  • @MrMikerose48 It's amazing what 8 months does to technology.

  • @wywyman Only?

  • You don't fucking know where to put money..

  • i could build a much better pc with 5000 dollars... this is overkill

  • Holy shit! Talk about high end PC's!

  • so many things there that were so unnecessary, could've saved alot of money. and the cpu does not have 12 cores it has 12 threads BIG difference

  • @theintunity Some people need the extreme edition look up the specs

  • @mbaseballpro2 no we weren't... it pure went about the price... but i already know why this guy paid so much for a I7... he bought the Extreme edition who is better then a normal I7, in euro's it costed about €949,- but why would you buy such one... a normal I7 is already good enough for a price of €200

  • @theintunity I dont understand aren't we talking about regular processors not micro ones??
