I built a entry level/economy gaming PC in late 2015. I haven't used it much recently and as winter is approaching I'm likely going to be using it a lot more. I will likely be playing a combination of less demanding (although not particularly well optimized steam early access games) and some of the newer triple A titles. I have a decent 1080 monitor and am fine playing on 1080 for the time being.

Is it worth upgrading my pc yet or should it be fine for today's tipple A titles or is it still relevant and capable? I'm not expecting 2 million FPS on ultra, but don't care to play games on the lowest settings and hardly muster 30 fps.

Here are my PC specs:

FX8150 cooled by a deepcool 120 AIO liquid cooler

ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ mobo

Corsair XMS3 (3x4gb sticks)

ASUS Strix R9 390

Sandisk Z400s 256gb SSD

1TB HDD

Thermaltake TR2 700w power supply (bronze)

Cheap-O Deep cool Case

(Got fx-8150 and 12gb ram used for 80$ off a buddy, hence the odd cpu choice).

P.S. It scored 8400 on Firestrike Benchmark V1.1 if that means anything.

I am building a budget pc for gaming, I understand that not all of the parts are high end, however I got many of them on sale/clearance or even 2nd hand. Its meant to be a budget-ish 'console killer.'

FX-8150 (used)

ASUS M5A99 EVO R2

16gb DDR3 Corsair ram 1600mhz (used)

1TB Seagate HDD

ASUS GTX 950 Strix Gaming 2gb

ASUS optical drive

2x 120mm deep cool fans

Cooler Master Hyper T2 CPU Cooler

Deep Cool Tesseract Case

Random Logitec mouse + keyboard

Thermaltake TR2 700w PSU

All in all the build has cost me less then 750$ CAD and its going to be running windows 10.

Are there any obvious week points or recommendations on future upgrades?

A friend of mine has been missing for over 6 years, their mother has documentation indicating that he has been missing, and has police reports indicating that he was searched for and has not been found. We are presuming he has passed away.

He has left a considerable amount of property behind and we are not sure how to go about dealing with their property legally.

According to the Absentees Act, (http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/... an application can be made to declare someone absentee by the next of kin.

Where do we find this application, and where is it filed? Are there any fees associated?

I bought a phone from a friend for a fair price (wasn't exceedingly low or anything suspicious) in almost new condition. I spent the last couple of hours transferring all my contacts and data over from my old phone to the new phone. I went onto the bell website to register the phone with my SIM and the phone is on blacklist for being lost/stolen :-/

What are my options at this point? How i would contact the original owner, and if i were to turn it in to a local police station would it even end up in the hands of the original owner or just sit in a lost and found for 5 years.

In addition would there be any possible repercussions for unknowingly purchasing a lost/stolen phone?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I remember as a kid in Canada briefly seeing this one show on most likely YTV. The year is fuzzy but early 2000's, so it could have been a just before, or turn of the millennia show. As far as details, I recall one of the main characters being this tall,thin, mysterious women who wore a black suit (with cape), and a black, wide brimmed hat. I believe this was her 'hero' get up, and posed normally when not off doing something. I know this is really not much to go by but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is just throwing out some old anime names. I commonly get asked, " what about Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon?" but I know that is not it, even though the character seems very similar.

I had some friends some up for the weekend a three weeks back, long story short one of them had mono, we shared some drinks and I caught mono. I have been sick for a couple of weeks, thought I seemed to have cleared most of the symptoms aside from general fatigue and general weakness, my girl friend inevitably caught it from me. We are both well in the "recovering stage" though she is still quite a bit sicker then I. I was told the virus can stay in out systems for weeks.

Is it safe for us to be kissing? Can we "reinfect" ourselves?

I touched a hot metal part of my push lawn mower by accident and have burned the inside of my hand. The area around it is red but the exact places of contact or ore direct persay are white and the skin is kind of charred looking. No blisters, just dry looking white skin. The burn also is very painful and has been hurting for almost 4 hour s now. I am relieving pain with cold water in a rag and ice in the rag aswell. Whenever i take it off, the burning and stinging return.

I am an aspiring paralegal and mediator (just finished my paralegal diploma and will be completing my mediation certificate this coming academic year). I have a black single breast 3 button pronto uomo suit and i have been wearing it to all my formal occasions (mock trials, interviews, presentations) and I want to get a tan suit.

Do people still wear tan suits? and are they professional looking? If I were to walk into a interview would they think I am some Miami Vice extra?

I have a darker complexion (3rd gen Italian) and don't want to look like a cartel drug lord but want to stand out amongst the sea of black, grey, and navy suits in the legal field.

Also is there a preferred suit style if i was to choose to purchase a Tan suit?

I wore a pair of brand new white DC's I hadn't worn twice to go eat lunch with some friends at a local restaurant. While eating my meal one of the employees (owners wife) walked over and commented on my new white DC's and playfully teased as if she was to scuff them with her shoe. To my surprise she scruffed them rather aggressively, and after i had complained about her dirtying my shoe she offered to scuff my other shoe to "make it look even" i told her no, Then her realizing i wasn't happy offered to clean my shoe, i declined as i had proper shoe cleaner at home I could do it myself. She insisted she could clean it and wiped at it with a grease rag they used to clean the grill making my shoe look much worse. My white DC's look like garbage now. There was no camera in the store and the only witnesses would be my friend, the owner and the owners wife. Is there anything I could do? I am upset about the situation and would like to mmaintaina positive relationship with the restaurantas I live in a small town and its one of the only places to go and eat.

I am not sure what kind of nike's these are.

I am trying to find this piece of equipment for trainning in martial arts. It is a Large piece of wood ( or any other material) which is placed on the floor wihth many protruding poles from it . the base of it looks like a beam or column. The poles are used to cycle through different moves or actions, different kinds of blocks, etc. The only refference or source I have is that it is in the movie, 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story' there are a few scense in the beginning with him trainning with one.

I heard this great song on the radio, I dont know the artist but it was about a boy who played a piano at a bar and how he took their mind off their troubles to hear him play, the chorus said something along the lines of "....play the piano boy!...." Throughout the song the verses talk of people at the bar and their troubles and then how they forget about them while he's playing. At the end of the song it says that the bar manager is happy because everyones going to hear him play and that they want to listen to him play because it helps them forget their troubles. Would really appreciate help finding it. THe singer hd a high strung wavering sort of voice, and had accoustic guitar, maybe drums cant remember

i want to buy a good budget rifle that can take a beatin. also beign in canada it has to comply with canadian restrictions. i looked into getting a chinese type 56 sks in 7.62x39mm.

i want something to hunt with, and shoot recreationally, homedefence is always a bonus

i can get the gun for 200$ from norinco. it looks good, and i have freinds who have owned/shot them before and loved them. cheap gun, cheap bullets (122g soft points for 1000 for 200$). i may put a t-6 stock on it sometime down the road. Im 6'2 185lbs so the 7.62x39 should be quite manageable

should i go ahead and get it or get something else? pls include CA prices

What three songs do you feel express you as a person?

Mines would be:

1) Scar tissue : Red Hot Chili Peppers

2) Undead : Hollywood Undead

3) My Darling : Eminem

4) By the Way : Red Hot Chilli Peppers

5) Otherside : Red Hot Chilli Peppers

what are yours?

its kids 4 wheeler 49cc 2 stroke, pull start and its rated to 95kg maximum load, im 79kg. its rated top speed is 55kmph, how fast could i go, top speed under favourable conditions?

Im 6'1 172lbs 78" reach and im training in muay thai, BJJ, and Wrestling.

I have a 8% body fat percentage. In 2011 im going to participate in some amateur fights and was wandering if i bulk up 5 pounds, should I fight at welter weight 170, or lightweight 155?

I dont have alot of body fat and would prefer to fight at welter but i wont be a very big welterweight in comparison to 190-200lb fighters who make the cut to 170, in comparison to 175-180 cuttign to 170.

If i do fight at light weight 155 i will be one of the bigger competitors but i think it would be awkward to fight at so much lighter than my walk around weight.
