Mexican coke and Cuban cigars

why should cigars from a store in cancun not be the real thing? it´s not like they´re being embargoed in mexico. it has to be the cuban state company cohiba, i think there are none else for export

PSU wattage

looks nice :) i don´t think the paste issue is a problem just be carefull, should you ever remove the cpu from the socket it might be stuck because of it (like glue between socket and cpu) if so, don´t lever it out with a knife, happened to me -> 4 pins cut off :(

the diamond looks exactly like the sapphire dual x that i have, which is very quiet and cool (>70°C) maybe it´s anther brand from sapphire themselves (for different market? price?), if so, i think it´s a good buy sapphire is amd´s closest partner for custom cards, similar to evga and nvidia

the r9 270x should be better than gtx660 this particular comparison also suggests, the 270x would oveclock better and be much quieter (gtx660 being reference card) gtx 760 is about the same as 270x, maybe a littte faster, i´d consider r9 270 the better deal this sees the 270x even in front a tad...

i´d stick to the fx 6300, too if you upgrade that, go intel, but i don´t think it´s necessary with any luck, there might be another generation of cpus coming for socket am3+ mobos, that might be worth an upgrade then (i´m hoping for it) i´d wait until then, if it doesn´t come, you can still go...
