Freezer7Pro: I don't come here a lot anymore.; +1,447|6462|Winland

I'm strongly considering a 780i, E8500 and two more 8800GTs.

Main purpose for the upgrade is folding and stability, as my current rig is a poor producer (<7kPPD) and is an unstable piece of fuck due to poor mobo (Which I got for free, lol).

I can get a new 780i for 180€, CPU (E8500) around 150-180, and 8800GTs or 9800GTs for about 100€ a piece. If overpriced i7 and shity ATI are out of the question, would this be a good plan?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Instead of two 8800GT's, get a single GTX260.

I knew I was different than other kids... now I know what the difference was.

edit it will suit your needs well. Good for F@H and should you want to game, u would certainly have the muscle to do it. And knowing you that CPU will be OC'ed preeeeettttttttyyyyy high which makes it pretty awsome.

just be careful when picking the 780i mobo tho. There are some very funky compatibility and stability issues with those boards.

Because that wouldn't do anything else than provoke more corruption and downfall in the countries supported by charity. Sending food there isn't gonna help, and the people who run the charity need to realize that the people in those places need to learn how to use their land to grow crops, and by doing so learn to actually start rebuilding the place instead of sucking on the breast of the rich man in the north.

Yeah. I don't like charity.

So you'd prefer to fold at the attempt of curing cancer rather than sending money which turns into food which saves people from dying from starvation?

Gotcha

No, you didn't.

What's been happening in the poor countries like Africa, and still is, is that X charity organization sends food, people eat food and feel bad about themselves. Get more food, repeat. They aren't gonna get anywhere in the long shot. The UMPC and such initiatives are good, but they're way overhyped, and aren't doing much more than creating PR for ASUS and X other UMPC/sub-notebook manufacturer.

What they need to do is provide enough supplies for people to survive, and spend twice as much resources on teaching them how to survive for themselves. They need tractors and other farm equipment as well as the proper education to use those.

When I know they spend most money on that, then I'll donate to charity.

And no matter what, this money is there to provide an awesome entertainment machine for me. I'm just kind enough to use it for charity when I'm not using it personally.

(Nazism - Africa isn't a country; and South Africa is rather rich)

Countries in Africa can't get anywhere in the long run because of debt. To repay original debts they have to borrow more from other countries, with large interest rates attached to them. They can't do anything but accept it. It's a loop that is incandescendly hard to get out of. Charities work on donations, the only reason they can "provide enough supplies for people" is if people donate to them. I was suggesting that if you donate to them you'll help just that (you can still fold).

They do get tractors and farm equipment, but again they will only last so long. All you need to do is go on to a charity's website and you will read about how they have turned around villages with new schools and equipment. It's great to see.

I find it ironic that you say "I don't like charity" and yet you call folding "charity".

In terms of gaming performance, you should get a GTX260 instead of two 8800GT's.
