    - why not just an nvidia shield connected to your new pc? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 12:15
  - are Nuc even still a thing? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:28 1
    - Yup. I'm running one for HA at home now but they even make gaming versions -- (link) - oblique Nov 18, 11:30
- Wait, also consider a slightly better PSU to handle power spikes when system under load -- nm - budice Nov 18, 11:25 2
  - I can get the 750W for $90. The card says 650W minimum but the 750 is a good idea -- nm* - oblique Nov 18, 11:36
  - yeah that too. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:26
- why bother with the Z790 vs a B760, unless you are going to overclock for minimal returns? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:24 9
  - Good point. I've had the Z790 in the build for such a while I basically forgot the B760 is an option -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 11:30
  - also is there a real performance difference between the 12gb super vs 12gb nonsuper? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:26 7
    - The specs I saw said it was about a 20% improvement for the super -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 11:29 5

        for graphics yes, for CPU's amd is winning in a lot of ways right now. - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:47
        
        if I was building a pc now, I might consider an AMD processor, but would still most likely go with Intel for the Graphics card - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:45
    - "Well, see, this one's super." -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 18, 11:29
- 1) Wait for a better deal 2) You'll use the processor a lot more than the card. So, I'd want the i7 (we have an i9) over the super. -- nm - David Nov 18, 11:16 1
  - Most of what I've read indicates the opposite for gaming. Card over CPU. The only thing I'm really doing with the PC outside of gaming is - oblique Nov 18, 11:18

- Laws, that's beyond excessive. I've always hated superlong finales. -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 18, 10:25 12
  - I agree. I also think the 90 minute weekly episodes are too much. Maybe for week 1 as a special event but that's it. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 18, 10:34 8
    - Weird, I love the 90 minute episodes. I like getting more camp life and strategy talk. nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 18, 10:48 6
