completeaddiction **User deleted account** (09/04/2013) [-] Filthy casuals.
My hot-rod has the over-overclocked Gigacore i69 with added 10 terabites of ram that runs off of the boiling tears of African children. To cool this bad boy I pack my own tubes that cool the processor with the cum I give off when 360 quick-noscope spinning fakie-faking you bitches. The powersource that runs this bitch comes from the insults i get from bangin' your mom REPEATEDLY. To store all this advanced **** my harddrive plugs DIRECTLY INTO my ass and to get this surround sound **** I super-glue two guitar amplifiers to my ears.

What's with the i5? The good models are great for gaming.
inb4 "i7 ftw". Many i7 are overkill when it comes to gaming. You most likely only need those if you do video and image conversion/edition.
I myself have an i5-2500k, not overclocked, and never had any kind of CPU lag even with high end games, and when I do I can still overclock it to a whoopin' 4.5 GHz

sorenlolz (09/04/2013) [-] My GPU is pretty weak at the moment. Nvidia 550ti. ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ ATX Mobo. 8Gb ballistix (2 x 4) RAM DDR3 Dual channel. Corsair 600m power supply. 500Gb HDD. Cheap writable disk drive. I forgot to say my processor was only $120, the I7 is like $300. I paid a total of $400 so far.

I have a 560 Ti and it handles Farcry 3 on High with pretty good fps, is there such a difference between the 550 and the 560?
Also, did your PSU ever give you any trouble? My PSU is going defective, and it's the second to do that this year, most likely because they were rather cheap ones. Anyway, are the Corsair PSUs reliable?

poniesareghey (09/04/2013) [-] An i5 in a laptop generally means it's around 2.4ghz and really can't handle much. Not saying there aren't good i5's, but if you buy a laptop with an i5 it's probably more likely to be a 520. If you spend money on a laptop with a good i5, it's likely you overpayed for a "superior gaming laptop" advertisement. You can't really win.

pwnmissilereborn **User deleted account** (09/04/2013) [-]
Truth is that whenever you pay for a gaming laptop, you have overpaid, whether you got an i5 or an i7, because the quality/price ratio for them is always inferior to desktop components, not to mention that pretty much every laptop only has onboard GPUs.
That said, the problem is in it being a laptop, not in the i5 series as those are more than adequate for gaming PCs.

The only difference between i5 and i7 is hyperthreading which is used by practically no games. A lot of people with i7's disable hyperthreading when playing games because it's completely useless. The only games you will even see a benefit going from an i3>i5 are big multiplayer games where player positions are handled by the cpu.
tldr: Unless you're getting at least a 770m/7970m, an i7 is a waste of money.

ihateallofyoualot **User deleted account** (09/04/2013) [-] Wired Mice are superior in every way. Wireless mice are sometimes delayed, they're unreliable, and the batteries can die while you play. Those aren't all the reasons but I want to keep it somewhat short.
#382 to #105

thenez ONLINE (09/04/2013) [-] its very rare for a wireless mouse to be superior to a wired mouse, because there is a lot of encoding and decoding that is going on between the emitter and the receiver. for example, if a company wanted to make their mice more "affordable", they could choose to include more "inexpensive" (slower) encoding and decoding chips in the emitter and receiver. where a wired mouse will send straight usb signals. granted, the movement must still be encoded and decoded, there is a lot less of it going on, and therefore lower chance for cheap parts.

cryingchicken (09/04/2013) [-] I use a wireless mouse and it's both those things along with the convenience of being usable more than 1m away from the pc.
>6400 dpi
>no input lag thanks to low latency reciever and transmitter.
>battery is recharchable and I've never needed to change it as it has a 50 hour battery life and comes with a spare battery which i keep on charge on the occasion that it does need to be changed... also you can connect a wire as well, although i never use it.

Posting as anon because, well, you'll see.
But I'm an idiot when it comes to any sort of computer hardware, even basic **** like a goddamn mouse.
Why are wireless mouses bad? Not trying to argue, just curious.
(Isn't it something to do with a slight delay compared to wired?)

tomtomvdp (09/04/2013) [-] It's just useless , and except for a few exceptions from razer , they are usually poorly made , and won't last much, they are overpriced. And some of them work on double A batteries , so all in all . There is nothing to justify their purchase , except for presentations , some cheaper models have a lot of input lag , etc.
Besides for the price of a ****** wireless mouse you can get a really good wired mouse , with different dpi , weights , additional buttons , and built from better materials . And drivers to configure the buttons , or even if you are a piece of **** , configure Macros.

highclassbean (09/04/2013) [-] well that is just your interpretation of what I said. just because you think I was trying to be cool doesn't automatically make your assumption correct you **** . im pretty sure having a better processor = a slightly better computer. also a numberpad and mouse buttons go hand in hand with most games. god you are ******* retarded, sure what I originally said wasn't funny, but what you are saying it just straight stupid.

Alright.
Listen up guys.
My sister has a mac, and i've got to say, it's pretty damn good at doing the things it was DESIGNED FOR. Sure, it's too expensive and you could buy a computer to do the exact same thing, cheaper, but she's happy with it, if somone whats to buy a mac. Then thats fine,
It can't run games, no, but it's good at media editing and what not.
You'd not judge a lamps quality on its ability to make toast, stop judging macs on their gaming ability.

thirdjess (09/04/2013) [-] Hello I'm an artist/designer and I use a PC. It's been an industry standard for so long I think it's just a sheep thing. There are a couple perks, like it comes with free Adobe suite and it has more type faces (which are important, don't even start me) but at least for me the only reason I'd get one is because it has all these mac limited edition designey stuff that clients are always asking for.

thirdjess (09/04/2013) [-] No you misunderstand. Ok so say a PC with certain specs is $1000, and to buy the creative suite additionally is another $1000. Then on the other team there's a Mac with the exact same specs as the PC, as well as the creative suite for $2200. So it kinda evens out.
I have the legitimate copies of all my programs, costs me a pretty penny too.

thirdjess (09/04/2013) [-] No. I am fully aware of piratebay and cracks and serial generators. Before I took on design as my job, I used a pirated copy of Photoshop CS3. However, it is my job. I take this **** seriously. I have access to updates, I have access to special content, I have access to many many things. You wouldn't see a music producers using pirated copies of fruity loops.

grandmabetty (09/04/2013) [-] What he's trying to say is, why buy a Mac when you can do the exact same **** on a PC for so much cheaper. You can buy a hardware-superior PC for the same price as a Mac.
People have this weird idea that if they buy a Mac they're somehow going to be "inspired to produce better things while media editing". Somebody actually told me that's why they prefer the Mac. But it's a complete load of brainwashing tosh.

edraham ONLINE (09/04/2013) [-] They're is a difference between a hipster buying a mac and pro buying a mac. We can have reduction that others can't. Plus, some applications work only on OSX.
I own an IMac for the Logic and Final Cut Suite. I play games too, actually I'm in progress on PTR for the 5.4. A mac is sufficient.
I'm kind today, I'll not talk about how a PC and a Mac use their capacities. Their cores are different. And you'll be surprise.

thenez ONLINE (09/05/2013) [-] There are cards that exist with 4gb VRAM. GTX Titan comes with 6gb, and the upcoming quadro k6000 is coming with 12gb VRAM
It's just that VRAM is not a big factor when it comes to playing games. Sure, it helps to have more when playing at high resolution and having a lot of mods installed (skyrim being a good example). Really what we care about is what card you have, it's a better measure of your performance. Nobody wants to know your max resolution, Amount of VRAM, or your data bus, just your actual card's name as previously stated.

arrogant (09/04/2013) [-] While on the topic, another noob here.
2.4-GHz Intel Core i7-3635QM (Pretty good processor, I know that much)
AMD Radeon HD 8770M Graphics GPU (No idea)
Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU (Not so great?)
Would it be reasonable to expect to be able to play 2013 release games on these specs? Cheers

twofreegerbils (09/04/2013) [-] At a certain point, it's not about sour grapes anymore, it's about being smart with your money. You're not paying $4,000 because that mac is 4 times better than a $1000 pc. You're paying $4,000 because a mac is "so choice" and you can show it off to your friends. Enjoy your fiscal irresponsibility.
