i get a billion fps in minesweeper

How cool???? I can't get over how great my air cooling is but I must know if it's better than water

I've been slowly building a new computer (gasp!).  But some MSI z87-g45 motherboard and the tower.  Planning to put a 3.2 i5 and some other poo poo in it so I could get somewhat modern.  Mainly just wanted to finally see what it's like to play the STALKER series at a constant 60+ FPS.

use one of the dozens of 90s GPUs you keep around

play it on the vectrex

Vectrex rules.  Very sharp screen.  But in all seriousness, the newest card I have is a 7800 GTX 512MB.  It can play STALKER at reasonable frame rates with object dlights on.

I was looking into getting a GTX 760 or whatever it's called now.  I thougt the prices would drop on the i5's and that GTX card after summer since there was supposed to be slightly higher clocked versions of all this poo poo but the prices are exactly the same between the new parts and last seasons parts.

might as well get all the best poo poo then

I'm not interested in spending $500 on Ultra/eXTREME video cards again.

You can get a GTX 970 for $330

thats a lotta DOUGH!!!

Tangentially related:

I recently bought a new mic to complete my gaming setup. After hours of searching I settled on the Antlion Modmic. I'm on mobile so I can't post pics but basically it attaches via a magnet that you place on your headphones to turn it into a full functioning headset. The sound quality is very good and it works so much better than a gaming headset or your average lapel mic.

The reason I post this is because you can currently buy the mic on Massdrop $35 which is $15 off the normal price. Today is the last day though so act now!!!
