    my point was that you can use old technology whenver provided it still works, you don't have to have been alive when it was introduced and such to have been able to use it (heck, i used dial-up until 2006, and i'm 16, the first pc's i ever had ran 95 and 98)

    - - - Updated - - -

    anyway, getting a part list setup for siblings (for minecraft with HD texture packs and lots of mods, skyrim, gta MP (With me), BeamNG (of course) and the ability to stream/record)

    thoughts?

    Get a cheaper motherboard. I love my 990fxa-ud3, but you can get something cheaper that does the exact same thing. The 990fxa-ud3 is good for looks because it is all black, but you wont be looking at it through that source 210 :p The GIGABYTE GA-970A will suffice for a good 40 bucks cheaper. Otherwise that looks like a great build.

    IMO any build is wrong if the motherboard is more expensive than the CPU.

    well the thing is i don't want to deal with updating bios to support vishera cpu's, hence why i chose an MB with a chipset that won't require it

    (that and i don't have a cpu i could use temporarily to update the bios anyway)

    You can't go wrong with the 990FXA anyways. Great motherboard if you don't mind spending the extra cash.

    Yes.

    Obviously, the only solution is to get a better CPU.

    Boobs are very cool. I like boobs. That is when we are in the context of female breasts, boob used to describe an idiot isn't so cool, I don't like those boobs.

    That truck has a 1 and a quarter ton frame, 1 ton axles and a 6.2 diesel. Wouldn't be quite the same :p
    Also the light it adds 10 horsepower

    Ehh. It would be fun to transform it into an offroad beast, but as for a driver... I'd never touch a truck again. A lot of fun to drive, but they guzzle gas and are a pain to park. I'd much rather have a car.

    Boobage indeed!

    I'd only buy it if I had some other car as well. I'd never want to only have a big, unreliable diesel truck as my only vehicle.
