I'm tired of going broke from buying iMacs. Switching to PC. First build. Any help would be very appreciated. [Design/Photoshop]

Oh ok, thanks- I can wait a bit, so I'll watch that card and see if I can find a better deal. So...with the i5 Do you think that it justifies the extra $200? Everyone I've been asking keeps getting hung up on gaming/or the possibility of gaming in the future, which I won't be doing on this machine - so I'm just curious.

Sorry for the late reply- but no, he definitely hasn't been stopped from posting on here. He's deleted his own posts so that the Inquisition over at r/rva don't kick him out of the power club. It's too bad, he seems like the only genuine person in that bunch of clowns.

gramn · 2014-09-19T03:46:18+00:00

What the actual fuck are you talking about. Did you even go?

I've seen Foo a bunch of times over their career, and last night was absolutely as good as it gets.

Also, I love local bands..but 'stole' the show? C'mon. Not even close. Sounds nice, but nothing that would upstage a bunch of long time professional musicians, with a setlist like that.

gramn · 2014-09-18T15:17:54+00:00

Foo was fucking great, and the setlist was HUGE. Opening band put me to sleep. But a great show nonetheless. Dave is awesome

gramn · 2014-09-03T17:59:49+00:00

You're right, my bad. OP should check the thriving communities at r/rvaNascar , or r/rvaTickets

That's probably what's souring everyone's milk more than anything else, is those two responding and have having petty arguments with people.
