    GOD DAMNIT! We were so close! We almost made it through the nighttime laptop conversation without mentioning it! AHH! WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT ACHIEVEMENT NOW!

    Ordered a second R9 270. Hopefully it won't blow up my PSU.

    I'm contemplating between an R9 270X, a reference HD 7850, or a used 7870/7850.

    I can crossfire with all. Hmm...

    Me neither.
    I have a phone too.

    Some people seem to need a bit of sleep. Not me, I go to bed at 3-5 am. Every day.
    Sleep is for the weak.

    I got the 270 for $110 used. Pretty good deal IMO. The only real reason I have for buying a second instead of getting something better is because I already have one.

    If it's a 500W, unless it's 80+ gold/platinum it will blow up.
    A 500W PSU at 85% efficiency, you get ~430W. Two R9 270s, an overclocked FX-8320 plus motherboard, hard drives etc. will use more than 430W at peak load. My PC needs ~450 and I'm running a single 270 and a much more efficient Intel CPU.

    Get an R9 270. Don't buy a 270X, you can easily OC a 270 to 1050 MHz with no stability issues. An overclocked 270 or a 270X gets slightly better performance than a 7870.
    And definitely don't buy the reference 7850, it will burn and explode because AMD reference cooler.


    I love typing on this keyboard. It's great.

    Be Quiet 500w. It's Bronze. :L

    If it dies I'll RMA it and then buy a 650w Corsair.

    You can't draw 500W+ from a PSU that can only deliver up to 430 and expect it to work.

    On youtube, I just got explained, in 2 very long paragraphs, why I'm too young to buy a crown vic.
    He pretty much told me that he knows my finances better than me and I can't afford the car because I'm 14, then went on to continuously refer to it as a "V8 muscle car", and even one time told me "it's a man's car not a kids car".
    Then, just to rub salt in the wound, he told me to buy, his exact words, an "econobox" and drive that until I'm 18 and "mature enough to handle the power of a v8"
    I told him, in as eloquent of a way as I could to go f*ck himself.
    I normally don't censor myself around here, but I've received far too many infractions for language and I'm trying to clean it up a little. :(

    that means you looked at youtube comments, which is something you should NEVER do, youtube comments are toxic AT BEST, not to mention how idiotic some, wait no, MOST commenters are

    It's kinda strange that it was a fellow crown vic enthusiast, who I see constantly commenting on crown vic videos and such. He usually makes mature, informative comments with good grammar. This was the opposite. I think he was just trying to piss me off, but whatever.
    But, yes, youtube comments are toxic.

    Same reason a week ago a rather famous 18 year old german football star killed himself with his newly bought 500 PS Porsche or what it was.
