I’m jealous of that slim face structure on him

That’s one beautiful man.

I laugh everytime Jason, everytime. It is a good read too btw.

Yo, this made me laugh too god damned hard. I might have to buy the book now.

I’m about halfway through this and it’s a great read. You did a fantastic job writing it.

never pass up a nice bit of self-promotion (and everyone who plays games should read your book it was wonderful jason!)

I did it. I got an M.2 for free (daily holiday deal) and used a 5% off coupon code that worked. Ended up with an 8700k, GTX 1080, 850 watt EVGA PSU, 2 TB HDD, 256GB WD Blue M.2 SSD, 240mm Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB CPU cooler, MSI Gaming Pro Carbon MB, and their cheapest RAM option (I bought some separately) for $1559

I wish I had a book that also worked as a response to questions. (Great book too!)

Smooth.

Shhhh, that goes against the outrage narrative that gets precious views on youtube. Not that some outrage isn’t justified. The whole Battlefront II debacle is an example where people were rightly angry. But I’m interested to see what Anthem does even if it doesn’t really seem like my kind of game. I’d be willing to

A YouTube video with nearly 900,000 views titled “Why Anthem Should Scare You | Has EA Destroyed Bioware?” just miiiight be the type of thing that the second-to-last paragraph of this article is talking about.

Okay, well this answers my question. Thanks!

Yep, pre-built is a good option right now. Kotaku’s Cecilia D’Anastasio picked this one up last year and I did a short time later as well after comparing parts on PCPartPicker.com

This is a great time to wait to buy anything. Besides the video card fiasco, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wait for the next gen Intel chip that would hopefully address Meltdown/Spectre in hardware and not lose 10% performance to a software fix.

This. I was planning on building a rig but the prices were too insane. I got the following for $750 in a pre-built:

That’s actually not a bad idea. Pre-builds are fine if you’re going for low or mid-end machines, but until this inflation kicked in, high-end machines were usually better off being done personally. With things the way they are, it’s definitely starting to look like this is the way to go, and at the very least, you

Wow, maybe I’ll look into this. I bought a second 1080 a while ago, but never really ran anything that required SLI. Now the 2nd card is just relegated to mining (which it would take about 6 months to pay for itself). Selling the card at a profit seems like a better option.

Just throwing this out there, but if you go for a prebuilt rig on, say, CyberPowerPC, the GPU’s are still at suggested retail price. Basically meaning that if you had been planning to scratch build an entire rig, it would actually be cheaper to get a prebuilt one for the time being. I’m honestly considering doing it
