  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I didn't know where else to put this, but I sure could use some advice.

I think I have looked at so many computer setups I'm starting to confuse myself. ^_^

I know gamers know their systems pretty well.

I have been looking at Dell XPS 8700, but needed a little power for graphics and some video editing.

I won't be gaming on this system.

I was going to wait until Windows 10 came out, but now they say it will be a free upgrade....and my vista desktop is about to die? WELL I think its time to jump, and I also found a 25% off coupon!

Processor: Intel Core 4th Generation i7-4790 processor (8M Cache, up to 4.0 GHz)
Windows 8.1
2TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s
32 GB SSDR mSATA Full Card
16 GB DDR3 Memory (4X4GB) 1600MHz
16X DVD +/- RW Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB DDR5


I think this should do the trick...anyone think differently? I tend to keep my computers forever, and yes from time to time I do upgrades. My computer is about upgraded as it can get, and its not worth putting anymore money into it.

I find it difficult to understand why anyone would choose windows 8 unless at gunpoint. Is 8.1 categorically better? Does it, for example, lose that truly awful "touch screen" look and get back to proper desktop?

Sorry, tangental to your thread :D
