    Also forgot to mention that the G502 can take quite a beating without damage. since I play a lot of CS:GO with a insanely low sensitivity (0.9 w/ 800 dpi) I tend to smash the bloody thing up on the stand of my right monitor, all of my monitors are not centered in the desk, happened over the years of re adjusting, moving, etc, too lazy to fix it.

    But the point is that its been practicly thrown at a wall and I can't see a single dent / chip in it at all, I'm very happy that by the looks of things this mouse will last me a very long time, that's if the cable doesn't go on me, annoyingly during shipping / packaging, the cable got a kink in it and its stuck kinked I can un twist it just for it go back to kinking again, and its torn off the breaded cable on it, so now its exposed in that area :(

    With canned air, 30 seconds should be okay.

    A cable can always be re-soldered. It's not too hard. I'm sure you can find a replacement cable too.

    My phone contract is almost up, and I have plans on buying a LG G4 when I switch carriers. Anything I should know before I make the decision? I'm coming from a iPhone 5C, and my main wants/needs are a replaceable battery, expandable storage, a good camera, and decent battery life.

    Well, if it breaks it'll be replaced!

    Get one of those 1990's phones, I'm sure they are big enough to put in a new battery from todays technology, I'm sure you'll only have to charge it once a month!

    How well would BeamNG run on this:

    -Intel I5-6500 4 core
    -ASUS B150M-A-D3 Motherboard
    -GeForce 960 2gb video card
    -Kingston HyperX 16gb (2x8gb) memory
    -250gb SSD & 1TB HDD
    -500w Power Supp.
    - WIndows 8.1

    I am building this so I just to know for sure. Thanks.

    Don't expect stellar performance, but you should be able to play it fine.

    Nope. The i5 is much much better. You might get slightly better multi-threaded performance from the AMD CPU, but single-thread performance (what actually matters for gaming) is terrible on AMD CPUs, and floating point performance is a joke since they share a single FPU per two cores.

    I'm the one with sub-stellar performance. All you guys with Core i5's and i7's and FX-series CPUs have stellar performance. Mine is just ehhhh...

    That will run pretty good actually, you have a decent CPU and a decent GPU so it'll be fine.

    Ok that's pretty cool, even that (if i got it right) that you have 2 with 4Gb memory each, it turns them to "one" and you have 8Gb memory now.
