It's weak, you have no idea what you are talking about
Aside from avoiding double posting within such short time and using the edit button instead, on Omnimaga you also must remain polite and respectful towards other members. With the negative post ratings enabled you would probably be at minus 3 post ratings withthis post.

Well I was not speculating, I said that because your post I quoted earlier today (or the way it was worded) was rude and offensive. I was just making sure that you be careful in the future, to avoid you staff warnings or even temp bans due to many misworded or purposely rude posts.

But you said I would probably have 3 downvotes by then. I was just pointing out that it's not necessarily going to be 3, maybe blakpilar would ignore the comment and that would only be two, presumably if you and nxtboy downvoted it
btw nxtboy, if you were offended by that, i apologize yet again

courtesy is important. even if you didn't intend something to be hurtful or insulting, if someone else sees it as such, and says so in a civil manner, you should avoid bringing it up again. such things can very easily turn into flaming and provocative comments, which are disallowed.

oh, and on a different note, you can use bbcode to clean up your links and make them more readable, like so:
Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500190]$179 GTX 560 Ti[/url]
$179 GTX 560 Ti

It would be a very good idea to wait at least a month. Intel's Ivy Bridge, Nvidia's Kepler, and the rest of AMD's Southern Islands architectures are all coming out very soon, with increases in efficiency and power.

Are you wondering who Sammy is? My avatar is Sammy.

True, I wasn't counting that in as I assumed that he wanted it now and couldn't wait, but probably in reality it isn't that way :P

A 3.0 GHz processor isn't weak at all - my fastest computer here has a 1.6 GHz w/ ~2Gb RAM, and while it's not that fastest, I only ever notice it when I'm playing Minecraft. If you purchase everything detailed in your first post, as far as I can see, you can't go wrong.
Completed Projects:
   >> Spacky Emprise   >> Spacky 2 - Beta   >> Fantastic Sam
   >> An Exercise In Futility   >> GeoCore

My Current Projects:

Projects in Development:
In Medias Res - Contest Entry

Talk to me if you need help with Axe coding.


Spoiler For Bragging Rights:
Not much yet, hopefully this section will grow soon with time (and more contests)
