Due to recent events, I have approximately $2000 to spend on a new gaming machine, the goal of which is to have a machine that can run high quality VR. And vidya. And developer shit. So kind of an all arounder, but VR needs to fucking happen.
Last time I asked here, I was checking out a Razer laptop with an EGPU. Specs were respectable, reviews were good and I liked the idea of a powerful machine I could just plug in at home and play anything and everything.
Well, then I happened along pic related. That is an AIO machine with user serviceable, discrete components, all tucked into a 34" curved 3440x1440 display. Considering I'm going for a monitor upgrade anyways, this is tempting. I've customized the default build as follows, for a price of $2546. I could probably shave $500 off by tiering down on the memory and GPU.

I see one killer here, and that's USB2. And only two ports at that, which means I'd have to run everything through a hub...
>$2500 for an i5 and 1070
I was able to shop around and get an i7 6800k and 1080 for under $1900. Unless the novelty of the aio is worth almost $1k to you, just get a tower. You should be able to fill an ncase m1 with a 6700k and gtx1080 for less than that even after getting a high res ultrawide monitor if you want something almost as sleek and compact.
But an aio with that much shit in it is pretty neat so do you senpai.
>>56195931
that pic related is a retarded and pointless idea. Who ever thought it's a good idea to shove everything inside a monitor? Makes no fucking sense at all. Just a gimmick to impress CS girls.
i plan on building my first pc.
and im very confused about the OS.
Ive heard a lot of stuff about how windows10 is an information mining Botnet,and im convinced,i want to avoid it.
but ive heard it is superior for video games.
im a gaymer myself,but wouldnt care if the performance lost isnt much.
Thus im thinking of installing windows7.
It's the best choice right? for an almost total noob,right?
does it also include some of win10's botnet features? or is it pretty good?
sorry for being such an unexperienced newfaggot
OP here. Never mind, I found all the info by googling.
Sorry for making this useless thread.
>>56195977
this is not op,i am op
i am a giant faggot,i want help
Ever run across a guy that insults himself regularly? Ever want to hang out with him? Never run into him? That's because you are him, grow a spine and ask a question without belittling yourself. That being said 10 is garbage fit gaming.

How come people complain about having to use the keyboard in vim when you can just enable the mouse and act as dumb as you want?
Because people who complain about vim don't know how to use vim and don't care to learn how to enable things

A. GTX 1060 and resign to my fate until it's time to upgrade. G-Sync not an option.
B. RX480 leaving me with the option to pick another one up for around $150 in a year or two. Might consider a 75 hz if there's a good Black Friday deal.
wat do
yes t.poorfag
>>56195538
*75 Hz Freesync
What are the prices?

Hi /g/uys
Not so easy question on a sunday. What are good WIFI adaptors for w@rdriving and stationary Grid-Antennas?
Insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

long range coverage
There are so fugging many on the market. I have no clue which one might be suiteable. Alfas look good, but which model?
Can anybody please recommend a good wirelessadaptor

Good deal on programming books.
Those aren't programming books.
They're """""coding""" books.
>>56195191
what's the difference?
>>56195120
> $15
Just buy a single book for the programming language you want to learn. Most of these books don't seem to be useful at all.
Your internet.
Im selling it to china.

>> Not realizing that he's making it independent, as such protecting it from a trump presidency.
Obama knows Trump is going to win, so he's protecting the world's most valuable resources. It was only a couple of years ago that the Republicans tried to murder the Internet by making it nonfree. Barack remembers.

IF someone is unable to pay 5-10 dollars for a VPN service is there any free alternatives?
Yes, use chinese botnet filters
Tor
Look into riseup.net they offer email as well as VPN based out of seattle
Why do people (read: women and nu-males) love this utter shit language so much?
The same reason why neckbeards love C.
It's the first language they learn and they think they have the right to write everything in that language because they know it top to bottom.

Because it's super common. Popularity spreads, bro.
I plan on learning Dart, apparently it is a good alternative?
