I remember the first time my folks took me skiing at Breckenridge, they gave me lots of grief because I ran full speed into a "SLOW" sign, demolishing it. I was of the opinion that plowing was for nancies, and I'd stop when I hit something.
Welp, after years of thinking about it, I'll finally be joining the PC master race this year. Thanks to a bunch of Black Friday deals and a friend who works at Newegg I was able to piece together a fairly solid gaming rig for sub-$350.
Now I just need to wait until Christmas to put it together and use it.

A camera that IS its own wifi host (router and hotspot didn't sound right as I doubt it's a gateway to the internet). What a time to be alive.My new camera makes it's own wifi network and I can link my iPad to it and control my focus, settings and shutter from it!!
Oh camera nerd joy!
Why do you need a camera?Did I just hear you say, "I'm giving my old camera to stienman!" ?
Been able to do the ad-hoc thing with 3rd-party SDHC cards for a long time now. About time the camera manufacturers finally woke up and stopped their "make a controller that only works with this one camera" crap.A camera that IS its own wifi host (router and hotspot didn't sound right as I doubt it's a gateway to the internet). What a time to be alive.
It asked me to name my camera and now "my baby" is a wifi option for both my phone and iPad. I have no idea if it's a proper surfing the web connection though.A camera that IS its own wifi host (router and hotspot didn't sound right as I doubt it's a gateway to the internet).

Bachelorette 41.What's your title?
Remember what memory that is, you'll want to get another one exactly like it later to speed things up. That processor still supports two memory channels, so you can gang 'em together for increased performance (above and beyond what you get from just doubling your RAM) once you scrape together another $45.Sadness: my wife is going to be gone and stressed out most of next week due to final exams.
Consolation prize (and epic win): she decided to let me make and play with my Christmas present early. Behold: The Budget Beast!
PC has been assembled; now I'm just waiting for Alien: Isolation, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Outlast to install!
Assistant Production Coordinator. Next season I might move up to a production coordinator!What's your title?
It really is an awesome little processor. I've overclocked it to 4.1 GHz on the stock cooler and it's hovering right around 60C.Remember what memory that is, you'll want to get another one exactly like it later to speed things up.

Incidentally, for anyone else looking to build a system, if you don't actually need three or more cores for whatever you're planning on doing, the G3258 is THE processor to have right now.
