I can't complain about my 2014 year. Though 2015 is going to be scary. I'll be going to an out of state college most likely. Savannah College of Art and Design it's looking like so far. Hooray for $33,000 a year tuition.
$33,000?! O_O I only pay £9,000 a year for mine.

How's your year been? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Absolute shite? Mine was, well, first half was shit. Broke up with my girlfriend of two years on the 5th of January so that set the scene early for my year. I didn't really like this at year University either. Not got many (any?) proper friends, work has been a drag, took a hit right in the love from a girl I like, dissapointed myself with not working hard enough at uni, AGAIN! xD Good things? Got my first proper motorbike, got a work placement and possibly a future job doing live sound engineering, which is something I want to do. Can't think of too much that was good about my year. Could be worse, I suppose. I could have Ebola, cancer, be homeless, gotten raped, stabbed, killed etc Hope your year was a good one

About time. It'll be interesting to see how many people will abuse the fuck out of it.

Okay what the actual fuck Adam. Are you like, a millionair?
I thought I was rich and got myself expensive things throughout 2014... But this is just over the top.
Took me hours to put it together lol. Took hours to replace a motherboard and CPU? I remember when I had to replace my motherboard and CPU as well as install an SSD, it only took me a couple of minutes for the hardware, but I was struggling with the software part because my PC didn't boot properly because of the new CPU cooler which had some problems with fan speeds in the BIOS.
Speaking of which, I hope to god you either already had, or included a better CPU cooler with that monster 4790k. Because default CPU cooler = NOPE!
As for my "presents". Me and my bro are alone with christmas this year because our parents are on vacation in Check Republic and we didn't want to come. So we decided to keep it cheap this year and only get each other $50 worth of presents. Sooo I got him Pokemon Alpha Sapphire or whatever the name was, and some steam games. And he got my SSB4 for the Wii-U and some other things.
However, if we were to include shit we got for ourselves throughout the year, I can add some more stuff. (Just to keep this post at least a bit interesting  )
I'll add some pics later today when I'm home if you want.
- ASUS Maximus Hero VI
- Intel i7 4770k
- 256GB SSD
- Razor Kraken 7.1 Headset
- DJI Phantom2 Vision+ drone
- Oculus Rift DK2
Aaaand that's about it.
It was mainly software related but it took me about 2 hours lmao. I went very slow because I wasn't trying to fuck up.
Oh and after Christmas I'm ordering one of em corsair water cooled CPU coolers so don't worry about it bb
The H60? That's the one I have and it works well. Much recommend. Very affordable. wow

Accident on my motorbike. First hour that I got it, I was pulling into a lay-by and I think I must have snatched the front brake. The bike weighs 182 kilo's without fuel. Dunno how much it weighs with 13 litres in it. Anyway I snatched the brake and the full weight of it landed on my right leg and knee and banged up my shoulder and elbow quite nicely. They took about a month to heal and I was stiff for a few days afterwards.
Also got hit while I was on my old scooter a few years ago and my knee still clicks from hitting the road after toppling over the bitches bonnet.
Also hurting the same knee on an escalator. You know how the steps have teeth? My full weight + those teeth = pain, blood and a scar I still have. Luckily I was in a clothing store and they gave me a new pair of jeans since mine had a huge rip in them.

but the R9 GPUs all have issues with overheating and power consumption being really high so its a widespread problem unless your GPU was underclocked
My 270x is the over-clocked edition (are they all over-clocked?). I read somewhere that it can cause voltage issues which can show as the symptoms I have. I'm sure yours is fine, Tyrion. Just depends on whether you're lucky enough to get one that isn't defective/unlucky enough to get one that is >.<

The R9 series is basically the 7xxx series with some bits changed or altered which is a sneaky strategy by AMD but ultimately the power consumption and heat generated from the cards compared to the actual processing power compared to the 7xx series Nvidia or the newest 9xx series really isn't that good.
Unless you are wanting to go into crypto mining then I would now recommend avoiding this card, especially when the 7xx series NVIDIA cards dropped in price so much due to the newest 9xx cards.
For anyone looking into buying this card, you should be aiming at buying it for at least under £120 in a used condition, although again it depends how long and how much it was used.
I bought mine for£170. It's now down to £150 RRP so I would say lower than £120 if it's got a few good months of use. I have an R9 270x myself and I'm not experiencing many issues with it at all. I've had it for a little over a year and it runs like a dream. I don't have extraordinary cooling or anything either.
Not saying they're all shit, but this one certainly is lol.

I hope you got Roffledouche's go-ahead first :/ 6. This is an obvious one but do not advertise anything unless given permission by RoflWaffle. Anyway, the R9 270x is a fucking piece of dogshit. Had mine for less than 9 months and it's already fucking up. The screen flickers like mad (very very distracting, sometimes to the point of unplayability) if I am playing a game that requires even only a small amount of the power that the 270x can give. Not only that but on some games you get purple dots flashing on the screen (BFBC2). This is a common symptom with the R9 200 series GPUs. In fact if you look the symptoms up on google or youtube, they are the first GPUs listed. It also gets EXTREMELY hot. I know GPUs do tend to get a bit toasty, but this needs is in serious need of a water cooler, which it doesn't have. I got mine for £170. Not. Fucking. Worth. It! I will be sending mine back for a full refund and I will be getting a GPU that isn't shit.

I just bought the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. The Corsair looked nice but it didn't have as much going for it as the G502. It's more expensive but hopefully it will last me long enough to offset the expense.
Feel free to keep chatting about DPI, you fucking nerds 
yea its a pretty dope mouse, youll enjoy it
Only things is, I have large hands so I dunno if it's small or not. If it's the same size or bigger than my MX518 then it'll be right.
I dunno how you hold the mouse but the way(s) I do is is kinda weird.
I leave my DPI at least 2500(although I'm training my hand to go up to higher DPI in the 3000's) so I'm able to bring my pointer from one side of the screen to the other without having to move my hand. I let the boney thing sticking out on my wrist lay on the mousepad and then I just flick the mouse around without having to actually move my whole hand/arm. The only parts that actually touch the mouse is my thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and pinky to grip the side of the mouse for more control(it's amazing how much it helps) and the lower part of my hand just barely touches it. The rest just hovers above it.
I dunno if it means my mouse is to small/big but lemme tell ya, it really does do wonders the way I hold it. I have tons of control over it and so I'm able to quickly flick around.
I might try that technique.
