64 gigs of RAM and only 1.5 TB of hard drive space huh

You could have got like 8 gigs RAM which is fine for games and then spent that money on another hard drive to store your games and torrents and poo poo
I guess you could run a bunch of VMs for its own sake I guess?

i had the same feeling, only it was after getting Fallout 4. turns out it wasn't worth a new computer at all, and i could have just played some more New Vegas for a better experience. the new computer is still nice though, as i can now have an irresponsible number of tabs open in Firefox without it effecting my posting

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
I7 2600k which no application has yet even gotten to hit 50% max load

8 gigs ram, more than enough.

Geforce 660. Yes this currently sucks but unlike you dumb assholes I'm not gonna buy a shiny new 500 dollar 1080. I'll buy a shiny old one in a year when they are 250 or 300. Suck my nuts.

Real thing I'm missing atm is a couple hundred gigs of ssd. Someone buy me like at least 200 gigs of ssd. Thanks.

They've gotten really cheap and are pretty nice if noise is a concern. I was worried I was going too overboard but after dealing with a Haswell it's $55 dollars well spent.

Oh ok. I'll trust you when you say they are cheap now. Last I saw of them they were over 200, ridiculously overengineered, had bad failure rates, and on top of all that did absolutely nothing that a big enough fan couldn't.

Hackintosh build with one SSD running El Capitan and the other Windows 10. Boot to whichever one I want to on start up. Strongly recommend if you're even only semi-technical and need to use OSX for whatever reason (mine being editing). I mainly use windows for gaming and not much else.
