Advice for buying a gaming PC! in Desktops ·
Thank you,
but I still have a few more questions.

1 x xfx 480 GTR AMD Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 8GB/256bit, 1338MHz/8000MHz, PCI-E 3.0 x16, HDMI, DVI, 3xDP, DD 2X cooler LED(Double Slot), Backplate, 3+2 Warranty, Retail

and
1 x SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 480 NITRO+ OC GDDR5 8GB/256bit

which of these two graphics cards is superior? (And by how much?)

Additionally, I am curious
how much weaker is this
1 x Intel Core i5-6402P (2.8GHz, 6MB, LGA1151) box
processor compared to this one:
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5 6500 (3.2 GHz)

1 x Fortron Hyper 600W, 80+ - 60mj.

Total: $2225

Wouldn't this be a better option:
1.
Intel Skylake i5 6400 3.3 GHz LGA1151
Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB DDR5
RAM 8GB DDR4 2133
http://prnt.sc/daubbq
$2017, plus RAM $166=$2184

for roughly the same price??

Should I go with Konfa 2 or Konfa 5?
Given the $80 difference, would it really be worth it?
In other words, is it a significant upgrade?
My goal is to run The Witcher 3 on maximum settings.

I don't have much experience putting together PC builds.

It’s definitely worth watching ☕

What an absolute clown. GG WP.
We should probably secure this win with ease.
Looking for a specialist... in Health ·
I am currently looking for a private clinic in the vicinity of Indianapolis, Virovitica, or Bjelovar where I might schedule a comprehensive physical exam.
I did some digging on Google, but I only managed to find two:
Baturina
i Emma.

I also have a quick question on the side,
Can I get a systemic review covered by Medicare?
Or perhaps, what if I already have supplemental health insurance through them?
I am not particularly well-versed in this matter, so I would be quite grateful if someone could lend me a hand. 🙂

$5.00 I installed a new battery, and everything is working perfectly now.
Thank you.

What's wrong with him? in IT Support ·
I power up my PC, let it run for maybe three or four minutes, and then it just restarts itself without warning.
It starts the boot process, but then it gets stuck right at the beginning.
So, I try to restart it manually.
All I get is a black screen—nothing at all.
I try another restart.
Then this pops up: View on imgur
I’ve tried hitting F1 or F2, but there's absolutely no response.
Another restart, and it's back to a completely black screen.
What on earth could have gone wrong here?
What bugs you about this forum? in Miscellaneous ·
The trolls can be quite bothersome, though I make a sincere effort to steer clear of them.
Random acts of kindness? in Miscellaneous ·
I have to admit, I’m a bit surprised,
85 views and only one reply. 😲

Perhaps we could expand on this topic a little;
has anyone else experienced an unexpected act of kindness recently?

A few months ago, I went to pick up a background check from a local government office. A woman and I both handed over our paperwork and prepared to wait. Suddenly, the clerk looks at us and says, "I see neither of you are locals, so let me hand this to my colleague right now to expedite the process so you don't have to sit around."
I ended up receiving my clearance in just a few minutes, even though I could have easily been waiting for over three hours.
Kudos to that man. 👍

Watching this video really got me thinking about the last meaningful thing I did for someone else and how long ago that actually was.

It eventually occurred to me that a few weeks back, I picked up a kid who had pulled over on the side of the road and gave him a ride to school. It was pouring rain, and he didn't have a jacket or an umbrella; I just couldn't bear the thought of him getting soaked.

What about you all? What small kindnesses have you performed lately?
I can't say I'm satisfied with how things turned out,
we really should have taken first place!

Why can't we all just return to the way things used to be, where everyone was content and satisfied?

Perhaps we should consider removing Countess from this subforum entirely, given her apparent lack of moderation skills—and, frankly, her lack of authority.

mellowraven22 said:Not necessarily, because someone browsing the web via their smartphone can simply choose to view images while skipping the GIFs. If everything is contained within a single thread, that specific option isn't available. Alternatively, one could simply post GIFs as links instead.

That seems like a weak argument to me. Of course I wouldn't bother scrolling through an entire image-heavy thread while on my phone; I’d just quote from another topic. Once I get home to my PC, I can take my time and actually enjoy all the pictures properly.

This particular thread has already surpassed 3,000 replies, yet suddenly, GIFs are being prohibited? People visit this subforum specifically for this topic to have some fun, and what we are experiencing right now is anything but entertaining. 👎

Furthermore, I find the repeated deletion of posts quite troubling—posts that weren't even off-topic and were perfectly relevant to the discussion.

That looks wonderful.
I am truly looking forward to seeing this movie on the big screen.
This is a fascinating topic,
In my experience, I’ve had similar episodes—I actually think there were two instances in a single night, though I can't recall the exact timing.
It happens while I'm asleep; I suddenly feel this intense weight on my chest, a crushing pressure that feels like it's suffocating me. The strangest part is that I remain fully conscious of everything, yet I find myself unable to wake up. I know deep down that I am sleeping, and I try so hard to break free. The first attempt fails, the second fails, and it’s only on the third try that I finally manage to pull myself back to consciousness.

Everything felt fine after that was over. 🙂
