And here we go again, the bullshit is starting up once more...

Benjamin King2 said:Just grab an XFX 450 w and you'll be fine... it's pretty obvious you're dealing with some cheap no-name power supply here.

Look, I was asking about the graphics card, so obviously the power supply choice depends on whatever GPU I end up picking.

Benjamin King2 said:Look, don't be lazy, man. Just open up the case and check the label on the power supply to see the actual brand and model, because just seeing "500W" doesn't tell you anything useful about the quality. 🙂

I'm telling you, I read it word for word—it says ATX 500W P4, so I guess "ATX" is supposed to be the model or something. Beyond that, there’s absolutely nothing else written on it.

Benjamin King2 said:So what kind of power supply are you running in your rig right now?

It's literally right there in my first post—it's an ATX 500W P4.

@Ryan Hayes82/">@@Ryan Hayes82 Look, if he's mostly playing Call of Duty 2, he isn't even going to touch multi-core performance anyway, and honestly, a single core on an E8400 is way more powerful than what you get from a Q6600, plus the price tag on that is just ridiculous. Even if we're talking about having more cores available to work with, the Q6600 is going to have a really hard time ever catching up to that Core2Duo, especially since that thing overclocks like a total beast 🙂

Anyone got any other suggestions? Just so we aren't staring at a single option here. 😁

Hey everyone.

I just managed to scrape together some extra cash (around $300) and I’m looking to give my rig a much-needed upgrade.

Here’s what I’m rocking right now:
CPU - Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0 GHz 2
2 GB DDR2 RAM
320 GB WD HDD
Power Supply - 500W ATX
Motherboard - MSI P45 Neo MS-7519
GPU - ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512 MB
Monitor - AOC F22+

Obviously, since I'm posting here, the GPU is the first thing on my list to swap out. Most of my time is spent playing Call of Duty 2—I really need better FPS, and I'd also love to be able to actually launch a newer game once in a while without everything crawling. I also use it to watch movies and shows. On top of that, I'd really like to save enough left over to grab a new hard drive, because my current one is constantly maxed out and I'm basically fighting a losing battle with storage space every single day.

Thanks.

And that’s how we put points on the board... 😁

Even that absolute hack managed to pull off a save there... the ball almost carried him straight into the back of the net 🙏

Honestly, if this wasn't a complete joke, it would be straight-up tragic... I mean, look at those goalies playing together in the second half. It’s like neither defense even exists—not ours, not theirs. The whole game is just a mess; you can't even tell who's actually running the show anymore.

But seriously, how many steps did that guy from Iceland take to make it 33-31?

And here we go again with the absolute panic... good grief.

Kopljar absolutely crushed it

That's it... what an absolute joke of a game..

If this actually ends in a tie, I am literally going to die laughing...
There aren't even enough words in the English language to describe how ridiculous this situation is.. 🙏🙏

Here we gooooooo

hahaha holy crap, what an absolute beauty of a goal from Zrnica 🙏

Just two damn differences... for Christ's sake...

Beautiful... they actually have an attack that can pull this back to a tie... everything was going so perfectly fine until now 🙂

Man, we are actually showing up for once... but honestly, Buntic and his fancy footwork 👍 ...
we really botched the start of this one..

That's The Point. 😉
Man, this exact thing has been posted seven times in the last three days alone, and someone even dropped it right here on this thread just yesterday. 😛

Unbelievable. Seriously, where on earth did you even find this?

Sadly, I missed the game, but word on the street is we played some solid handball, so congrats to the guys on the win.
I can't shake this feeling that they always seem to play completely against what everyone expects from them. 🙂
First it's the Danes, where we tell ourselves it’s gonna be a grind against the Argentinians and then we end up getting blown out by 18. Then we get all cocky because we crushed those tough Argentinians and think the Swedes won't give us any trouble, only to have them run us over, and now we're here dealing with this whole thing with Poland.

4 massive gaps against the Swedes... looks like it's basically over.. that guy in the midfield just completely lost his mind 😁
