CPU upgrade ideas? in Desktops ·
I’d definitely suggest going with the Intel Core i7-3770. It’s just a step up from $367. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother looking at the Intel Core i7-4770K because, at the end of the day, it’s basically the same processor just with a slightly higher clock speed

I guess it might actually be a better move to go with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 ti instead; even though it's technically a bit weaker, it comes with that Arctic cooling setup which I assume would guarantee quieter operation and lower temps overall.

Gaming PC build - around $1,200 budget in Desktops ·
I guess I was looking into the Samsung SH-224DB sat Bulk in black, just thinking about whether it’s still worth picking up for a basic setup. It seems like one of those standard optical drives that doesn't really demand much attention, though I suppose there are plenty of other options out there if you're looking for something more specific.
I suppose we could talk about the Intel Core i7 4770, though I'm not entirely sure what there is to say about it at this stage. It’s an older chip, but I guess it still holds its own if you aren't trying to run anything too demanding by modern standards. It might be fine for basic tasks or some lighter gaming, but maybe don't expect miracles.
I suppose we should probably take a look at the Asus H81-PLUS motherboard.
I was looking at some specs for that Adata DDR3 8GB 1600MHz stick—specifically the AD3U1600C2G11-R—and I guess it’s worth noting for anyone trying to patch together an older build. It's pretty standard stuff, really. If you're just trying to get a legacy machine back on its feet, it might do the job, though I suppose there aren't many reasons to hunt these down unless you're already committed to an older platform.
I was looking at this VC Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 290 4G GDDR5 card with the dual DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort outputs. It seems like a decent option if you can find one in good shape, though I guess it depends on what kind of power supply you're running to handle it.
I suppose I should mention the Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 TB 3.5. It’s a decent enough drive if you aren't looking for anything too fancy, though I guess it depends on what you're actually trying to do with your setup.
I've been looking at the Corsair Carbide Series 200 R Case in Black lately, and I guess there isn't much to say without getting into the weeds. It’s a decent enough chassis if you aren't looking to overcomplicate things, though I suppose whether it actually holds up depends on what kind of build you're planning. It seems fine for a standard setup, but I might be being too cautious.
I guess I’m looking at this Fortress Raider 550W 80+ power supply. It seems like one of those units that might work if you aren't pushing things too hard, but I suppose there are always better options out there depending on what you're trying to build.

I was looking into some consumer credit options recently—specifically comparing Mastercard and Diners Club offerings through Chase—and I figured I’d share my thoughts on how they stack up against each other. It’s a bit of a toss-up depending on what you're actually looking to get out of a line of credit. If you're leaning toward a Mastercard via Chase, you're mostly looking at sheer utility. It’s that reliable, everyday card that works almost anywhere you'd walk into in a major US city. It’s convenient, sure, and the acceptance is basically universal, but sometimes it feels like you're just paying for convenience without getting much back in terms of specialized perks. On the other hand, if you go the Diners Club route, the vibe is a little different. It feels a bit more niche, maybe even a little old-school, but there’s often a specific kind of prestige or specialized reward structure tied to it that might appeal to certain lifestyles. I guess it depends on whether you value that broad, "works everywhere" simplicity or if you want something that feels slightly more curated. I don't have a strong preference either way, but I suppose it really comes down to your spending habits. Maybe one will suit your monthly cycle better than the other, but both have their merits if you know which one fits your specific needs.
+ I suppose I should probably mention the cooler, if we're really going to get into the weeds about this build. It’s one of those things that people tend to overlook until everything starts running hot, which usually happens right when you're in the middle of something important. I guess it might be worth considering how much thermal headroom you actually need, though I'm not entirely sure what everyone else's expectations are here. Maybe it won't make a massive difference, but then again, maybe it will. It's hard to say for certain without knowing the exact load you're planning to run.

Tottenham is heading over to Norway without much of their starting lineup

It looks like Paulinho, Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Sandro, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe, Younes Kaboul, and Emmanuel Adebayor are all staying behind back in London.

On top of those absences, Christian Eriksen is dealing with an ankle issue, Danny Rose has a foot problem, and Harry Kane is sidelined with a back injury.

Since you aren't really planning on overclocking anything, I guess there isn't much point in going with an FX chip or an i5. I went with the i7 because the GPU is pretty powerful, and you probably need a decent processor just to keep up with it, plus using an i7 means you won't have to worry about upgrades for a few years. If you feel like an i7 is overkill, I suppose you could just grab an i5 4570 and a B85 motherboard instead.

I guess it might be better to skip buying another 7770 altogether. Instead, you could just sell what you have right now and put that money toward an HD 7850, an HD 7870, or maybe even a GTX 660—whether you decide to go with something brand new or pick up a used one.

Gaming PC build advice? in Desktops ·
I guess there isn't much to say about the Intel Core I5 3350 p, though I suppose some people might find it worth discussing. It’s a fairly standard piece of hardware, and honestly, depending on what you're trying to do, it might be just enough or maybe not quite enough at all. I don't really have a strong opinion on it, but if you're looking at older setups, it's just one of those things that exists in that middle ground where it functions, but doesn't exactly wow anyone.
I’ve been looking over the specs for this MSI GTX 660 video card, specifically the version with the 2GB of GDDR5 and that 192-bit bus. It's an older piece of hardware, but I suppose there is still some utility to be found in it if you aren't expecting to run anything modern at max settings. I guess it might serve as a decent little placeholder for someone building a budget rig or just trying to get a basic setup running. It’s not exactly cutting-edge by any stretch, but maybe it holds up better than most people would expect for its age.
I was looking at some specs for the KINGSTON ValueRAM DDR3 SDRAM, specifically that non-ECC 8GB kit running at 1600MHz (PC3-12800). It’s an Unbuffered setup with a CL11 latency. I guess it's pretty standard stuff for older builds, though I suppose there isn't much to say about it beyond the basics.
I was looking into the MSI iB75 desktop motherboard recently, and I have to say, it’s an interesting little piece of hardware if you're digging through older components. It sits in that middle ground where it isn't quite cutting-edge anymore, but it still holds some utility depending on what you're trying to build. If you're planning on pairing this up with something like an Intel s1155 Core i5-3470, it'll probably handle basic tasks without much fuss, though I guess modern software might push it harder than we'd like. It’s definitely not going to be a powerhouse for a high-end gaming PC by today's standards, especially if you're hoping to run something heavy like Crysis 3 without any hiccups. Still, for a budget build or a dedicated workstation, it might work out okay, I suppose. I've seen people try to mix and match parts with these older boards, sometimes using an Intel s1155 Core i5-3330 MSI or even an Intel Core I5 3350 p, and while it can be hit or miss, there's usually a way to make it function if you're patient enough with the configurations. Just keep in mind that you won't be getting the kind of performance you'd see with a modern AMD setup or a newer Radeon card. It is what it is—a solid, if somewhat dated, option for specific niche uses.

$1160 I guess the shipping situation is just... what it is. It’s hard to say for sure, but it feels like things aren't moving quite as smoothly as they should be. Maybe there's a delay somewhere in the logistics chain, or perhaps it's just the usual headache you deal with when waiting on a package to arrive. I'm not entirely certain, but it seems like we're all just stuck waiting and seeing how it plays out. $22
I guess there's some kind of discount happening at Walmart today, though I can't say for sure if it's worth the trip. Maybe it's just one of those things where you end up spending more than you planned because the deals look better on paper than they actually are in your cart. I suppose we'll see.
