Then going to get another 760 near the fall to do an SLI build which will give me the performance equivalent of a GTX Titan

That and I'm making preparations to move out this year and might get a corgi if I don't plan on upgrading my computer

I got that exact GPU this week.

I look forward to my newest kitchen knife that I'll get at customs on monday. It's the bigger of the two here. And the Audio-CDs that normally go with my Norwegian learning book that I once bought without the CDs, so that I may finally be able to get acquainted to Norway.

Looking forward to buying my own place, hopefully by mid to late 2015 at the latest.

I want to do this as well, but given that I'm only really interested in high-rise condos (and how pricey they are in Toronto right now), I find it difficult to justify this as an investment. If I could buy the whole thing without a mortgage, then perhaps... but sadly, that's not quite feasible for me yet. lol

Hope everything goes well.
You won't be doing any fighting, right?
Seems like a nice way to visit the world.

Anime Boston is so bad.
Hynes Convention center is like a 30-ish minute walk from my house so I check it out every now and then, and it's filled with weirdos (as you should expect)

I shit you not, I saw a obese man 35-ish year old with a bald spot who was dressed in all rainbow dash clothes, his shirt was small on him so you saw his stomach.

I can't get that picture out of my head.

I can't tell with certainty because its potential is not fully unleashed, having to work with an overclocked Q6600 for now, which won't change for a while because I'd need to change mobo, CPU and OS (it's an OEM version and bound to the motherboard), so it's far too expensive for now. The loudness is however significantly reduced compared to my GTX 550Ti AMP! I had before. It doesn't even get loud during boot-up anymore.
My CPU is cooled with a Noctua NH-C12P and my case is the Define R4 with its stock fans, the PSU is a Seasonic M12II-520 Bronze, which is very quiet. I'm not sure if the remaining audible noise is just caused by the air being moved or if there's actually a mechanic source.
