I'm looking for a budget gaming laptop that can play games like Skyrim and Saints Row 3. No other real requirements besides the budget - maybe 15" screen minimum; it will mainly be used for playing games a couple years behind the current release cycle and I'd like it to last for at least 2 years...
Just wanted to thank everyone again for their help! I'm running off of my new build now (I went with the i5 4670K in the end) and it is working great so far! Stress tests have performed fine and it seems to peak at 72 C under load. Loving it.
Hi all, so I'm building a new desktop and, while I have put all of the components together, I can't get the computer to start-up correctly. When I press the power button, the motherboard (MSI z87-g43) sounds two short beeps (parity error?) and the fans start-up but I don't see anything on the...
I'm building a new system this week and all I have left to purchase are the monitors. I'm looking to buy 3x 23" or 24" monitors and use them to play Guild Wars 2 (MMO) and CS:GO. I've never bought monitors for gaming before so I'm not very picky in this area - I just want to make sure that I'm...
Thanks mfenn and everyone else! Here is my current partlist: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/blackllotus/saved/1LDq. I've only ordered the memory and the case for now because I got good discounts on them. I'm waiting on the other parts until I have my build completely finalized.
I'm below my...
Alright, I've decided to go with the i5 and I'll post a final parts list here soon. I do have another question though, I've decided that I'd like to buy two additional 23" monitors to go with my current one rather than buying one 27" monitor. I'd be running the 23" monitors at 1080p so this...
Thanks for the advice everyone! This is really useful. I have a few questions about what's been posted.
- The build posted by Essence_of_War includes a CPU cooler - is this necessary if I'm not going to overclock? On that note, mfenn mentioned the i5 4670k. The difference between the 4770k and...
Hi all. I'm looking to build a new gaming PC. I primarily play MMOs and my main criteria for my new PC is that I want to be able to play with maximum view distance. I'm fine if the detail isn't "ultra" or w/e but I find that extra view distance greatly enhances my gaming experience so I'd like...
The following looks good: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V3...g_bs_565108_14
Any obvious deficiencies that I'm missing? Battery looks a little weak but I think that is manageable...
I know with that type of budget I can't expect blazing performance but it only needs to do college-level work. A 13" screen minimum is a must but I'm flexible on everything else. Any suggestions? Performance > size so ultrabooks aren't necessary unless the deal is really good.
My previous laptop was a Macbook Pro that is ~3 years old. I love its build but I am kind of balking at spending $2100 to get a new one (that's how much it would cost with a student discount with the components that I want). I will buy it if I cannot find any other options.
For tl;dr see the...
My friend's phone has the worst reception ever and it's impossible to get in contact with him (he doesn't even get reception in his dorm room). He's been talking for a few weeks about getting a Verizon phone but never does. In the meantime, I get calls from people trying to find out where he is...
I don't really understand this claim. Future energy solutions will be much more efficient than using oil. If the author is claiming that we will have to sacrifice some luxury in the short term then he is probably correct, but there is no reason that we cannot eventually become energy independent...
Yes but if there is enough hatred between the sunnis and the shiites to fight for 20-30 years if we leave then I doubt we can stop that in 3-5 years.
I don't actually believe Iraq would fall into 20-30 years of "bloody chaos." There aren't enough motivating factors for sunnis and shiites to...
rchiu, the total savings is not a meaningful number if you don't take into account the time period over which it occurred. For a certain amount of savings to be relevant it should be significant when compared to something like the amount of money a person spends over the time period during which...
This is a silly argument. There is no evidence that plants feel pain and the fact that they don't seem to exhibit any signs of consciousness suggests that they do not feel pain. You're invoking a totally unsupported hypothetical concept.

Will Clinton endure the same crap that Obama has with Wright or will she escape controversy like McCain did with Hagee? I find this whole guilt-by-association process stupid and distracting. Clearly Clinton's association with this man does not imply an endorsement of all...
In response to a massacre of civilians by Iranian nukes we will proceed to massacre Iranian civilians using our nukes because that would make the situation better.
Evolutionary theory does not deal with the origin of life so I don't know why you keep talking about "Spontaneous Generation of Life" in relation to jack's claim that evolution works.
The common theories about how life arose on earth are not scientific fact but that does not automatically...
There are over a billion muslims in the world. I think if "they" (you referred to them as singular) all wanted to kill me then we would have a conflict slightly larger than the war in Afghanistan.
