      So my entire career has revolved around cyber security, and Firefox walks circles around Chrome in terms of security. In every test I've done, Firefox has been just as fast, if not faster, than Chrome. The real difference is when you have multiple tabs open. You can have about double the amount of Firefox tabs open than Chrome tabs. The optimization on Firefox is just better.
      Google has gotten pretty lazy with Chrome, and I hate all the tracking they force on you. If you're okay with Google knowing everything about you, then go ahead and use Chrome. But if you're like me and prefer a browser that doesn't shamelessly spy on you, Firefox is the way to go.

      because you dont need more then 1080p, ok if you want to enjoy a game and get everything out of the graphic then go in 4k or higher but do not lower the graphic then because increase resulotion to have better graphic but decrease the graphic itself is brainless. But there is a reason why Kompetetive gamers are playing on 1080p monitors and not on 1440p or 4k because of the refreshrate of the monitors.

    @CarthagoMike Před 4 lety +2

    I discovered long ago that if you want a mass-produced machine that is actually quite decent in both hardware and software, the higher-tier office-workstation pc's are the way to go.
    They are often well-build and low-profile (no flashy lights or sticking-out plastic bits) since they are for the office environment, and they rarely include any bloatware (aside from the free-trial virus-scanner that you can uninstall in 5min time), probably because they know companies are brand-loyal, so they don't want to scare them away with bloated software.
    Ofcourse if you have the option of built to order from a well-reviewed / trusted builder, I would certainly recommend it, but if that option isn't there or you just want an off-the-shelf pc, what I typed above would, in my experience, be your best bet.

It just has a little Ryzen 17 3.14159xV1 CPU, an AMD 13,690xt GPU, 7,000 watt PSU and the 3.14159v2 motherboard to complete the other components. I also went with the Home Depot cooling system for it, because I figured an industrial fan would keep it under 5,700 Kelvins. I mean, I really don't want the heat of the sun to tear up my GPU or anything..I just want to do some 27k gaming on my 699mhz 27k ACER Monitor. I know it doesn't sound that great or anything, but should be able to get 700FPS with it. Hopefully, this modest build will give me the edge I need to be an "Alpha Protocol Pro". The scene is intense, so I really don't know if I have what ittakes, but wish me luck, man...

    I use firefox and comodo ice dragon cause chrome was giving me a 'non responding' error many times and hour and would freeze up. i tried 'Brave' another chromium based browser and that did same thing. So I use non-chromium based browsers. My computer overall works better, doesnt crash nearly as much as it had been.

    The most important aspect of the Acer is it being at Best Buy on the shelf. You can buy it and have it home today, and you can take it back to Best Buy if something is amiss. There will always be a market for that even if not the best value. That being said, I've never understood why Microsoft gives such prebuild companies them cheap/free windows installs when they know they will load them up with bloatware and make the windows experience bad.

    By the way Dawid. The '1337' is from the early to mid 00's. It's number terminology for the world 'leet', which is slang for 'elite'. It was used in a lot of FPS online games back then like Counter Strike 1.6 and Unreal 2004 and BF2 and such. Just in case you were curious.

    Something that needs to be said is that the higher-end one having an NVMe SSD is totally irrelevant for your average gamer, as NVMe SSDs load games virtually no faster than SATA SSDs. It's one of those facts that many refuse to acknowledge/accept, but the proof is there via a plethora of benchmarks/videos. What NVMe SSDs are superior in is moving large files, but most people don't care about that, anyway. However, I'd still take that PC, of course. I'd just grab a 2-terabyte SSD and put it in.

    I found a great price on a pre built, it was actually cheaper than getting all the parts separately and building it myself, it was a built to order so I changed a few of the specs like the power supply and stuff and then they built it and sent it out to me, I already had bought a 6750 XT and I just added that myself when it arrived.

    I'm guessing you filmed this video before the news broke that Zen 3 will not be compatible with 300 and 400 series motherboards so the future proofing part about the AM4 socket does lose a bit of its shine as it does have a limit at the Zen 2 Ryzen CPUs. Still since that's a fairly good B450 motherboard there will be no issues putting a 3700x or even a 3900x down the line, so this particular 1337 pre-built is a really good option at that price point for people looking to getting into PC gaming but do not want to build themselves. Plus you get the ease of mind of only having to deal with one company if anything were to go wrong.

    Personally I find it really quite frustrating that cases these days are forging space for a DVD drive, especially the smaller ones which would be suited to media PCs. Now I know space is at a premium so why not offer the option for a laptop style DVD drive in the case? I have a large DVD collection I still like to watch, as well as many games that come on disc and require it in the drive in order to be able to play.
    It's just so much more convenient to pop the disc in to watch a movie or play the game than having to spend time ripping the movies & TV shows (having the requisite hard drive space to store them all) and having to visit dodgy sites to try and track down a no-CD crack.
    Also I know others have mentioned it but I feel compelled to as well. 1337 = leet = Elite. It seems leetspeak is a thing of the past.

      Laptop dvd drives have a tendency to damage discs. The spring loaded tabs on the hub can crack the plastic around the center hole which is permanent. Standard drives do not have these tabs and instead employ a soft magnetic means of retention at the hub. This gentle clamping of the disc almost completely removes the likelihood of damage.
