I'm sorry but buying SLI rigs has always been loving stupid regardless of how the timing screwed you over. They are only useful for specialist purposes. As a semi-normal user you were never going to eke an extra 500 bux of performance out of that second card.

I bought them for 2 separate computers, I had gathered what you mentioned from talking to other people.

Ah condolences then. I always try to buy a generation or two back in the line or down the price/performance curve if feasible for this reason when it comes to graphics cards. I've had a 500 dollah card or two in my day and they don't seem to last any longer than the cards that cost 300ish. Of course I've never been a resolution junkie. You do sometimes need the better juice of a more primo card to keep poo poo running smooth up near 2kish.

Building your own computer is incredibly simple these days. There are plenty of guides on line from everything to a breakdown of each component to pricing guides. DONT waste your cash on top of the line components, you should be able to build a great computer for 700-1000 that will be able to run anything out there at max settings for the next 5+ years if not more. Even if you want to keep it near 500$ with a little research you can make a build that will handle anything out there and handle it well, might not be able to run at the absolute bleeding-edge settings but unless you care about that slight graphics edge it should be more than enough.

also if you smell a group of nerds, find them, befriend them, and then lay waste to their 'hand me down' collection of 1 year old top of the line components.

just get one of your wife's ugly fat friends to suck the nerds penii and you'll be showered in reciprocal hardware.

My desktop is a fairly high end build done by a college kid with rich parents. Kid built it because he thought he would use it more, and eventually decided to put it on craigslist for about half of its actual value because he decided it was taking up too much space.

hey man all I know is that all the parts I got recommended by the megathread on my last build worked and worked phenomenally, while everything else I went off the reservation to get was either flaky or spooky, and it was ultimately a PSU which I didn't check against the megathread about before trying which did the whole thing in

no i know thats a good thread, but i mean this one step outside of SH HC things get bad pretty quick

gtx 1080 ($610-$1,000,000) for best and radeon 480 (~$200-$250) on june 29th for best budget

gtx 1070 performs the same as a 980ti, the previous top of the line card which is running around $430+ right now. it might get closer to $380 though

I did some research for u

How to make a homemade fleshlight?
i looked it up on google, and the three things i got i could not do. I don't have starch, rubber gloves, etc. Is there an easy way to do this that doesn't take much time so you can do it without anyone else knowing? that would be pretty f***ed up if my parents knew D: (emoticon)
Update: oh and i put this under the category of mens health because i couldn't find anything else.
Update 2: your ideas all suck so far, for one thing i cant "bang a chick", for another thing im getting tired of doing it with my hands, just answer my god drat question jesus
