Hmm, I would think that the MB is faulty then, sounds to me like it's slowly dying. Could be that the north bridge on the mobo is faulty.

Try reinstalling the GPU driver using DDU.

I'm almost sorry I gave that video a view...wth was that?

Did I miss some announcement?

Wth is a founder's edition? edit: ah nvm...it's just a "fancy" cooler...

I don't know if I should wait for the 1080Ti or just get the 1080. I'll probably just wait for the 1080Ti before getting anything to get the full picture.

Whaaaaaat?!? When was this announced?

http://www.pcgamer.com/how-relic-devs-plan-to-raise-our-game-for-dawn-of-war-3s-campaign/ So good news is that the hero stuff is still very much in play.

Person of interest started again, I wanted to catch an episode to see if it had improved any, but alas, same old same old...plus a supercomputer made from PS3's...

Nah, I think you're really stretching it. As long as they don't completely go back to DW1 I'm happy.

The issue with DW1 was that it brought nothing new to the genre and apart from the setting and story it was pretty bland gameplay wise (it was just a standard rts), where as DW2 was very unique and memorable.

Thanks. So it's a return to WH1. Well I don't mind I liked them both, although I do hope that they keep the heroes gameplay from WH2, or at least have missions that are like that.

So how long until the gameplay trailer?

And I agree, as I said the acting was fine, I even think that the script was serviceable, but the action was just not there. Nothing got me exited in the movie. Movie needs a different director.

Saw Batman vs Superman. I don't know, Batman kind of left me underwhelmed. It's not that the acting was not doing it for me, but everything Batman did left me...well...underwhelmed... The whole movie lacked that wow factor. I think that if you took the action sequences from the Marvel movies and put them to use with the DC characters you would have gotten a great movie.

Ugh, I really think they won't do it justice with a TV series. The thing is even if they gut the books to the core, which would really suck, they would still need a crap load, budget wise, after book 3. I think an animated series (preferably 2d) would be the way to go, but then there isn't much money to be made there. As for movies, I couldn't imagine them getting a budget for that. I don't know, I'm not holding my breath for this one, even though I'm a major fan of the WoT series.

Well not half, but at least the first part.

I sent my monitor to service again, for the same issue. It seems these panels have issues with bright spots appearing, among other things... Anyways, I'm going to return it after they confirm the issue and swap it for a 34UC88 (curved), or if I can get a confirmation from the seller that they will getting it, the 34UM88 model (flat). Both have Free Sync which I won't be using unless I switch to AMD, but the flat model has a 75HZ refresh rate, on the other hand if the 34UM88 has the same panel as the 34UM95 (the one I currently own) I'll be running the risk of the bright spot appearing again. I had no luck finding out the ID of the panel of the new model. edit: Seems both the 34um88 and the 34uc88 are 60Hz default and 75Hz with freesync enabled.

Cossacks 3 beta signups begins

New season of anime started. So far I'm getting good vibes from Kiznaiver and Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge.

I mean they are not bad, but you can't expect them to run everything you throw at them, they will show their limitation as soon as you try to do anything hardware demanding. But as your requirements are pretty light they should be more then enough. My recommendation would be to see if you can squeeze in a SSD in to the config, although that depends on how much money you have left over and how much space you want for storage.

Yeah at the end of the day you need the money to buy said stuff even if you consider eating as optional. I'm in the same boat as you, I don't like to spend money on gimmicks as I know I won't use it (my mobile has a keypad and it's not a BlackBerry), but when I know it's something I will get full milage out of I go overboard... (build thread for proof)

It's not even finances, it's pretty much what you are willing to give. Some people like to have the highend stuff and are willing to pay for it and other, smart, people know what they need so they don't end up selling their organs. Can't wait for them OLED monitors to come...

What CPU/MB do you have. It could be due to your CPU supporting a low number of lanes and the mb not having it's own chip to offset that. I have a 5820k with a rampage 5 mb and for some strange reason only the first slot offers a full x16 lane, but it's blocked by the cooler for me and when I plug in the card in to a lower slot I only get x8 lanes... So it could be a similar case with your own setup.

I was expecting someone more...hmmm...well equipped for the role.
