[DEAD]Newegg Power Supply Deals ($69.99 - $119.99)

Typically as efficiency goes up, build quality goes up. I'm the type of person that likes buying high quality stuff. I'm sure a gold rated supply would be just fine, but I don't mind waiting and paying a little bit more to get something a little better.

[DEAD]Newegg Power Supply Deals ($69.99 - $119.99)

I've been waiting a while for a good deal on a Platinum rated PS. I picked up an EVGA P2 650w 2 years ago for $69.99 AR. I'd love for another one of those to go on sale. I guess the waiting continues.

Red Dead Redemption 2 pushed me over the edge, I think....

Some more fantastic PS4 only games are the Nathan Drake Collection (Uncharted 1-3 remastered), Uncharted 4 and the new Uncharted Lost Legacy. I'm a PC gamer for almost 30 years and can't believe how good some of the PS4 exclusives are.

Your greatest video game moment/accomplishment

Beating Mike Tyson on the NES without getting hit once. I've also played through the game multiple times without getting knocked down. This was back in the 80's when I was still a kid. No way I can do that now.

Please please please Oculus, release a new headset with higher resolution. As much as I love sim racing with CV1, a bump in resolution would be fantastic. Also, I'd love for a higher res Skyrim experience. I may wait for Skyrim VR until Oculus does release one. I have enough invested in the...

Must play PC games before you RIP?

Uhhh....how about you just relax. You can buy the games and rip them onto your computer and use to play them. No because Emulators are not authorized to be run on a PC hardware, hence according to nintendo's legality its illegal. Moderator Aigo

I know this is a PC gaming forum but some of the greatest games ever made are Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 for the Nintendo Wii We do not advocate or tolerate piracy, nor support sailors with beards that goes YAR~ so i have deleted your reference and a soft warning is given. Moderator Aigo

How to download Windows 10 Pro to install with thumb drive with a 2nd machine.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I want to do the same thing with a 2 year old budget laptop that came with Windows 8. I want to change out the 500GB platter drive and throw a leftover 128GB SSD in there and do a completely fresh install of Windows 10. Possible with the download tool?

I can't return it as I've had the Vive for more than 30 days. And no, I did not open it. In fact, I haven't even opened the shipping box. That's what working ~60 hours a week will do to your free time. Pretty sad.

Please critique this 4K/Oculus build

My problem with the motherboard selection is it seems like most of the X99 boards get pretty crummy reviews. If you sort them on Newegg, by highest rating, that ASRock is the highest rated X99 board they sell. What's a big plus is Microcenter stocks it, and it will end up being about $25 cheaper...

Still rocking an i5-2500k with R9 390 on my new 4K display. I will be getting an Oculus Rift when it launches for sim racing and know I'll need flawless 90 fps to make that thing shine. Think it's worth it to dump $350 on this chip with a new motherboard, and can probably recoup $100-$150...

[Dead] PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R9 390 AXR9 390 8GB Videocard = $225 after MIR/code

Anyone that got the Gigabyte deal, get on chat and ask them to take the $50 off. Tell them your order number and supply the IGN390 code. The agent looked into my order, said I already used a $30 off code (10% off, technically), and will give me $20 more back. SWEET! Good luck!

They killed it. I had the card in my cart, about to hit Buy, but decided to jump on chat and wait for 20 minutes to talk to someone to see if they would give me a $50 credit. Now they killed the deal. I would have bought it like I had originally planned. Grrrr!
