    I agree at this point, unless the same-day delivery becomes more widespread(for no additional cost). That could be the difference that tips the scale in their favor. I'm going to try it for a free 6 months though to see how much I use it

    Google Express Instead of running their own warehouses like Amazon, Google is partnering up with existing merchants to deliver their goods, like Costco, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Kohls, Fry's, etc) Being tested in several cities right now(it's active here in KC). $99 for a year subscription for...

    FYI, heres a lot of good info comparing CPUs and their effect on gaming. Compilation of information on i3 vs i5 vs i7, Sandybridge vs Skylake and RAM speed in CPU intensive games • /r/buildapc GTA5 sees an i5 2500k at 58FPS on a Titan X, and i5 6600k is 72FPS on a Titan X Witcher 3 is 75fps...

    I think Toshiba drives are pretty solid. I always try to stick to the Toshiba, Hitachi, or Western Digital end of the spectrum on mechanical drives. Just stay the hell away from Seagate/Maxtor(I've had more of those fail in the past few decades than any other brands by FAR)

    Your 2500k isn't going to bottleneck you drastically in most games, especially if you have it overclocked to 4.3-4.5ghz or more. Very few games are very CPU dependent(ARMA 3, newer Battlefield games, several MMOs like Elder Scrolls online, Guild Wars 2, etc) I'd say in most average games, you...

    You'll definitely see an emprovement, even with 1200p @60hz. I can't imagine that your 770 is keeping games like Witcher 3 or Fallout 4 or Battlefield 4 at max ultra settings at a consistent 60fps. That rig is going to be overkill for WOW, and any other games that are 4-5 years old or more...

    805 yards of offense combined by Lousiville and Syracuse in the 1st half. Ridiculous

    Syracuse needs to embrace their kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Wake Forest, & Indiana brethren. They all pretend they occasionally care about Football, but we know the truth.

    No ranked teams matching up this weekend. Anyone see any top 25 teams that might struggle this weekend? I think Tennessee could have a tough time with the Hokies, and TCU has a tough matchup with Arkansas. Other than that, I don't really see much else even being close. It's everyone's week...

    1060 is a good value, IMHO. It outperforms a 480 (and the 970) more often than not. At Tomshardware, the 480 won the Hitman & Ashes of Singularity benchmark, and then the 1060 won the Metro: Last Light, Project Cars, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The division, Witcher 3, Battlefield 4, GTA5, etc...

    I also wouldn't pay ~$450 for a 1070 for a "casual" gamer that is still playing mostly WoW. Slap a 1060 in there and save $200. Downgrade to an i5, get an ASRock motherboard for $50 less than that asus, and go with the 1060 for a video card. Those 3 changes alone should get the budget back...

    Give us your entire PC specs, and we can quickly tell if an easy graphics card update would solve your problems or if you're going to have massive bottleneck issues elsewhere as well.

    I think it's going to be an interesting game. West Virginia is going to have only 2 returning starters playing from a defense that was already not very good last year, but Missouri had an offense that was worse than AIDS last year. The classic scenario of which wins out, the movable object or...

    App St just gifted this game to Tennessee by not even getting a FG attempt off in regulation. That was some Andy Reid/Ron Zook/Gary Pinkel levels of inept clock management.

    Bathroom is finally done. Took our contractor almost 4 full weeks(2 days shy of it). My god he was slow. That's what I get for hiring a 60 year old dude I guess. At least he did good work when he was actually working... I should have taken some "before" pictures. Bathroom was straight...

    I'll go ahead and even extend that to people. Local couple here in town got rear-ended by a semi and their 2 kids in the back seat were killed, horrible thing. Parents survived with relatively minor injuries. The Gofundme/kickstarter or whatever it is is up to almost $200,000. Look, losing...

    My favorite year-round beer is easily Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, it comes in 4-pack bottles and the large 750ml bottles as well. It's damn potent, around 9% ABV. Most of the Seasonals are solid, but it looks like only distributed in the midwest(Bobs 47 is amazing, I have a stockpile of it in my...
