Who the hell do you think I am?

Does this look okay so far? I know, lolamd, but I'm just looking for a decent build to start out with.
Oh god, why such a stupid amount of $ on the RAM? And a 560?

I'll put together something better for you, hold on one moment.

Much better build. I threw in 16 gigs just cause you did....although 16 gigs is not necessary at all unless you're doing video editing. You only need 4 at least for games....8 at most.

The only reason why I, personally, have 16 gigs of RAM is cause it was on sale for $55.

It's about the same price as your after discounts and MIR.

Oh cool....you have Bright House? Use to have them....they have some pretty decent internet speeds. Really good customer service too.
Yeah we have Brighthouse. I only average 500 KB/s - 1.3 MB/s though with 6 devices hooked up. :/

I've seen adapters meant for that purpose, although I question a molex plug's ability to adequately control the power usage due to the rail voltage different, so I probably wouldn't overclock with it, but it should run fine.
Molex will deliver just fine. There was a huge build discussion on /g/ the other day and someone asked about that, they'll do give just as much power as you would through the PSU itself.

Spinpoints have a high failure rate, so stick to Seagate and WD.
The 560 is waaaay outdated. Stick with a 7850. Here is a rough comparison.
Dominator RAM? If you're not using Sony Vegas or Adobe Premier, you probably don't need 16GB of RAM. Stick with 8GB.
And you should definitely get an i3 with that budget.
You do realize Spinpoints are made by Seagate, right?

The only ISPs around here that I know of are Verizon and Bright House. Even if there were others around...they suck. Like Cox (I swear it's a real ISP), Times Warner Cable, etc. all suck compared to Bright House....even more when compared to Verizon.

If anything just upgrade your Bright House package.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean they use the same amount of TLC when making them.

I'll admit that I laughed, but that's the Lumia 900, the 920 can say yes to most of those. Including nutritious.

Pleb.

I was more active under Marvelous Bauble because it was tied to my Gamer Tag, but ever since I started getting promotions left and right on superbunnie, I began using this one.

It's primary purpose is CAD and Revit, so gaming is secondary. A nice plus though. I'm definitely gonna game on it.

Thanks for reading my signature!

What do you guys feel/do about backlight bleed? I've been using an Asus VG278 for a bit and people say bleed is normal but its annoying the -blam!- out of me. It intrudes about 2cm's into the screen in a line on each corner, is it normal?

I've been flip flopping between Heroic and Legendary between June to about early December.

It appears to have stuck but I can't be certain.

My Samsung monitor has virtually no backlight bleeding.

Razer announces a mechanical version of their Nostromo for the same price as a full mechanical keyboard, $130.

As well as an updated Razer Onza priced at $80, or $70 is you own an Onza.

I wouldn't ever get anything to do with Razer but are game keypads worth buying? Might buy one in the future depending on what you guys say.
