    I just found a random 16 gig flash drive in my desk.
    This is ok, I'm fine with this.

    Yay, my the mic on my Siberia V2's broke and now I have to use this Turtle Beach PX21 headset. Only problem is that the headphones are picking up interference, like when I move my mouse there's a high pitched buzzing noise, which gets louder when moving the mouse faster.

    I am a software hoarder, if i own it then i must have it installed just in case i fancy playing it sometime. So i have every game that i have ever played on this computer still installed. Its kinda bad. I have cleaned this computer so many times now in order to gain more space that i have pretty much ran out of things to delete. But...

    If anyone knows of some good photo management software then i could appreciate that, i am pretty sure i have quite a few duplicate photos all around this PC and having something or some way of making sure that there is only a single copy of each would be rather nice to have.

    my 2015 pc goals

    GTX 970 mini-itx & corsair cx500m
    1080P Monitor(s)
    Corsair Vengeance C70 in Military Green
    New Motherboard
    More HDD's, possibly an SSD
    Corsair K70 RGB Mechanical Keyboard
    Logitech g700s wired/wireless gaming mouse
    Corsair H105 AIO liquid cooler

    Overboard on polygons I know, it's because I set the "Horizontal steps" so high. But yey it's fixed :).

    Since I'm planning on teaming up with someone to create a game in the near future, and it's planned to be in a city setting, I'm going to be creating several types of generators (highways, divided roads, ramps, etc)

    PC goals 2015:
    Buy all the things.

    I've also managed to find a few 4GB, 3 8GB, 1 16GB, and 1 32GB flashdrive. Neat. Nothing on them except the 16GB which had Dr Who and a few YouTube videos of my band. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I think I've got 6 games. Maybe 7. If I have extra money after the SSD I'm going to be buying more games.

    Also, a list of books not to read if you don't want emotional trauma.

    2015 PC Goals:
    • Get Oculus Rift
    • Play GTA5
    • Do both at the same time

    I did want to get an SSD but i now know that i would not realistically be able to move my OS onto one without taking the rest of the hard drive with it. So instead i shall wait until larger SSD's come down in price. If a 512GB one becomes affordable in the future i may be tempted. Maybe i will get a second 1TB drive, Move all of my steam games onto it, and then it will be easy to clone the OS over.

    It renders faster than my i5.

    Rendering is like server work. It favors more, slower cores than fewer, faster ones.

    If that is the case with the software you use then get a GPU to do it. It will be faster than either.

    It has 6 cores but only 3 floating point units, while the i5 has 4.

    Particularly important when video work hammers FPU usage.
