  11. That PC can handle Witcher 3 4k MAX with no problems. I played 1000hours of witcher 3 on 4k w/ vsync on (I have to try very hard to get it to EVER dip below 60) with everything on max except hairworks (which was slightly below max), and I think AA was down one notch. This is with a 6700K and 1080ti (which totally lost the 'silicon lottery').

  12. You forgot the rgb strip lights. That could easily go for 2k plus.

  13. I think that professionals have the right to make a reasonable profit margin off their investment, not limited to just parts invested but time as well.


    I am in the business of repairing computers and installing CCTV cameras. I also build computers to sell and when I do I charge by the hour plus I have to mark up the product in order to turn a profit. If I am going to spend $4,000 in computer parts, that would not include sales tax that I would have to pay plus shipping and handling for the parts to arrive at my office, that's a $400 sales tax that I would have to pay, that brings the price up to $4,400, now shipping would probably be another $100, so I would spend $4,500. Oh, I forgot, the cost of Windows 10 Pro or Home Edition if I would like to keep the cost down, let's take the cheapest route assuming the end-user would be a home user: Windows 10 Home Edition and that goes for $139, now my total investment is up to $4,639 I would want AT LEAST $500 for my time spent professionally assembling, AND I would like at least $500 as resale for all those computer parts, so here: I am selling the computer for a profit margin AND I am including the time I spent configuring and assembling this system, all those testing, etc all that is billable. At the end of the day I might want to ask $5,600 for a system like this being only off by $400 on that guy's price and I can say that it is still perfectly reasonable to ask $6,000 for a system you just invested $4,639 in it, I would say that guy should have made that price negotiable where if he gets a counteroffer of lets say $5,800 more or less that he should accept it, he would still be making a good profit, not by as much as he originally wanted, but at least enough to make it worth it the trouble to keep on doing this type of business (building and selling computers).


    Some of your other critiques is indeed valid like being an a** on his sales ad, that "wally" or "Walmart" remark he made at the end of the ad, that was unprofessional of him to put there in my opinion. His ad should have been more neutral instead of taking an aggressive angle.

  19. i have used hardware that slowed down after winning a game of solitaire on Windows 98. The cascading cards were enough of a graphics draw to slow down the cpu. Hardcore
