    I just purchased the computer today. My local guy said he couldn’t even come close to the price I got. I checked toms hardware and tested the regular onboard video card on the computer compared to the GTX 1060 that’s installed in it and the video card is 623% faster than the standard onboard...

    Opinion of Cowboys if they beat Saints

    As long as Garrett is still the head coach following the New Orleans game my opinion of the team won’t change. Win or lose, it doesn’t matter as long as Garrett is still the head coach The team is irrelevant at this point. They will never succeed as long as Garrett remains the head coach. Win...

    I haven’t bought it yet. I gave him the specs and the exact model number and asked him to see if he can match or beat the price. If he can find the same prebuilt machine for the same price I’ll buy it from him. He said he will try to match it and get back to me tomorrow. But he said it was a...

    I wish I could use the cloud for business. It sure would make my life a whole lot easier. But I can’t touch the cloud with anything to do for work. It’s typically too sensitive and I can in no way take a chance on someone else gaining access. I have to keep everything local on my own machine...

    Update I did finally find a decent deal this morning. Amazon has this rig for $896 but I found it elsewhere for $699. It’s an HP i5-8400 8gigs Ram (which I’ll upgrade to 16 for $50) 256g SSD MVMe PCIe M.2 HD (which is the fastest HD configuration available, it’s even faster than a standard...

    I’m not really finding any deals on prebuilt systems. You might save $50-$100 on a system. But that’s about it I had hoped there would be some killer deals on computers for both Black Friday and cyber Monday. But it seems like the only systems on sale are much older models with CPU’s that are...

    Are there any computer gurus here?

    Thx Dooms My main hope was that I’d find some amazing deal for either Black Friday or for Cyber Monday. But sadly that just isn’t the case Stores aren’t offering huge savings on prebuilt systems. You might save $100 if you look hard enough. But it won’t be the exact system you were looking...

    Are there any computer gurus here?

    I was hoping to find some amazing Black Friday/cyber Monday deals but so far I have not had any luck For the specs I’m looking for it pretty much seems to be a pick em type deal on any of the main computer sites. Meaning they are all about the same price for what I’m looking for. You might save...

    Actually I only use my phone and tapatalk for this place. I almost never use an actual computer for the internet anymore. It’s all cellphone and iPad to surf the web.

    The increase in performance between the 2 CPU’s was minimal. Less than 13% increase in the i7 over the i5. If I was using it for gaming it would be worth the difference. But for what I’ll be using the computer for it isn’t worth the additional cost. Plus adding the video card to the build with...

    Are there any computer gurus here?

    After doing some research today it looks like I will be adding the video card after all The software I use is designed to take advantage of the Nvidia chipsets on their video cards so it will be beneficial to add one Plus for the type and amount of video editing I will be doing I can easily...

    I just checked the specs on the standard onboard gpu that is built into the new CPU’s vs my old video card that I had in my old machine The standard on board gpu that comes with the new i5/i7 cpu’s is 434% faster than my old video card which was high end at the time I bought it. LOL That...
