Another Bitchslapping Gaming PC Build - SMD Style. (VIDEO PAGE 13)

[8ight]

That's a little arrogant.

That's kind of how this place is now. Someone shows what they got, then people say, oh you should have gotten this or trade it for that. :/

I just ignore those people, if everyone did, they would stop. Self-governance is wonderful but I suppose online where there is no identity such a suggestion is heresy.

Excellent component choice anyhow my last big PC build had an original XPower in it, loved that board.

Yeah you just ignore those people... but imagine you have 10 times the amount of people telling you what you should do like steve would have. Can see how it could get annoying. Easier to just cut it out from the start. Not arrogance.

I can imagine which is precisely why I would have worded it differently, personally. Maybe something like "This is not open to suggestions since I have already decided on the components. I know some of you are also experienced in this field and I thank you for looking." I like Steve's work and I have not met him (unfortunately) he seems like a good guy who gets a bad rep in many places online for comments like that with no real ill intention.

Again, the PC is top-knotch and I haven't seen that line of power supply from Corsair yet, gonna have to check them out.

exactly.

It was a disclaimer that i don't need anyones help, before they even start. Basically saying "thanks, but no thanks". Some people always get feelings hurt when i say something as simple and polite as "no thanks". I can't even be nice about it without someone who isn't even involved getting their feelings hurt. Generally, in everything i do, i always have SOMEONE who wants to tell me what i should have done, after i already did it.

Anyway, Did it help? not really. In this case it was a good thing since i was dead set on getting 3 cards. I would have found out but then again i would have kept the extra 690 and bought another to upgrade my own pc. So no big deal. But still, it was good advice.

Well in the case Steve since you already bought 3, might as well dedicate one to PhsyX lool

You didn't put it like that at first, and my feelings are uninjured. Keep up the great work man.

Ya right. I could post (what you said) and send cookies, milk, and candy to their front door......and someone would STILL get their feelings hurt.

I get a bad rap on some sites because those guys are disrespectful internet cowards with big ass internet mouths. I get a bad rep when i don't take their shit on youtube or anywhere else i see it. If someone tells me, "your car is a piece of shit, you should push it off a cliff"......and i say, "ya, maybe with you inside of it" - then they run off and tell all their internet fuck-buddies that i am a dick, when they are the ones who started it.

fuck them and fuck anyone who has something bad to say about me. I have never done anything to ANYONE to deserve my "bad rep". If you shoot a rocket at me and i retaliate with a fucking missile, don't blame it on me.

I get ya, well ya good thing you did post it hahaha, or you could have sent it to me I'll pay the shipping

Also, i got this....i don't need 20 people telling me what to get, or what i should get. I know what i am doing, even if you do too. Thanks!

i thought i was being nice. I didn't say "you don't know what you are talking about, leave me alone". I am saying, "even if you are good, i still got this!"

I build a gaming PC about once a year and as most know, if you don't stay on top of things, technology will pass you by. Hence the reason i didn't know i couldn't do 3 of THESE cards in SLI. I have more experience with SLI configured machines then 95% of the people here but i still get rusty. If i need the advice, i will ask for it though.

oh, and im not mad at you, i just can't believe when i am being nice, someone still finds a way to call me arrogant. Its all good bro

[8ight]

That's just the way I took it and figured it could be hater-bait. I knew what you meant.

Borderlands 2 lags a bit on my machine, I'm still running an older 1366 i7 though. Hell if I had 6k to throw into a machine I'd do the same. Also I'm not sure if Windows 8 automaticly enables TRIM, I know most of the drivers do, but to keep those samsungs running at top speed its a good thing to check. Unless you're doing 2 of them in RAID 0, which I know on Windows 7 TRIM isnt supported on SSD raid arrays, not sure about 8.

I think you'll like 8, it has some sweet multi monitor features. If you really want to go all out, there are a few companies starting to make 27 inch multitouch screens for use with Windows 8. I cant find any that are running the resolutions you're running though, so that might put them off the table.
