@fly why not go with a Ryzen setup?

 

[Domon]

[Domon]

What @Domon said. If you can get me proc, mobo, and 16GB of RAM for $200...

edit: And I can also use QuickSync (but probably won't need it) with Intel chips.

Dude you rock. <3

Although if I get a mobo first, might I not be able to get a proc? I (clearly) know nothing about this stuff.

the mobo prices are looking a bit higher than i thought, you should validate that within your cost

How (in)compatible is this stuff? Could I get a motherboard that *only* works with that specific chip, and then spend days/weeks/months looking for the correct one?

And btw, I'm okay with a little over $200. I just really dont want to have to drop $500, if I don't have to.

The only one that might bite you is if you got a workstation or server board that required ECC or registered RAM, which would mean you couldnt use your current ram.

Does that mean that I probably shouldn't just pick up some rando Chinese board like this?

You can turn on the "new" gmail from the gear cog in all gmail accounts now by the way.

Initially... i dont hate it, which is about the best thing i could say when it comes to google product redesigns. I have a very low tolerance for their lowest common denominator bullshit design redos

Why aren't you using Inbox, pleeb?

 

[APRIL]

Btw, Inbox is awesome with the Gmelius add-on.

 

[APRIL]

It's what I use for my work email... so for you personal email people, it may not make sense.

Another awesome tool I've been using lately is DropBox Paper. https://www.dropbox.com/paper

Fucking awesome for collaboration with clients.
