If you insist.

Pulled the trigger on the Sapphire Toxic, couldn't pass up the 2 free games and free shipping. Here's what I'm looking at now: Part list permalink / Part price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($214.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: MSI P67A-G45 (B3)...

Thinking about picking this up, seems like a nice price...

How does performance compare to an Intel 510 120gb?

Looking at this video card, for the unlocked 6970 and a free Deus Ex! http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.722042

Looking at a new build for recording/composition and the upcoming round of games (Skyrim, BF3, etc). I prefer quality parts, i.e. ASUS, Corsair, Lian-Li, etc. I will also be upgrading to a 1920x1200 monitor soon. Here's what I'm looking at right now, looking to buy within a week or so. I...

Vista is a failure, get 7.

I'm looking forward to when Microsoft releases SuperClock. It's like I paid good money for this CPU, yet it sits there only at 1-5% usage ALL the time. I can't wait until it's filled with programs running in the background that I'm not actually using!

Most consumers know that Windows is not free, and if they ever do want to upgrade they see the price of that. Most consumers don't buy upgrades because they know they can get it for less when they buy a new PC. The hardware people want to keep it that way anyway. If they were aware of free...

No you'd be an Apple fanboi, claming it's the best OS EVAR and I'd be complaining about Apple. ;) Seriously though, Microsoft has been building proprietary systems into it's products and slowly squeezing out competition for decades now. Essentially penalizing markets who don't want to use or...

Only within the first few months. After that it sold below expectations, but thanks for playing. Hardly, the people were shown brief demos and eye candy of Vista, by Microsoft reps. They weren't given any real time alone to actually use the OS, and the those that actually knew anything about...

I pay for any software that is worth the cost, the cost of the platform that it runs on doesn't matter. That's a ridiculous notion. I also donate to support free software that is worth the cost. Sure there are fringe people that want everything to be free, but many of them also steal commercial...
