Quote from BAMBO :

Do Latvians really have to take every post they see literally and spark a debate over the most minor reasons?

Yes.

Quote from Racer Y :

Sorry kids. But it seems like Mr. X here is a little behinds the times. Who cares about another foriegner running over decent God-fearing Americans? Hell it happens here just about every weekend. Only most of the time they don't stop. That's so ... who cares?
You need to be hip with hoodies, skittles and how the hell Zimmerman got 250k in paypal accounts if you wanna hang out with the cool kids that bash Americanistas.

Do Americans really have to struck that God thingy in every post they write? I don't see how it's related at all in this case.

Oh well, just 1 month left and I'll be absent from them forever (finals)

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

E.Reiljans, the 180 dollar 2500k looks kinda weird, you can't even get it in that money if it was in euros, in Estonia it's 191€, now put that in dollars, FX-6200 is 147€.
2500k In the same page as FX-6200 you gave, is $235.66.

Not that big difference, but if you are doing a budget build, that's a huge difference.


Here's a 190$ AMD cpu from a more reliable page.

and the 2500k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ ... 16819115072&Tpk=2500k

It still doesn't matters because even FX-8120 doesn't comes close to 2500K in performance.

Quote from bmwe30m3 :

Well, this still is a budget build, so put together a intel-based system with around the same or greater performance, and tell me the price.

Most high-performance applications (Photoshop, 3DS Max, Vegas, et cetera) are compiled using Intel C++ Compiler, which enables bunch of significant optimizations if app is being executed on a Intel CPU. Benchmarking apps, on the other hand, are not. So even if some AMD CPU comes close to similarly-priced Intel CPU in a benchmark, it'll still suck in real life usage scenarios.

Oh, by the way, $180 i5-2500K is faster than $190 AMD FX-6200
in both single-threaded and multi-threaded benchmarks.

And the TSA rang and said their looking for people just like you, I told them to PM you

Thanks, I could do with such a nice job - keeping people like you out of the Land of the Free. Would they provide me with a working visa of US?

Pretty much my thought.

So, 7.5 years working in Amerikas equivilent of an asian sweatshop for a traffic violation, and most people, well Amerikans anyway, thought slavery was dead and gone.

blah blah retarded junk

It's "America", not "Amerika". How can you claim you know so much about governments being "evil" and stuff, if education you received hasn't even made you capable of writing so simple word properly, without any grammatical mistakes?

Despite this happening,

Racer X, what the F is "Amerika"?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

You are such a curmudgeon these days!

I am tempted by SSDs like anybody else is, but I don't want one - I'm after a cheap enough gaming PC that can run Skyrim, BF3, Civ 5, and then I can complain that they're all the same old crap warmed up and go back to sulking.

Actually maybe I should just buy a console.

Are you only planning to use PC for gaming?
Because games don't benefit from SSDs very much, while everything else does.

post of Kid222

For SSD I'd recommend Samsung 830 series, Intel 520 series, Crucial m4 and OCZ Vertex 4.
For CPU, GPU etc, what Matrixi said.

Quote from e2mustang :

hmm.. than why car manufacturers went from timing belts to use gear driven camshafts?

Yes, to make sure car breaks down as soon as it's warranty period expires.

</sarcasm>On the serious note - you can't compare chinese plastic gears used in chinese Logitech wheels to proper metal gears used in cars.

Quote from heson :

Logitech wheels have many problems because they have many users. I have no reliable source on how many g27 have been sold but they are surely magnitudes more than any other premium wheel. Therefore a lot more problems, and a lot more complaints in forums etc. Maybe there are more problems with Logitech wheels that other but I doubt it, but the important point with my post is that you need better statistics than frum flames to decide.

(Mine have worked well until I have worn them out, no strange problems like alignment etc)

Another reason why Logitech wheels have more problems is because they use more failure-prone technology - for example, belt drive (used on Fanatec wheels) is way less likely to break than gear drive (used on Logitech wheels).
