I think we can agree that for a gamer, the bottom line is that you should consider a ssd only after you've got the very best video cards and you still want to spend more. Otherwise you're wasting money that could be spent on more important graphics performance, as solid state drives offer zero additional frame rate improvement.

So once you have GTX 680's in sli, then spend whatever is left in your budget on a ssd and you will be happy with a snappy windows 7 boot time.

you make me feel embaressed by my decadence.

lol that's not arborist!

haha I thought you was going to say there is no way i am 23, i pulled that pic of another forum one of my colleagues put that up there. My nick name at work is the silver fox, in Germany they call me the dax?? maybe Ripley or Blackie can shed some light on that for me?

This is me at work check out the workers tan.

SSDs are a good performance increase, but I still stand by my last statement, they are still too expensive compared to HDDs.

What about using intel smart response, I read some good things about it.

A nice z68 board, i5k CPU would make a great base for a system and maybe use intel smart thing with a cheap 64gb or less ssd.

My name is Marc and I am 23

Not looking right on my gaypad resolution all wrong, where as this site works well apart from the quick links in the top right.
So needs to be fagpad friendly so I can check in easily when I am away.

sounds like youre asking us to talk you out of overkill

It's a lot of wedge, The main problem is its a bad time to buy it seems, on a side note though this build is costing a little less than ginia,s and is in many ways a better rig, superior case stronger components some more bells and whistle including 240gb ssd.
I suppose this is a trade off with new stuff just around the corner.

I know I saw that on your videos

Other than that I wonder if you can see a difference between 2 680s and 2 580s when you play BF3

I doubt I,d see a difference between 1 or 2 of either! dunno why I want 2 in gods honest truth, although I do want to get a 30 inch ips monitor next. Even so 2 is decadent.

I,m still undecided about the ssd, so confusing reading online reviews, plus benchmarks can mean real world squat.

The more you think about it the worse it gets, I,m more of an act now think later kinda guy anyway.

If you're only using it for gaming, you can save money on the CPU and go with 2500k, as the 2600k's hyper threading does nothing for gaming performance.

I had my heart set on a 2500k a while back but seeing ginia,s pc perform in video editing software makes me want it now. I lost hours of work on my pc it drove me mad having to redo projects so I,m hoping this pc will make it smoother for me as its something I really want to get into.

As for the 680's again getting real good deal on these, getting 2 is just stupid I know, but I worked my freakin ass off in Germany blood, pain and sweat.
These will be kept for 3 years just like my old 4890 which seved me well.

Well my old rig is dead, so in the market for something new

Seems now is not a great time to buy with Ivy bridge and z77 mobo,s around the corner but i do not want to wait. And its looking like IB will not be such a huge step up.

Looking at getting another rig like Ginia,s

So Asus maximus z
i72600k
16gb ram (2 x 8gb)
240gb intel 520 (i found a deal on this but not sure)
2 GTX680,s
Corsair HX1050 psu

I've looked at the x79 rigs they give ultimate bench marks but for what i need and how i want my system it'll be £500 more and i do not think i,d utilise the power to make it worth it, what i,m getting is stupid enough for my needs but i,m a sucker and my last pc drove me mad.

Any suggestions i,m looking to buy soon.

omg at 5:30 I jerked back so fast I almost fell out of my chair lol

and what's the deal with the log falling sideways at the end? why didn't you chain it up like the rest

There was an old hardened steel wire brace running around all the stems that had grown into them I was cutting those bits out individually that one took a swing and at its full momentum ripped free of the wire and flung sideways at one of my team

Falling is the least of my worries hitting people or like at 5:30 if my position was bad or my craning point even worse that piece could of come back at me and crushed me in the tree.

The guy in Red trousers that you may be able to see at somepoint in the vid fell out of a tree shattered his wrist and broke his back in 2 places. He is doing a Triathlon this year as well as cycling the 90m Olympic cycling route in a day, he is one tough guy.

Do you shoot the rope on the tree first or how are you getting it up?

Yes, with a throwline

Quote from "NecessaryEvil";p="11705"

That looks so high. Have you ever fallen?

No i've never fallen, falling is the least of my worries, slipping with that saw is, its cuts through hard Oak like butter! High qaulity Japanese steel!

I'm not into stereo typing but all Russians are cheaters

Well it was a close match pretty much kill for kill the whole way, then Robo towards the end got 2 kils in front and with the clock ticking I pushed hard to get them back in one last ditched effort and failed Good game Robo.

Me and Tuny was close I got in front by 5 kills then fell apart, still great fun and a tough opponent GG Tuny.

I'm in hopefully BF3 has not dulled my skills to much.

yes
