With all the new games coming out I decided it was time to upgrade. Usually I don't go with top of the line stuff, and I didn't exactly go bleeding edge, but this is by far the most powerful box I've built relative to what's out there.

Intel i7 quad core 3.4GHz

ASUS P8P67 PRO

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

I was initially going to get a better video card that was about $100 more but the value of the one I got was too good. The whole order, including a full tower case, RAM, etc, was right at $900.

I started up COD black ops as a test, knowing my old machine could barely even play it, and was fuging blown away. I maxed everything and it ran as smooth as butter. I'm pretty giddy about my new toy. Windows performance rates everything at a 7.8 out of 7.9 except for my disk io which is horrid(I'm going to set up some raid striping soon).

Skyrim - come at me bro.

Not for gaming really, just general performance. I was thinking about a SSD but they're just way too expensive and unreliable.

hmmm. i don't trust a stripe enough to deal with it on a general basis, but I'm lazy like that. definitely agree with you on ssd tho.

      Also confirmed that Andersen was injured and not 100%. Said he could've kinda played but really can't do that this time of the year.

      Every union, union adjacent, or union tangent organization does this. They prey on dumb employees  who think the union is there for them instead of the mob or some other social-politically entangled arse. Always degrades the product and indeed the price of that product too. Then money flowing up to people with 0 to do with anything about the product. Its the most simple protection racket and oldest in the book yet people are still sub 70 enough to think it matters for anything other than making money for the racketeers.  I mean this is on their Wiki(yeah i know wiki) The NFL Players Association is the labor union representing National Football League players in matters concerning wages, hours and working conditions, and protects their rights as professional football players. So instead of the player doing that with his own agent which is why you have a fkn agent lol. So they are pilfering money from the player twice. Agent then NFLPA The standard annual membership dues are approximately $15,000. While players are not legally obligated to formally join the union, those who choose not to are generally still required to pay a mandatory service fee equivalent to union dues. Can't take anyone seriously when they talk up unions and since the mob is involved that's why you get those refs doing NFL ref poo. You can even hear former mob Michael Franzese just open admit this now that he's out of prison and making YT videos.(has been for years now)
