Just get a real job!

You can buy pretty much anything for that much.
(04-05-2014, 03:09 AM)NaturalViolence Wrote:Actually, 5850 is the absolute maximum I could make in a job I got from this program, if I work all day every day all summer long. More realistically, I'd probably make ~$3500-4000. The rest isn't actually going towards alcohol, it's going towards things like the "Get Dan a new chair that doesn't mess up all of his recordings" fund, and the "Get Dan new audio stuff that isn't terrifying" fund.kinkinkijkin Wrote:once you take away the rest of the $5850 to account for drinking.
How the fuck are you going to spend that much on alcohol? Are you going to be drinking nothing but wine from the 1950s?

Canadian problems. Come to the tropics. We have stable temperatures and lots of mosquitoes.

I would ask you to reconsider that restriction. People have a right to recommend you an AMD GPU if it is deemed better for your needs. Unless you have a specific need for nvidia GPUs (which if that is the case you need to elaborate on this) AMD GPUs are better suited to your needs since you plan on using dolphin.

I have no idea what this means.

You set your budget at 2900CAD and you expect people not to recommend you the best cpu for what your trying to do which is easily affordable within those constraints? You would have to be criminally stupid not to recommend the 4670K under this scenario.

Well....what did you expect? Obviously if better cpus come out you'll want to reevaluate your choices.

No. And if there was you wouldn't want it.

I've seen this poor CPU go from loading 29c to idling 35c in the summertime, so it's a bit of a concern for higher-end hardware.kinkinkijkin Wrote:If anything, though, I plan to REDUCE the stock clock a little bit, so that it doesn't get as hot.
That serves absolutely no benefit and will reduce your performance.

I provided myself with what he forgot, so it's better now.kinkinkijkin Wrote:Excess, when it comes to PSUs, is actually better, unlike most things in a computer (but you probably already knew that, didn't you?). To me, the farther I go above the computer's max pull with the PSU, the better. Especially after my bout with cheap, golden PSUs with "550w dual fans". So, I'm not going to buy an Antec Green 320D for a computer that pulls a full 200w. I would, however, use it for an HTPC which pulls 84w at load, and 12w idle.
Buying extremely high end PSUs for a low load system is both less efficient and a waste of money. The electrical savings will never pay back the higher cost of the PSU and PSUs tend to lose efficiency when their load drops below 50% (as will be the case most of the time in this scenario). So you might not even gain any efficiency at all. Your own links confirm this. He's just trying to save you money.

What about the 770, 760, and 660? Just because the 780 is too expensive doesn't mean you have to drop it all the way down to a 750.
