i fucking did it

AHAHAHAHAHA YES FINALLY WOOOO   please dont break my heart and change it again soe

wow very dry much snark To elaborate in a less going-to-get-flamed manner, each of the Homestuck protagonists is sort of meant to look general and ordinary. John is basically what most people would think of when they hear the words "geeky kid" and Jade is probably the same, but female. Dave and Rose are also meant to be rather "default" with only Dave deviating from the norm much with sunglasses. This is all to contrast them for effect with the incredibly awesome and/or silly items and clothing they wear as the story progresses. John looks much sillier/cooler in that God Tier hoodie when we associate him with just a t-shirt, don't you think? So yes, it really seems like Default Character #4. Probably because that's who she is going to be, numbskull. The power of Hussie is beginning to flow through me. Soon, I will replace that penguin in your signature with an incredibly masculine tastefully-naked centaur Soon.

I got:

Microsoft Security Essentials Avast! AVG Malwarebytes Anti-Malware(Download this along the anti-virus you choose) I personally use MSE/MBAM, but it's up to you what to choose.

Homestuck Adventure Game Mystery Girl is so fucking adorable.

And just to confuse people after putting a random picture in the Instant and Moment thread, I'm making a text post with no pictures in this one! I AM SUCH AN ANARCHIST ... Alright, fine, here's TF2 birds.

Well, I just got done building my new computer, so you're in luck. You get to hear all the shit I've found out through a week of heavy research without slogging through a week of heavy research! This is what I ended up getting. The GTX 760 is a new card and one of the most cost efficient cards on the market today. It will pull 60 FPS in most games at 1920x1080 with really demanding games dragging it down to 30 at high settings (so I've heard, I'm still downloading games to play). Although at $1500 you could probably get a GTX 770 if you want even higher FPS. Or if you're really crazy you can SLI two 760s and get near the performance of a Titan for half the price. You also want to look at similarly priced AMD cards, you might find one on sale. Your CPU choice is really down to either an i5 or i7 Haswell. The i5 will do just fine but the i7 is faster, though not a hundred dollars faster in my opinion; besides, CPUs only do so much for games anyway. Don't get the K version if you don't overclock. The only difference between an i5 4670 and a 4670K is that the K version can overclock. That's it. Also, if you DO get the K version you'll also really want an aftermarket cooler and thermal paste that will add $50 to the total cost. So it's really $80 more to overclock effectively. I didn't really look at AMD CPUs because the i5 I got is pretty much perfect for me. The motherboard I have, or a similar one, should work well with yours, unless you go for an AMD CPU in which case I have no idea what motherboard you should get. You'll want at least 8 gigs of DDR3 memory, but you can get 16 gigs though I have no idea why unless you'll be doing memory intensive shit other than gaming. Either way, memory is easily addable later on if you decide you need more. For a $1500 budget an SSD is a no-brainier, get a 120 GB one with a 1 TB HDD for storage. A power supply is simultaneously the most important and least important item in the computer. If it works, a $20 is not that different from a $100 one (as long as the wattage is high enough), but if the cheap one fails it can and probably will take your motherboard, CPU, and GPU out with it. The $100 is probably less likely to fail and less likely to hurt anything else if it does. Make sure your PSU can supply around 30% more than your computer needs. Modular PSUs allow you to remove unneeded cables so your case doesn't have a shitload of cables lying around, if you're concerned that your case is too small. Case is really personal preference, but make sure it's big enough and has good airflow, and that it supports your motherboard. Any cheap-ass optical drive will do unless you intend to watch movies on a disk. Otherwise it just needs to install Windows before being tossed aside in the bin with the floppy drive. If you're morally flexible you don't need to buy Windows and can save a hundred bucks. Or you could install Linux if you're weird like that. And that's really all I have for you.
