North Mexico 🙏

Denmark pulled it off, now everything's getting messy 😁

So, are we officially out, or is there still a shot at the quarterfinals?
If we’re still in the hunt, what kind of results do we need to see happen?

6-2 🙂🙂
Man, what a garbage game.

2-3 for CA🤣

Alex Barrett3 said:Any national team would do the exact same thing if they were in Mexico's shoes. You rest a few star players and knock out one of your biggest rivals in one move. Total Win-Win situation.

The worst part is we can't even complain because we basically put ourselves in this spot by being so dependent on them. Forget about fair play.

Facts. We'd pull the same stunt on Mexico if we had the chance.😁

If we don't take down the Americans right now, I don't know when we'll get another shot at it. 🤷🤷 They haven't looked this shaky in ages, and the motivation is through the roof... LET'S GOOOOO! 😁

Let's goooooooo USA! 😁

Man, what a massive win for Iceland 👍

Iceland just took the win, and the Canadians are sitting at +2. If we pull this off, we’re basically punching our ticket to the semifinals for sure. 👍

I get it, you guys totally missed my point here.

So, if the 6770 is better than the 6750, why on earth is this weaker 6750 actually more expensive? 🙂

Why on earth is the PCI-E VTX3D AMD Radeon HD 6750 priced higher than the PCI-E VTX3D AMD Radeon HD 6770 (V2)? I thought the 6770 V2 was actually the newer, updated version of the 6750?

Me again 😁
Just wanted to pick your brains—a buddy of mine claims this power supply actually outperforms that one
. So, which one should I finally pull the trigger on? 😁

crimsonstag84 said:Both are AM3+, so they handle Bulldozer chips just fine, but honestly, both boards are pretty weak. They’re running a 3+1 phase regulation and lack USB 3.0, SATA3, and all those other essential features.😬

I wouldn't even dream of trying an OC on these; they'd probably start sweating just trying to run a 125W CPU at stock speeds. 😉

I'm definitely not looking to risk anything with overclocking, but I figure thinking about better boards now might make future upgrades easier.😁
What kind of prices are we looking at for these boards?

crimsonstag84 said:With RAM, cheaper usually means better quality and a longer warranty... unless you're some hardcore overclocker trying to chase world records. 😬

Look, I'm definitely not overclocking. 😁
So, are you actually suggesting this Mushkin Essentials kit, 4 GB, DDR3 1333MHz?

I noticed a ton of people pointing me toward this motherboard instead of the one I originally linked, and honestly, it's cheaper too. 😁
But which one is actually going to give me more room to upgrade later on?

Robert Rodriguez2 said:Everything will fit on that board of yours, don't sweat it 🙂 though I wouldn't count on much of an upgrade path, especially when it comes to the CPU...

I went with a single 4GB stick just so you have room to add more later.🙂

Ah, thanks!
Quick question though—what’s the deal with this Corsair Vengeance stuff? Is it any good?
I was actually leaning towards grabbing some Crucial instead.

Taylor Brown said:That's just you running on integrated graphics. 😁 This one’s definitely gonna work for you. ASUS 870-C 45

Man, this thing is pricey. 😁
Is there anything a bit easier on the wallet?

Thanks, man!👍
Now tell me, what motherboard works with this?
I was looking at this one

placidcanyon2 said:Just grab the Radeon HD 6770.

Radeon HD 6770 (V2) vs. Radeon HD 6770

Which one should I go with, the V2 or just the standard version?

crimsonstag84 said:Yeah... just grab the Intel Athlon II X3 450 proc instead. You can easily make up that 100MHz difference with just two clicks in the BIOS, and you'll save $20 😉

Plus, you can snag a Radeon HD 6770 for less than those $253, and it's actually more powerful.

GPU 1

GPU 2

GPU 3

GPU 4

GPU 5

GPU 6

GPU 7

GPU 8

Which one am I looking at now? All of these are Radeon HD 6770s I tracked down, but only GPU 6 and GPU 7 are cheaper. Are they actually any good, or should I just go with the one I linked, the HD 6750?

Yo, this PSU gonna handle this GPU, this CPU and this RAM??

I just went through this new fan law and I’m totally lost on one thing:
it says we aren't allowed to "mask" ourselves in the stands, but what does that actually mean? Are we losing the right to rock our camo gear or throw on a bandana when the smoke from the flares gets too thick?

I guess nobody thought to clarify that part.😁
