I had that issue with Verizon DSL when I first moved here like 5 years ago. Connection speeds were bareley 1Mbps down.

You don't realize how important the internet is to everyday life until it's shytty as hell.

Nobody should have to deal with this shyt. I need to move to Austin where they have google fiber

talk to people who live around you and ask about their interwebs.
if folks in you neck of the woods are not complaining then you can localize the problem.

start dating cable techs..let them lay down some line....

what the fukk can I loop for an hour that uses 99% GPU the whole time?

I'm trying to test the temps on my cards to make sure the fans didn't get broken during the move.

Valley doesn't stay at 100% the whole time and neither does Firestrike combined.

I just want to quickly stress test this shyt

Edit: guess I'll just loop valley until I go to bed

Edit 2: nevermind heaven can do 3 monitors.

Yeah, I know about Rudy's from Dallas when I lived there for a minute with my dad. Haven't been back as an adult yet though. I'll have to try it out again.

Red Wasps are terrible as fukk breh. The sting hurt more than a normal sting, and I got hives all up and down my arm. The doc made me go to the ER. They said it somehow got infected and needed to take these 2 different hardcore antibiotics. shyt itches too. And left arm is still red, with the rash growing bigger, but not being as potent. I take benedryl all day, and it makes me tired as fukk. It was not a good "welcome to Houston" situation.

But at least my computer survived

I fixed that shyt though by changing out the router (I knew it had something to do with that). Look what I have now (still not great, but at least fast enough for downloading and the like):

I havent built (more like chose parts and assemble it like legos) a PC in 4 years and have been out of the hardware game for mad looong.

I just dont have the motivation to build my own, so I would like to buy a prebuilt.

I was thinking of purchasing off of Amazon but if there exist a site that caters "rigs" built for gaming could someone point me in the right direction.

I thought about upgrading my current hardware but Id rather make the switch to Intel.

I plan on using this purchase as a gaming platform since I really have no interest in consoles anymore.

you should just build it.
once you have all of the parts staring you in the face the motivation will hit you.
