  1. I would've gone with a different motherboard, and maybe a little less RAM, something higher than DDR3 - 2000 maybe.

    The i7 is a bit much if you're just doing gaming, however if you do rendering or something that eats CPU, it should be useful!

    Would not agree with your thoughts on the memory. The CPU's native support is DDR3-1333/1600. So unless you fine-tune and tweak everything, the result in performance will not be that noticeable. And having a surplus in memory itself can be quite handy, I have 8 and I have to say I am struggling a bit at times when I suddenly want to run a memory heavy game and have a billion tabs open in a browser. Makes games with poor optimization(Or a ton of separate objects) run better. For instance X3.

     

    I definitely wouldn't have gone with the EVGA PSU.  They've got alot of bad reviews about their stuff.  Probably would've been better off going Corsair or similar brands.

    Not sure how it is on the US market, but here Cursair PSU's are quite.. eeh fishy. Cannot say much on the EVGA PSU line. But for something reliable I would have suggested the Seasonic Gold series. Very neat and modular PSU's.

  2. Will not mention those that have been mentioned before, or well try to.

    Helix - CDC investigates a new possible outbreak in a privately funded research facility.

    The Mentalist - Consultant for police forces on the pursuit of a serial killer. (Think Psych but less 'silly' characters and more mind games)

  3. I would suggest an SSD and then have an extra external drive for your random data.


     


    For instance: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167140


     


    Generally more drop proof than general HDDs. And changing to hybrid will not change anything since it still has moving parts which will be damaged just like that. As for gaming, well I have Corsair Force 3 as the OS drive and a separate one where I install most of my stuff. But of course if 200GBs is enough then you will not need an external one. Or look towards one of Samsung's latest releases of SSDs that go up to a TB.


  4. Probbaly. But it is true that it left a bad taste with all the easy access to high end gear through the auction house. Probably the reason why Path of Exile is that awesome. And on Hardcore, hard as hell as well. One miscalculation and you're screwed.

    But as for D3, probably will not touch it again before there is new content out. Honestly can't bring myself to try and grind past the last two acts of the final difficulty.

  6. I have high doubts that this will be a success if watching how things had recently turned with Red Alert 3 and the last C&C that simply does not exist. But I do hope to be proven wrong.


     


    Also, Amazon seems to have a deal on the entire C&C collection if someone wants to feel nostalgic and play other titles from the series -> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DNHLFQA/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=childsplaycha-20


     


    Edit: Annoying that it only works with Origin though. >:


  7. It's worth mentioning that End of Nations is now radically different from that - it's no longer an RTS and is instead a MOBA, and is no longer being developed by Petroglyph (ex-Westwood), and is instead being developed by Trion.

    Ah damn, no Petroglyph. Sadface. >:

  10. Damn, I wish my workspace was ever as clean as the ones pictured above. The best state that I've seen mine in was I think with two empty cups of coffee and some random cans of energy drinks. xD;
