Let's be real here... aside from that scoundrel and the princess, our comedy shows are absolute bottom-of-the-barrel trash.

Gitak is pretty much a forgotten name at this point, especially since the younger crowd doesn't even know who he is.

When it comes to handball, it’s the exact same story every single time. Our guys win a few games in a row and suddenly the headlines are all over the place—it’s the same old script. "We're going for gold!" "We look better than ever!" "We're ready for anything!" Everyone gets carried away, the hype hits a fever pitch, and then... boom. A total collapse, and we're right back to square one.

Did his mom give him the whole rundown on the tattoo too?

And did he finish off his shift by running the company $75k into the red?

Look, it’s totally fine if you're moving a little slow on this. There's zero shame in it. We're all here to help you out.

Why did I even click on that video above? Now YouTube is going to be shoving that idiot into my recommendations for weeks. Wasn't he on some reality show or something?

You really need a little bitter taste to wash it down

I'm rocking a 1080p monitor right now and honestly, I don't see myself upgrading it anytime soon because it does the job perfectly. My plan is just to drop a GTX 1660 6GB into my rig later on. For what I need, that’s more than enough.

I honestly don't see the point in picking up a 1050 Ti right now. My plan is to grab an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and just roll with it for a couple of months. I'll stick to some lighter titles for a while, then finally buy a real GPU because I refuse to settle for anything less than a 1060. Once that's done, I'll look into upgrading my CPU if I need to.

Nice! I have to admit, I had no idea about this shop before. Their prices are actually really solid—thanks for the heads-up! 🙂 From what I can tell, most of their gear is about 50-$33 cheaper than the big-box retailers I was browsing online earlier today.

Do they generally offer discounts? I noticed they have a deal on RAM if you pay cash, so does that apply to other components too? Also, is that total figure you posted including discounts, or should I be counting on some kind of cash discount to make it even cheaper?

Btw, I guess you could probably put together a 1600X plus an R9 380 from some old stock for about $1233. You’d likely see much better frame rates in games, and the processor would be a bit more powerful, too.

That sounds like too much of a headache for me. I'd much rather just go with the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G for now and then just grab a beefier graphics card like a 1060 down the road.

Upgrading the CPU later is easy when it costs less than swapping out everything else. $3500 is my absolute hard limit, and what you listed above comes out to roughly $3100 total, which fits my budget perfectly right now.

Hey there!

I’m looking for some advice on putting together a build based around an Intel Core i3-8100. Money is pretty tight right now, so I can only swing about $1167 max. Is it even possible to build something decent with that budget? I already have an SSD and an HDD ready to go, so I just need the motherboard, RAM, CPU, case, and power supply. It would be great if the case had a slot for an optical drive, too.

From what I've read online, the Radeon graphics on this chip are actually pretty solid. I don't need anything crazy right now—I can definitely hold out playing Skyrim or DiRT Rally for a few months.

The plan is to pop in a dedicated graphics card in maybe 3 or 4 months. With that in mind, should I be picking out a specific power supply now? I'm thinking a GTX 1060 or maybe an RX580 would be a good target later on. Would a 500W PSU work, or is 450W enough?

I have a rough idea of the parts I want, but all the fine details are tripping me up—stuff like bottlenecks, making sure the power supply can handle a future GPU upgrade, and all that.

I'll be paying cash, so I don't care which store I use. It doesn't have to be everything from one place, though that would be easier.

Thanks in advance!

I’m going to call out anyone who uses sports as a platform to push their political agendas. It’s honestly exhausting. Especially when it’s as pathetic as those statements from Zlatko Dalić during the tournament. Those little tributes to "defenders" or "the underprivileged" after a win? Total cringe.

And even less politics, I guess.

Honestly, I have no clue how you all address each other when you're grabbing a beer at the pub, turning right at the intersection, or heading to the convenience store to grab a lottery ticket. Half of you swapped political affiliations back in the day when everything shifted from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to the Republican Party, so... it's a bit confusing, man. Forgive me.

Anyway, why didn't you tell them? Davor Šuker and his crew aren't exactly known for being sentimental about anniversaries. They only care about counting their dollars.

I'll say it again... you're in the wrong subforum. Most of your posts belong in Politics. You should've gone over there to ask that; this isn't really the spot for it.

Look, man, this isn't the politics subforum.

They can't do it because it's just not fair to their non-smoking colleagues. Honestly, it would be fine if they just sat in the back on a stool or an old crate where they aren't bothering anyone. That way, they stay out of the camera shot too. It’s just a matter of hygiene.

Because grammar and basic social etiquette have changed quite a bit since you were sitting in a classroom.

Man, you're delusional. Who in their right mind would wear used sneakers that smell like someone else's sweat? For crying out loud.

So, can I go with used ones?

It wasn't him. His haters in the American establishment just ordered it that way.

Alright, listen up, you Vettel fanboys. Is this guy ever actually held responsible for anything?

Isn't it a little embarrassing how you blame absolutely everything else? You point fingers at the pit wall, the pit crew, the tires, the weather, bad luck, the car setup, the strategy, the other drivers, even his own teammates. It’s always someone else's fault.

Are we ever going to see you admit that your golden boy actually screwed something up on his own?

Sebastian Vettel doesn't need any trash talk.

He’s more than enough of his own worst critic. ☕
