    *nudgenudge* What kind of games? :)


    LOL nahhh, I just wanted to invest in one for the next 7-8 years ago hahah.
    Yeah, definitely noticed that Macbook Pro's last for quite a while! :D Good investment.

    Ooooh, How are you liking the Asus GTX? I haven't really heard much about it.
    Also, does the EVGA 850W GQ serve you well? There aren't as many reviews compared to their supernova.

    P.S. Daaaaang that 4k monitor. What kind of gaming do you do? Is it like SUPER eons better than 1080p?

    Whoops, forgot to change that part. I'm actually using a Supernova G1 650W, copy and pasted your format and just reused it :p

    I've had the 1070 for a year plus some now, it's a great card that gets me the performance i'm looking for. Still thinking about upgrading to the 1070ti though, but is probably extremely unnecessary seeing as how I barely game as it is nowadays.

    Ooooh. You upgraded? Cool! How do you compare the Supernova to the 850 GQ? I was thinking of upgrading to the Supernova for like an extra $40 but wasn't sure if the quality was going to be much different/efficient.

    Yeeeee. I think 1070ti is a bit overkill for many things, 1060 and under is good for maxed out 1080p res for games. But then again you have a 4k Monitor sooooo. :^)))) Gotta use it to its fullest potential ayyy

    The Supernova is a great powersupply, has done its job and is money well spent. Not much to say about a power supply though!

    I use the 4k monitor mainly for media-related things. I do video editing and graphical design (not-professionally) on the side so it certainly does help me with that. The monitor has poor color-grading so it's not exactly wonderful for professional video / graphical edits. It is however great for basic editing, media entertainment (such as netflix, and youtube) and is just great for having room.

    The main reason I even have a 1070 is because I game in 1440P / 144hz , the 1070 is what drives it and does a wonderful job at doing so. Running a 1060 wouldn't give me the luxury of enjoying gaming at 144hz.

    Ooohhhh! I see! I do art/graphic design as well. Never heard about the feedback on 4k monitors having poor color presentation. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to invest in that. Thanks for the heads up. C:

    So having a sick pc means you can only play stupidly expensive and highly advanced graphics games?
    Jk lul
    I know for a fact though that even if people have a really good pc they might still lower the GFX to bring back the nostalgia of the trash pc that they used to play v83 on gms.

    Huge music collection over 250 GB, then several drives are redundant backups of others.
    One drive should be removed since it's not used even, too many hours on it for me to feel safe using it.

    No I just find it funny that, IF and only if MapleStory is the main game they play, people spend so much on getting a gaming PC, just to play MapleStory that doesn't even demand 20% of the PC's specs. It's like you bought a bus when you only have a family of 3.

    If you play other games then disregard everything I said lol.

    Ooooh, that's pretty cool! Is it all music you've collected over the years? :) What kind of genres do you have? :0


    I mean, some people need a high end computer so they can do work like video editing and image editing, which requires as much as (or even more) efficiency in a computer rig, and they don't game at all. :9

    For me personally, I couldn't even play 2 games of PUBG without getting a blue screen on my current (old) computer. T ^ T
