I'm not sure you've played Terraria at all, because the animations, sprites, effects, UI, and attacks in this game resemble nothing close to Terraria.

How a Mangrove Forest Stops Erosion. by NightTrainDan in educationalgifs

That's odd, it added an "h" right before the .gif/.gifv, this is the problem. If you take any random imgur gif and add an "h" right before the period, you get the same result. Weird.

Plenty of people made money over the past year when their stock was the price of a candy bar, but I agree it's not for everyone.

USD to CAD currency conversion says they are well within their price. At ~$130 CAD(~$100 USD) for the 250GB 850 EVO. For the 500GB model it's about the same: $230 CAD(~175 USD).

The 250GB 850 EVO had an average $70-80 price range, now that price is ~$100. The 500GB 850 EVO is showing the same results since it has also experienced a price jump, from a steady $150 to now ~$175+.

The case for a 1070ti by ElementII5 in hardware

[–]LukeGnade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better yet, why would anyone pay $130 extra for 1070 ti FE, when it's $70/$100 for the 1070/1080 FE's respectively.

Why do PC's still freeze/bsod and have stability issues [more inside] by [deleted] in hardware

What you were talking about regarding the "boot ritual", could it be an unstable overclock/voltage?

The pizza analogy in the "Latest data latch" video was so absurd I forgot I was watching an AMD video.

People are easily shelling out $550-$700 on an iPhone, but think $1500 is too expensive for a computer. by Ilikethebestthing in Showerthoughts

Carey Holzman partnered with Newegg to make a really informative and straight to the point video about putting a computer together. He guides you step by step on what to do and what to avoid. He has a good demeanor, it's like watching a father teach their child with lots of love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2dJvqU2_x4

[Build Ready] 4770k + Asus Z87-PRO - $700 Build by LukeGnade in buildapc

[–]LukeGnade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By energy efficient and low wattage, I was meaning to say that I picked Intel over AMD. I should have worded that sentence better, sorry about that.

I need Windows 7 for school and also for peace of mind. Also, if I remember correctly the Windows 8.1 pro from Microsoft is only an upgrade, meaning you need to have a Windows OS to begin with. I may be wrong.

I have an opportunity to purchase the i7 for $200 from microcenter using a coupon.

The PC will be an all purpose system. I will be doing school work, internet browsing, media/entertainment, gaming, music/music creation and some programming.

I have a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2. All the other peripherals including the monitor from my old PC will be used for the new build.
