Grow a pair and do what you want.

My pair is just fine, but in case you dont know marriage is an equal equal thing.

And at times a gaming pc is not the priority of the month.

So what, you don't let her enjoy her hobbies either?

I used to be an AMD fanboy until a couple years ago. Their price to performance ratio used to be fantastic, but now it is only meh. I rebuilt my box around an i-5 and a Z75 chipset mobo and it smokes anything AMD can put out in that range. Truly, the ivy bridge i-5's are the best chip for gaming out there right now. And with the right mobo you can unlock even the non-k chips.

With the 27" full HD monitor and SSD I have about $1200 invested. And it runs every game I play on ultra, Skyrim included.

It's not about the parts, but how they work together. Here's my setup:

Intel i-5 3470
Asrock Z75 pro 3
8 GB (2X4) GSkill Ripjaws DDR3 1600
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB
Zalman Z5 case
Corsair CX 750 PSU
Crucial M500 240 GB SSD
WD Blue 500 GB HD
2X LG DVDRW drives
AOC 27" full HD monitor
Windows 8.1

Runs everything I need it to and then some. The only problem is the crappy driver set for the graphics card. My next upgrade is to swap out the AMD/ATI for an Nvidia, probably early next year.

$1200 to play video games on a 27" screen. Makes sense.

No it really doesn't. I just like fiddling with compuer hardware, kinda like a nerd grease monkey.

I never said I was amd fanboi, though you may have a point with the price to performance ratio.

As a pure gamer price no problem, Intel everyday, budget gamer, AMD most of the time.

I guess it is just a matter of taste or $$$.

Good rig you have though.

Dont remember saying that, her hobby is garage sales and sewing, in which I bought her a very nice sewing machine and fabrics.

So your point is, ridiculous. For her gaming pc's mean nothing to her and are a non priority.

But that is my hobby and a hobby I haven't done in quite a while, but none the less an $$$ one.

Either way I owe you no explanation other than what I said above.

I can't believe there is no native MP4 support on either The bone or the PS4 a year after it's release. Oh, I know, its coming and with tons of codec support. Still, your last gen consoles supported it. I found out when I tried to transfer an old mp4 file to a bone over the weekend. I just looked at the owner and shook my head.

There's no excuse.

So both of you spend money on her hobbies, yet, you aren't allowed to spend money on your hobby so you have to sneak around and be dishonest. Got it.

Sounds like a healthy marriage, bruv.

Inexcusable. Guess I'll have to just play video games until they come out with a patch.

I knew one of you ding-dongs was gonna say this. I want the full media solution both consoles proclaim they bring to the living room. I'm not taking sides on this issue as far as console vs console. They're both at fault for this.
