    So today was my birthday and I got a new computer. It's not exactly for gaming, but its 100000x times better than my old one. Bad news is, I have to spend 549876498674598749845679 days downloading all my games back. Woot woot!

    oc'd this shit. processor clock speed is as 4.2ghz. gpu oc isn't too impressive, didn't have a lot of headroom as it was already factory overclocked, plus no water cooling and possible power supply limitations.

    Don't worry about it NZ. It seems to me that comparing specs on computers is a fun passtime between nerds. I don't think it means anything if your computer underperforms another considering we all use our computers for different things.

    Looking at this though, I probably shouldn't be running like a million 3D apps at once. I don't want to cook my GPU.

    It still does its job just fine. It was just in pain since I was running a copy of 3DS Max, Substance Painter, Photoshop, After Effects, and Fraps all at once.

    Its been a busy weekend.

    Everything runs at a pretty decent speed on the 560. Not really in any rush to upgrade. My current card has been a loyal companion throughout my schooling, and I have no intention of putting it down yet.

    Building computers is the way to go. Especially if you have computer-savvy relatives and friends.
