|
Jun 14th 2013 | 1
|
 these prices are misleading. |
|
Jun 14th 2013 | 3
|
| Yeah, they were in-store only |
|

|
Jun 14th 2013 | 2
|
 recommendations? |
|
Jun 14th 2013 | 4
|
| wouldn't suggest AMDs for video editing work. |
|
Jun 17th 2013 | 13
|
| What's your experience with 'em been? |
|
Jul 06th 2013 | 53

|
| Why not just get a Dell then? |
|
Jun 17th 2013 | 8
|
| its still gonna be $1200 |
|
Jun 17th 2013 | 10
|
| If you are not gaming you should just stick with a Haswell IGP |
|

| i'm not gaming primarily but its still a workstation |

| made some small tweaks to my list |
|
Jun 17th 2013 | 15
|
| Looks good. I almost never recommend an i7 |
|
Jun 17th 2013 | 16
|
| aight. how about this |
|
Jun 18th 2013 | 17
|
| That's a beastly build |

|
| Yeah, I read that already, and your list includes a $400 gaming GPU |
|
Jun 19th 2013 | 28
|
| I'm guessing he should be looking at Quadro cards |
|
Jun 19th 2013 | 29

| You DO need the power, just different TYPE of power... |
|

|
Jun 20th 2013 | 35
|

| I think GB of GPU memory is overrated for gaming |
|
Jul 08th 2013 | 55
|
| That's kind of what I was thinking. |
|
Jul 15th 2013 | 62
|
| For gaming, I'd actually recommend at least 2 (more like 3) |
|
Jul 15th 2013 | 65
|
| I went with 2, max res 1920x1080. I'm gamer lite. |
