I will begin:

My new Gaming PC :D

Specs:

AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz (Factory clock)
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz RAM
1TB HDD
AMD R9 270 2GB (Runs most games at Ultra, Crysis 3 shits on it)
450W PSU
and the other things...

I also got some body wash deodorant and those other things :D

maybe when idle, but under load it might be asking a bit too much of it

Been playing games on ultra and doing lots of stuff at same time, seems fine.

pics? that sounds pretty awesome

Ok:
Click to see the original size.Click to see the original size.

The only downside is that you have to stack them perfectly or else their contacts might not touch so some of the blocks won't turn on. And since the voltage goes into the blue block at the bottom, the higher you stack them the less bright they become. :P

Going to play BF4 it's rumored to run at a smooth 55-60 fps on Ultra. I will investigate soon.

Damn, beat me to it.

Anyways, I got a SteelSeries Merc Stealth keyboard, some chocolate, and an Nvidia GeForce GT 610. Not the best graphics card ever, but it outperforms my previous one.

EDIT: My mom gave me a $50 FutureShop gift card, which I'm likely gonna spend on a small second monitor, all the while taking advantage of Boxing Day sales.

Merry Christmas. Man that sucks. Get some revenge and be passive aggressive. That shits evil and so satisfying.
