected GPU because it matched closely, but my area of most expertise is actually the PCIe bus in general.

Expert in everything with the color blue in it...

Yep, though I do have job experience in setup of basic server setup and administration, basic Cisco router and switch configs, and setup of Level 3 Communication ground satellites (though, those are pretty much point until strong beep then call).  Compare to our unit's tech, I'm still hanging around him to learn the troubleshooting skills.

i couldnt budget another $60 for the 6gb, and 3gb is enough for most games youd being doing on this pc

[JoostinOnline]

I'm not really sure how to reply to this. I'm a computer technician. I fix computers. I'm pretty good at my job (and you can't prove I'm not!), but I can't say I really shine above everything else in one particular area.

 

I can tell you I suck at networking though. ?

I would assume the same reason it's not a 3 way 1080 SLI

I've got basic server setup and admin skills but nothing of your sort. I'm just 14 though so I don't mind, but I eventually want to get into it hahaha

That's vague enough to stir up some commotion...

[Lays]

Why is overclocking not an option

[KurtB]

22 years software development, first foray into building my own machine in almost that long

[2FA]

If I had to pick something, it's probably troubleshooting. My boss has had me troubleshoot quite a few issues that we've had that he spent weeks and sometimes months trying to figure out and I typically figure it out within a week, sometimes the same day.

[handymanshandle]

I know some stuff about the softwares, but I'd say that there's nothing in particular that I excel in but I'm willing to research for things if I can't seem to figure it out on my own.

Not bad, always best to pick it up at a young age.

I may seek to pick your brain about this sometime soon.  I've been thinking about getting an NVME M.2 SSD to see what all the fuss is about.
