A lot of people complained that my 900D is a bit too big for a single card...What in the flying frack kind of reason is that?!

And those people also understand/know that your parents foot the bill, right? I get the feeling that would make a difference...A lot of people complained that my 900D is a bit too big for a single card...
Weren't you already complaining about having no money?just so that the case looks less empty
#spendthatmoneyWeren't you already complaining about having no money?
Are you familiar with the concept of cause and effect?
A few weeks ago you said you had no money to buy games. Now you're buying a second 1080 when there is absolutely no reason to?I just want to keep up with technology. But when the Ti comes out I'll go SLI with my 1080 instead of the Ti, just so that the case looks less empty. Plus the 1080 price will probably drop.
But it'll fill up space in his case.A few weeks ago you said you had no money to buy games. Now you're buying a second 1080 when there is absolutely no reason to?
I said I will buy a second 1080 when the 1080 Ti comes out. That will be a couple of months from now.A few weeks ago you said you had no money to buy games. Now you're buying a second 1080 when there is absolutely no reason to?
So you can't afford $60 now, but in a couple months you can afford a second $650 card?I said I will buy a second 1080 when the 1080 Ti comes out. That will be a couple of months from now.
Yes because I will get some money as a gift for my bday next month from friendsSo you can't afford $60 now, but in a couple months you can afford a second $650 card?
Splitting hairs here, really.I said I will buy a second 1080 when the 1080 Ti comes out. That will be a couple of months from now.
I know right? The logic is infallible /sSo you can't afford $60 now, but in a couple months you can afford a second $650 card?
I just want to keep up with technology. But when the Ti comes out I'll go SLI with my 1080 instead of the Ti, just so that the case looks less empty. Plus the 1080 price will probably drop.
Maybe that's a wakeup call to start a savings plan towards a new computer.That 1080 is more valuable than my computer
Maybe that's a wakeup call that your graphics card is grossly overpriced.Maybe that's a wakeup call to start a savings plan towards a new computer.
It's still $700ish in the US, which is still probably about the value of my machine.Everything's overpriced in Canada though, so you're not saying much.
That's like asking why I spent 1000$ on a watercooling loop just to get 100-200mhz more vs a 100$ AIO. This is just what makes me happy, it's weird but it's true. And of course I also want to add some MSAA to GTA 5 and break 20k in Firestrike. There are people who spent way more than I did, why don't you go and bash them?Can you even conceptualize the fact that you're talking about spending $800 to FILL SPACE IN A CASE BECAUSE IT LOOKS EMPTY.
You're a kid, you play video games, and your parents pay for it. Cool. That's common and how many of us were when younger, hell my parents still pay for a good chunk of my living expenses. That is absolutely zero excuse for you to piss away money just because you can. You're actually saying you want to spend the amount of money I make in several weeks TO FILL SOME FRIGGIN SPACE IN A CASE. Come on. I get that your parents give you money, or your friends, but you gotta learn when to just take what you have and save or do something productive with the money.
You spent $1,000 on a watercooling setup for a small gain in overclocking? Wow... You do realize you don't need to spend every dollar someone gives you right? You can save them for a large purchase.That's like asking why I spent 1000$ on a watercooling loop just to get 100-200mhz more vs a 100$ AIO.

My actions are different from what I'm about to say, and I need to start listening to my own advice.My dad is rich as balls, but he said something to me when I was very young that I still remember to this day.
"Just because you have a lot of money, doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of money".
The way I interpret it is basically to look for value in the things you buy.
Like I said I'm not the only one who has a watercooling loop. And this computer was the "large purchase"You spent $1,000 on a watercooling setup for a small gain in overclocking? Wow...
