    Nerdy:
    • I am a gamer. I also follow fan fiction and other aspects of games I like. I am on both PC and console.
    • I have aspergers and all the things it entails.
    • I am a computer person, I am often asked to fix friends computers and all things electronic.
    • I like to read.
    • I have a lot of random trivial knowledge on random topics. (Aspergers symptom)
    • I wear glasses.
    • I like memes and all things related to the depths of the internet.
    • I like Steampunk.
    • I dress like a computer nerd, nerdy tee's and such.
    • I listen to a **** ton of music, I used to be a music nerd.
    Not nerdy:
    • I have a great social life, despite the above.
    • I am athletic, even though I hate most sports.
    For the most part being nerdy is what defines me, and in a good way.

    Quote from Strottinglemon

    It looks like you got a super high-end video card but a middle end processor, which could bottleneck performance. Try getting a GTX 550 instead and upgrade your processor to an i5.


    550 is horrible price:performance, a 6870/6850 would be a better choice if he was to downgrade the GPU.

    Missed two pages of posts. >.>

    Quote from Lordmax155

    Cannot think, better ask 6 billion people before telling my 'unique' abilities.

    Maybe predict the future by doing something.

    And the ability to make mental images at will.


    Not that special, many people on the spectrum, like my self can do this. (It's a trait in fact, if I remember correctly)

    I don't have a typical, "fear" response to much anymore, what I do have is anxiety which is similar but not the same as fear.

    posted a message on Should i buy a car, build a new PC
    Quote from foil

    Buying a new car is a waste of money as it will loose 1/2 its value in a year...


    Not really, it depends on how the car deprecates. Some hold value fairly well while others drop considerably.

    Quote from Lordmax155

    If he is buying 'over-his-needs' parts for his computer, both would be equal.


    No, not even then, completely overkill parts will only cost you about <7,000 whereas a decent new car will cost >10,000.

    posted a message on Do you participate in any shooting sport?
    Used to do Archery, I could hit a standard target from 100 yards with little wind. (No not an exaggeration, though it may seem like it.) I also played Air-soft and Paintball for a while. Shot 22's with family friends, but am not too interested in normal firearms yet, since I cannot legally own them. I also practiced throwing knives and worked a little with spear/javelins, as far as other target sports go.

    posted a message on How good is this for Gaming?
    Quote from Weaponguy117

    dell is a good company. it provides power with the disadvantage of weight and noise. also, what is wrong with the graphics card? nvedia is one of the best. also, it is dedicated and not integrated. i just play games like Condition zero and minecraft, portal and stuff. not uber high quality games so will this suffice? this is already stretching my budget.


    No, they are not a, "great" company, they are very hit or miss, many of their products being considered the worst price:performance computers of all time. At the same time some of their Latitude and other business series hold some of the best quality and are noted as being nearly indestructible.

    Not really, it is still cheaper to buy parts and assemble it or go with a different brand if we are speaking of laptops, at least at this time. As I have seen Dell's quality dipping greatly recently.

    You aren't really addressing the fact that this exact chipset is not the greatest and seem to think the company, and the chipset, are one in the same.

    Point for you, as that is good.

    Anyway, you should look around, and when we say it sucks, generally it does. You could more than likely find a better deal else where.

    Well we want to know your budget


    Also, it's roughly 1,200 USD, give or take other factors altering conversion.

    posted a message on 8g or 32g Ipod Touch?
    Quote from fm87

    You will be more than fine with 8GB.

    With my 300GB library I am still having trouble finding more than 6-7GB worth of songs I regularly listen to.


    How the **** do you have a 300 GB library? I have a 15,000 plus song library and it is only about 60 GB.

    Quote from Neutren

    -snip-


    This is to much like advertising, you should tone it down, also I wouldn't suggest a 2400 or a 550ti both are pretty poor price:performance.

    If you have a harddrive and a CD drive already, this should work nicely.

    Zero.
    I'm not stupid.


    Yes, and being stupid is the only way to get hurt?

    I totally was being stupid when a random acquaintance kicked me in the hand out of the blue, breaking a bone in the process. >.>

    posted a message on Upgrade Suggestions?
    Slightly above budget and you could move things around but this would give you room to upgrade in the future.

    Subtract 50 for a case if you have one as well.
