Well technically this is shovel vs knife, but I think this stands as the argument ender of this classic Giantbomb debate. Here

There are millions of "Muslims" who commit evil deeds in the name of Islam. One needn't look any further than Iraq or Syria, to see how people can commit the most horrid and repulsive acts in the name of Allah. A video game should be your least concern.

This shit is going to get this motherfucker banned right?

The way he said was pretty silly, but there's very much a rift between the Middle-East and Western civilization. That can't be argued and portraying it in entertainment isn't islamophobia in itself. I'd suggest the OP to re-examine what he believes to be hate mongering against muslims.

Exactly the face i picture of someone making this comment. Marriage and eventually parenthood is about compromise and putting others before yourself.

Sorry your wife owns you.

The way the thread title was worded is funny. And you guys are losing your minds over a couple of jokes. People are taking themselves way too seriously. Get over yourselves.

Your processor is too slow. Spend the extra money on a i5 4670k. Even if you don't overclock it's still worth having. I am of the opinion that all new PCs should have an SSD in them but that being said you should wait on that. 120 is a tad bit too small. I got 250 and I'm already feeling a squeeze. Use that money and get a better GPU, a GTX 760, and then upgrade to an SSD next year.

How is it too slow? It won't bottleneck the 7870.

@ztf: Right now the GPU's are basically re-releases of the same cards they debuted three years ago. Springtime is when the next-gen Nvidia parts come out and fall is when the new ATI cards come out. I would personally wait until April if I could.

Ever since 3d cards have existed the version that releases a year after console launches last a generation.

Waiting 5 months and a half is easy if you already have a rig that can play current games. Waiting 5 months and a half not playing any of the games coming out isn't worth it. And the cost efficiency of the r9 280x may not even be surpassed by the next gen cards for all we know.

So you say that waiting 5 months is not worth it, but spending the money now is basically flushing money down the toilet. The money is better spent of new consoles, or knowing full well that your new hardware is going to be useless in a year.

You're a funny guy.

@slaegar: @troispoint: Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. I was mostly unsure about the processor, which, as you point out, seems to be the bottleneck in my system. So do you have any specific processor you'd recommend or should I just get any 8-core amd processor? Thanks a ton for the advice, by the way!

Your CPU isn't bottlenecking your GPU. But the few games that are CPU intensive like Watch Dogs and BF4 do benefit from more threads in your CPU. I would wait for another generation of CPUs from AMD. Unless you don't mind changing your motherboard, because the latest Haswell i7 could be a good choice, although not necessary at all.

You don't need to upgrade anything, you'll be able to play any next gen games the coming year. But if you're really looking to max everything out at all times, you could use a better CPU for a game like Watch Dogs.
