There is no epidemic (anybody who thinks there's an epidemic is beyond ignorant).

What's even more funny is the current background check laws (at least in my state) is actually set in stone.

The problem is nobody is enforcing the current laws (the government doesn't want to enforce the current laws, they want to restructure the existing laws with more BS attached too it).

I remember this was an issue after the sandy hook shooting (they tried to pass a bill that was similar to what was already in place but they attached multiple laws/rules to the bill that had nothing to do with background checks).

Your goals aren't super high or demanding so I would actually keep the processor and get the AMD 480 GPU when it comes out next week (rumored to give slightly higher than gtx 970 performance while costing 200 and using lower power consumption). Even the 150 dollar AMD 470 would be a good choice at all (is rumored to be not that much slower than the 480).

Save the rest of the money for a complete build overhaul when your ready to make the jump to 1440/4K in a couple of years (I wouldn't go all out right now since your CPU is decent, you have an aftermarket powersupply, and your still at 1080p).

You could go all out now but the results will be the exact same (very high settings 1080p regardless of what you choose to do so save for the big jump).

Agree with this. They drew the last generation out 8 freaking years and where now 2.5 years into the next generation and there's less than 5 combined consoles exclusives that are "must play" games (what in the hell have they been doing ? Where still waiting for exclusives that should of been out in 2014).

Calling this generation an embarrassment is an understatement

The 3570 is over 4 times faster than the consoles CPU and on most games wouldn't even get to 60% usage (yes your more than fine).

No reason to upgrade (the 3770K is like 4 to 5 times faster than the CPU of the consoles, it's very fast).

Hell my buddy still runs an overclocked i7 920 from 2008 and most games he's not even going above 60% usage (Consoles using a weak CPU along with the i series being ahead of there time has made CPU a low concern for most normal computer builds/goals)

Runs the biggest drug cartel in North American (criminally he has been the most wanted man in North America for almost 20 years).

US Marshall was saying on TV that after his last escape the US and mexico signed a deal and as a result some of the other top prisoners where extradited to the US (one of the stipulations of the contract was if El chapo was every caught again he would be required to be extradited to the USA).

(Mexico can't keep him on the basis of Pride since they have no leg to stand on (Chapo has escape twice and they have proof the the US contract)

I've played metal gear solid 1-4 but have peacemaker which I haven't player yet (I have it on ps3).

Would it be signicantly beneificial to play peacewalker before 5 ? (is 1 through 4 enough to understand the story in 5 or would I be missing too much ?).

You don't care yet your the one who originally quoted me ? The average story wasn't why it got 10s and game of the year (that was my point). If you like a mediocre game then that's fine (there's a reason why most of the people here are putting it either last or near last on there list).

You have a CPU thats literally 4-5x faster than the consoles CPU and you have a ton of ram. Finish the job and get the 970 (your literally a GPU away from sealing the deal on this generation)
