Murray eases through in Cincinnati
5:57pm Wednesday 14th August 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Andy Murray gave a professional display to dispatch Mikhail Youzhny 6-2 6-3 in the second round of the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.
The world number two bounced back from his surprising early exit in Montreal last week to beat the 31-year-old Russian in just 70 minutes.
Murray, a winner in Cincinnati in 2011 and 2008, will next face France's Julien Benneteau as he continues his preparations for the defence of his US Open title.
The second seed came into this contest leading Youzhny 3-0 head-to-head, including a straight-sets victory over the Russian on his way to winning this year's Wimbledon title.
And the opening set was a largely one-sided affair in which Murray raced into a 4-0 lead.
Youzhny looked more composed when facing Murray's serve, with some powerful hitting and long rallies enough to remind the Scot he was in a match.
But the Russian's own service games lacked consistency and Murray capitalised as his opponent served up five double faults and steered several tame forehands into the net.
The world number 25 eventually got himself on the scoreboard in game five, but the damage had already been done and Murray held on comfortably to move a set ahead.
Youzhny continued to struggle on serve at the start of the second and found himself facing two more break points in the opener, gifting the second to the Wimbledon champion with another wayward forehand.
Murray looked a class above the former world number eight and his awareness was making it increasingly difficult for Youzhny to find a way through.
It was no surprise when the Scot broke again to take a 4-1 lead, with Youzhny's forehand once more letting him down, although it was unexpected when the Russian snatched the game back straightaway - Murray the player making the error this time with a misjudged backhand.
However, it was a minor blip and he quickly recovered to set up match point on Youzhny's serve with a cross-court backhand, before securing the win when the Russian fired a forehand long.
Murray admits he felt much more at home on court in Cincinnati than he did during his curtailed challenge in Montreal last week.
"I prefer the conditions here," the Scot told Sky Sports. "It's actually quite cool today, but the court suits my game a little bit more here so I felt a bit more comfortable, I moved pretty well.
"It was an important match for me to get through, obviously I want to try and get as many matches as possible this week before the US Open.
"I only got a couple last week so I was a little bit nervous before the start of the match because it was important to get through this one.
"I didn't make too many mistakes, I just tried to play a solid match and find a way to win today."
Murray will now focus on his third-round contest with Benneteau on Thursday, and is aware of the threat the 31-year-old could pose.
"It's a tough match," he said. "I played him on this court a few years ago, was down a set and a break but managed to come back.
"He's solid all round, comfortable up at the net. He doesn't have one major weapon but he doesn't have any massive weaknesses either.
"I need to play a smart match, he's caused upsets before so I need to be ready for that one."

GOP Representatives Introduce Achieve Act to Counter DREAM Act, Which One Will Immigrants Favor?
House GOP Introduces Immigration Bill, But Will it Offer Solutions to The Majority of Immigrants?
Jeb Bush to Pen Book about Immigration, Release Date in 2013
Notorious Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is well-known for being tough on illegal immigration, took the stand Tuesday as he faces allegations of racial profiling. And while Arpaio said he was against "anyone racially profiling," those caught up in his controversial sweeps testified to being humiliated by the sheriff's deputies.
In a story, which originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune, a Latino contractor, Daniel Magos, related what happened to him when he was stopped by a deputy. Magos, who was heading to an appointment with this American-born wife, was pulled over because of a missing tag on the trailer he was pulling.
Follow this link for the original article: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-07-25/news/sns-rt-us-usa-arizona-sheriffbre86o1kh-20120725_1_arpaio-illegal-immigrants-federal-government-sole-authority
Though this was a minor traffic stop that would at most warrant a ticket, Magos said the officer yelled at him and his wife. He was instructed to get out of his truck where he was frisked under his arms and on his groin. Magos said he felt "humiliated, worthless, defenseless."
Magos, who has been an American citizen for 45 years, said the officer later apologized and told him the stop "had nothing to do with racial profiling." But Magos and all of the other Latino immigrants stopped by the department since 2007 believed otherwise and filed the suit against the Sheriff with the help of immigration activist group Somos America.
The court also heard testimony from deputies denying that they targeted Latino immigrants in the infamous sweeps, though 57 percent of the 1,500 people arrested in 20 sweeps were Latino.
Arpaio also had to defend his "dirty immigrant," remark which he claims was taken out of context, and rationalized the comment by saying if someone traveled through the desert barefoot for four days to cross the border they "could be dirty," according to Politico.
Racial profiling is a major concern for immigration activists and civil rights advocates who are aggressively challenging Arizona's 'papers please" provision in the state's immigration law.
Millions of Latinos in the country took the steps to hire immigration attorneys and obtain the visas necessary which paved the way for their U.S. citizenship. You can obtain more information about visas and naturalization here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis.

A married father and a swinging single swap bodies after a wild night of drinking, and do their best not to throw each other's lives into complete chaos while scrambling to figure out a way to get back in their own skin. Dave (Jason Bateman) and Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) grew up together. They used to be inseparable, but these days they're lucky if they cross paths every few months. Dave is a successful lawyer and happily married father of three; Mitch is a single sexual dynamo locked in a perpetual state of arrested adolescence. And while Mitch admires Dave for having a gorgeous wife (Leslie Mann), happy kids, and a high-paying job, Dave envies his unhitched pal's freewheeling lifestyle and his ability to bed any woman who shoots him a seductive glance. Then one night, after having a few too many, Mitch and Dave voice their mutual admiration for one another, never once suspecting they might be about to find out how the other half lives. However, upon waking up the following morning, the two lifelong pals discover that they have somehow traded places. At first the thought of getting a momentary reprieve from their regular routines is an amusing novelty, but the longer it lasts, the more they just want their old lives back. Just when it seems that things can't get any more complicated, Dave's stunning legal associate Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) drops a bombshell, and Mitch gets a surprise visit from his estranged father (Alan Arkin). ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Two sets of crooks and one reluctant hero square off in this blend of comedy and action. Tripp (Patrick Dempsey) has been trying to catch the eye of pretty bank teller Kaitlin (Ashley Judd), and he thinks he's come up with just the thing to get himself noticed -- he shows up just as the bank is about to close for the day and asks her to break a hundred-dollar bill into loose change. But Tripp's attempt to meet cute goes wrong when two different sets of thieves invade the bank at the same time. Three are savvy criminals (Mekhi Phifer, Matt Ryan, and John Ventimiglia) who have carefully worked out a plan for clearing out the vault, while the other two (Tim Blake Nelson and Pruitt Taylor Vance) are half-bright rednecks who intend to crack open the ATM machines and take the cash inside. Before long, both teams of crooks are trapped in the bank and find themselves constantly in each other's way, while Tripp is trying to find a way to protect Kaitlin and himself while foiling the robbers, though the fact he's delusional and has stopped taking his medication is making things rather complicated.

Apparently ketamine is beneficial for unipolar as well as bipolar depression and produces effects in hours rather than weeks like regular antidepressants. I found the stuff on synaptogenesis particularly interesting.
I wouldn't take it or recommend it, simply because of what Special K (not the cereal) can do to a person, esp neurologically.
I've seen the article. Hallucination is a serious side effect. However, as a treatment of last resort it sounds promising.
I've tried ketamine and it is horrible. It causes withdrawal from people around you then sleep. It is a horrible way to relieve depression. A much better medication is 6-APB.
From some one who partied on ketamin once in her early 20's, I don't recommend this. The mind is already numbed enough in depression. Proactive thinking is best. I like the atheist Nathaniel Brandon's books, Undoing Depression, and Natural Prozac. All three books to read in bed, since the depressed often rarely leave bed and they often can't afford a doctor. Pulling Your Own Strings is a great one for women. Depression is often anger at being a victim.

A low-level pot dealer poses as a family man in order to pay back a debt to his supplier in this comedy starring Saturday Night Live alumni Jason Sudeikis. If you're a soccer mom in search of some reefer, David Burke (Sudeikis) is just the man to talk to. He certainly isn't the biggest dealer in town, but he's discreet, and aims to please. When David attempts to perform a good deed and gets robbed in the process, however, his supplier Brad (Ed Helms) is none too happy. Now, in order to pay Brad back before the hammer drops, David must retrieve a big drug shipment from Mexico and sneak back across the border undetected. It's a risky job for sure, but with the help of a few neighbors David might just pull it off. With sardonic stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) assuming the role of housewife, teenage misfit Kenny (Will Poulter) posing as the awkward son, and rebellious Casey (Emma Roberts) filling in as his sister, David slips on some khakis, and starts heading south. Meanwhile, as David tries to convince himself that the border patrol wouldn't give a second glance at such a typical suburban family, the shipment -- and the stakes -- both prove greater than anticipated. Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, and Ken Marino co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Kirk (Jay Baruchel) was languishing in a dead-end job as an airport security agent when he somehow managed to earn the affections of the successful and drop-dead gorgeous Molly (Alice Eve).

Josh Zuckerman, Amanda Crew, and James Marsden star in this teen sex comedy concerning an inexperienced adolescent who rounds up the gang for a road trip from Chicago to Knoxville after receiving a particularly enticing message from a girl he met on the Internet. Ian (Zuckerman) has just turned 18, and he feels like the last American virgin. He works at the mall donut shop, he's taunted by his womanizing older brother, Rex (Marsden), and he's even losing ladies to his 14-year-old brother. Having struck out time and again with his dream girl and longtime best friend, Felicia (Crew), Ian finally resorts to logging on and looking for a date online. In a stunning turn of events, Ian manages to chat up a beautiful blonde named Ms. Tasty, who's eager to be his first. She's fun, she's sexy, and she's everything that Ian has ever wanted in a girlfriend. The only thing preventing them from consummating their relationship now is the distance between them; Ian lives in Chicago and Ms. Tasty lives 500 miles away in Knoxville. But it's easy to pretend that you're someone you're not online, and Ian hasn't exactly been honest about his appearance in the first place. Still, he's sure he could charm Ms. Tasty all the same once he meets her in person, so he takes the advice of his best friend Lance (Clark Duke) and prepares to take Ms. Tasty up on her offer to "go all the way" for him if he "drives all the way" for her. But everyone knows that a road trip is no fun alone, so in order to keep him company on the road Ian invites Lance and Felicia along for the ride. Later, after stopping off to party at an Amish rave and facing a series of hilarious setbacks, Ian finally meets the girl of his dreams. Unexpectedly, things don't go quite as planned.. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Never Been Thawed
Add Never Been Thawed to Queue
Add Never Been Thawed to top of Queue
The myriad obsessions of a handful of hopeless geeks go under the microscope in this comic mockumentary. At the age of 12, Shawn Anderson (Sean Anders) began collecting frozen food; a little over a decade later, he has over 900 rare entrées in his collection, and works as a dental hygienist to pay for the 14 freezers needed to keep his stash in pristine "never been thawed" condition. Shawn is the president of the Mesa Frozen Entrées Enthusiasts Club, and is attempting to organize the first national convention for frozen-food buffs while trying to keep his collection one step ahead of arch-rival Vince (Mike Gordon). Shawn also leads a punk-rock band, who recently embraced a Christian stance when he discovered that born-again teens were a more lucrative market than crusty punks. One of Shawn's biggest fans is Shelly (Shelly Frasier), a cute but dorky Christian girl who works as a counselor on an abstinence hotline and has joined the frozen entrée club to be near Shawn. Shawn likes Shelly, but is put off by her "wait until marriage" principles. Al (Allen Zwolle), Shawn's bass player, also has a crush on Shelly, and hangs with the club to spend time with her, but isn't so sure about the band's new Christian image, or his job as a combination clown/barber. Meanwhile, Milo (John Angelo), the band's manager, plans ways to propel them to Christian stardom while operating an anti-abortion coffeehouse, the No Choice Café. Never Been Thawed was the first feature film for writer and director Sean Anders, who also played the leading role and helped write the film's music. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

By Catherine Pritchard Staff writer
'Smashed' will play at the Cameo Art House Theatre on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Go to cameoarthouse.com or call 486-6633 for times.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead has an occasional glass of wine but says she has never been a big drinker.
"I never even went through a big drinking phase," said the 28-year-old actress. "It certainly wasn't a part I could relate to in a literal way."
But she found other ways to connect with the character Kate, an alcoholic teacher she portrays in the dramatic film "Smashed." The movie opens Friday for three showings at the Cameo Art House Theatre in downtown Fayetteville. The film also stars Aaron Paul of TV's "Breaking Bad" and Octavia Spencer.
Audiences have connected with the film, too, and many critics have particularly liked Winstead's performance. The small independent film, directed and co-written by James Ponsoldt, won a prize for excellence when it premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in January.
Winstead's performance has been called "unmissable and unforgettable" by Rolling Stone, "terrific" by the Miami Herald, "amazing" by the New York Daily News and "excellent" by the Village Voice. The acclaim culminated last month with an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Lead Actress.
It's an exciting time for the actress, a Rocky Mount native who has dozens of relatives in Cumberland County. She has been acting since childhood and has appeared on TV shows, including a yearlong stint on the NBC soap "Passions." She has starred in a number of movies, including "Final Destination 3" "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," "Live Free or Die Hard" and "Sky High."
"That really means a lot to me," she said in a phone interview from her home in California. "It's just been a really great experience having that validation. It's not what you do it for but it certainly makes it nice."
Winstead's parents, Ron and Betty Winstead, were born and raised in Cumberland County, and she was raised in Utah. Her parents now live in the Triangle, near many members of their large families who still live in Cumberland County. Winstead said she visits her parents frequently, and they often visit Fayetteville.
"Smashed" was a dream role - a lead character with a meaty, complicated story. In the film, Winstead's character decides to get sober while her husband maintains an alcoholic lifestyle.
"You don't often find roles that are this complex and interesting, and to play a character this flawed, it's really fun," she said. "It's not fun to play someone perfect who has it all together. To play someone who has all of these problems but is willing to acknowledge them and work on them was really exciting to me."
Winstead, who is married, said she could relate to the basic difficulties her character has in dealing with her husband while she tries to stay sober.
"The relationship was very relatable," she said. "When one person makes big changes in life, that's something that can be hard for a couple to work through. Sometimes you think you're all on the same page and then one of you changes."
To prepare, she attended AA meetings, talked to people there about their experiences and found common ground.
"It became more clear to me what a universal struggle it is to try to be the best person you can be," she said. "You can take alcoholism out of the equation and it's still the same struggle that everyone goes through. These people just have a predisposition to turn to alcohol."
She wasn't worried about how audiences might perceive Kate.
"I knew it was something I needed to do for me, as an actress," she said. "I just wanted something to stretch me and just really take me in a new direction. I didn't even think about how people would respond.... (The movie) could have never come out and it would still have had a huge impact on me personally and professionally."

David Cameron has been rebuked by a judge for his comments during the trial of Nigella Lawson's two former housekeepers. Judge Robin Johnson told the jury in Isleworth Crown Court, West London, that the Prime Minister's decision to tell a journalist he supported Ms Lawson was "of regret" and had wasted a morning of their time. Mr Cameron made the remarks during the prosecution of Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who are accused of fraudulently spending almost £700,000 on credit cards belonging to Charles Saatchi, Ms Lawson's former husband. "The reason for the delay is that I this morning have been taken through a large number of press reports," Judge Johnson said. "It is of regret when people in public office comment about a person who is involved in a trial that is in progress." It was "inconceivable" that members of the jury had not read Mr Cameron's words, which were widely reported, the judge added. He said that the Grillo sisters were aggrieved "not without justification" by the Prime Minister's intervention. "You will realise that what public figures feel about this case or witnesses in this case will have no bearing on your own views," he said, directing them to ignore the interview. "I'm sorry that much court time has been taken with this topic. I am only sorry that it has had the effect of wasting almost an entire morning of court time that should have been devoted to the evidence and the real issues in t
Margaret Thatcher helped to avert a "devastating racial war" by opposing tougher sanctions against South Africa during the apartheid era, F. W. de Klerk has said. The former South African President said it was "a pity" that subsequent Tory leaders had apologised for their party's stance, which he said had allowed his country to reach a stage where a transition to a democracy was possible. Writing in The Times, he said that handing power to the African National Congress (ANC) party before the mid-1980s would have led to bloodshed and "the imposition of a communist regime" by some of its far-left figures. "Margaret Thatcher understood this," he writes. "Although she was a consistent critic of apartheid, she had no illusions about the challenges that we faced. She doggedly resisted demands for more sanctions and always gave me and our negotiating partners
The Queen became furious when Royal police officers "scoffed" nuts that were left out for her at Buckingham Palace and she began to monitor the level of the snack bowls, a court heard today. A News of the World reporter claimed in 2005 that the Queen had a "very savoury tooth" and that a memo had gone around to all Palace officers telling them to "keep their sticky fingers out". Clive Goodman, the tabloid's former Royal editor, wrote to then-editor Andy Coulson: "The Queen is furious about police stealing bowls of nuts and nibbles left out for her in the apartments in the BP Queen's corridor. "She has a very savoury tooth and staff leave out cashews, Bombay mix, almonds, etc. "Prob is that police on patrol eat the lot. Queen is so narked she started marking the bowls to see when the levels dipped." Mr Goodman, 56, and Mr Coulson, 45, are bein

In honor of Hall & Oates headlining this year's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular at the Hollywood Bowl next Saturday we thought we share the classic video of the Hall & Oates' song She's Gone. It's one of those videos that makes you want to play the game: "What drug were they on when they thought this was a great idea?". Seriously, John Oates deconstructed tuxedo and the bizarre devil costume make this one beyond hysterical. Enjoy!

Frame & underbody inspection on earlier 1960's buick's and Oldsmobile's
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010During an auto appraisal, it's difficult to assess on site whether or not the mid frame rails traveling through the body center are very solid. The problem is that they recess into a cavity along the floorboard, allowing only visual confirmation of solid floor supports through a narrow, 3/8″ gap between the inner rocker structure and rail itself. Having a mirror on a stick isn't particularly useful in this case. This is especially important on convertibles, as they tend to be more rusty, due to the top leaks over the years. A long, thin ice pick is your best defense to polk around, IF you can get away with it! The best way of course is to pull back the carpeting from the sills and look from the inside.

The sys admin's daily grind: P3Scan
Checking email for viruses is typically the domain of the SMTP gateway or a server directly downstream of it. In this month's column, Charly decides to move this protection to the other side – that is, to the client connections
with their SMTP and POP servers.
P3Scan is a mail proxy that sets up shop in front of the SMTP and POP3 daemons and accepts connections from clients wanting to pick up, or get rid of, mail. It forwards client commands and checks emails for malevolent content before passing them on. P3Scan avoids exotic dependencies and just relies on the pcre-devel library, which most distributions are likely to have anyway. Of course, P3Scan must rely on anti-virus software. I chose ClamAV, but P3Scan will also work with F-Prot, F-Secure, Kaspersky, and probably other products, as long as they have a command line client. P3Scan can also integrate SpamAssassin and DSPAM, giving it the ability to remove unsolicited advertising from mail.

Hi everyone. Joined up TPU in hopes to get some valuable advice on an upgrade for my 4 year old rig. Ever since Borderlands 2 came out that I suspect that my CPU became a liability, and now with FarCry 3 it became slightly more evident. I have a fairly tight budget, no more than €600 (Roughly 800USD) so I decided it was time for an upgrade (a little Christmas present ). What makes me think that my CPU is bottlenecking is that when playing FarCry 3, with Ultra settings on DX11 but without MSAA AA I get between 35 and 70 FPS. Looking at an area that I get about 50FPS, I noticed that my GPU was being only used at about 85% and that all of my CPU cores were over 90% usage sometimes one or two hitting 100%. So I take that the CPU has really reached its limit. Now, I thought of a few options: - Sabertooth Z77 along a 3570K setting me back about €430, and maybe later dumping the Quadro FX3800 and getting another 470 for SLI for about an extra €130, totalling around €560. - Maximus V Extreme and a 3570K for about €570 and "Future proof-ness" - "Dump" the GTX470 and get a GTX680 for about €480 if the problem is really not the CPU. What do you guys think? I'm all ears for suggestions! EDIT: Current rig specs are already filled up. Cheers
Wow you have a running Striker mobo! (I have 2 dead ones) 8) Z77 with 3570K is a very sweet combo. The graphix sweet babe is a GTX660 -Ti or non Ti-...for your screen size (only suggesting nV parts) Decide on the mobo, depending on wished features. I have the MVE and its Thunderbold port is futureproof but not much offered for it...
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI 7.1..... Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache O... Kingston 8GB 2400MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 DIMM (Kit o... You'll be needing new RAM too as your current stuff is too high voltage for the newer platform. I'd keep your current GPU as nothing new makes sense as the price will be way too high... add another for SLI action later on. You should also consider an SSD to help things load quicker and for a more pleasurable experience in Windoze. Those things would be my pick for your budget. Get yourself a Corsair H80i with whats leftover and you're set to go. You should also add where you're from so we get a better idea of the places to look. Also, welcome to TPU! Edit: Sell your FX3800 and pick up another 470 for no extra money. They are selling for a stupidly high price and you'd be able to score a used 470 for the same, if not less.
From your systems specs, I do not see and issue with running games. The quad you have is quite decent and the GTX 470 should handle BL2 without issue. Why though Jr? If he is just gaming then the benefit of X79 over Z77 is almost pointless.
Board/CPU combo would total 90%+ of his budget... seems a bad choice to be honest for very little gains vs the 3570K.
Ok then, go an i3 2120 + any z68 + gtx660. LOL nah in all seriousness.... Ivy Bridge-E/Haswell has yet to be released and has yet to really be "confirmed" to be more than just 6 cores. We already know there will be 4 & 6 core variants. Basically what i am saying is jump in the X79 train while the budget is there. The GTX470 can still game and should be fine for another 6mos to a year.
If HT is not needed a I5-3570K would be the ideal chip to get! Pair that with a decent Z77 board and GTX 670 and you should be set.
A freaking picky mobo when it comes to OC, but I really like its design. Got a 8400 @ 4.4 GHz on it with lesser effort than to get this 9450 @ 3.66. But never had any problems with it, running OCed nearly since I bought this system. I considered the ROG MVE due to being a ROG mobo fan really. Well, wished features are really 2 GPUs, either SLI or Single + Physx. I also own an LSI SAS controller PCIE x4. So I think the Sabertooth is just close enough, the 470 is not really enough to exhaust the 8 lanes @ 2.0 I had some really bad experiences with ASRock in the past... Haven't taken a look at their products in a really long time, have they become better? Regarding the RAM, not really, this RAM I'm using is rated at 1.5v (running @ 1.6v due to tighter timings) so I think I can hold on to it for a little longer. Upgrading from these SAS HDDs to SSDs is planned, but not for now Selling the Quadro is a good idea... I should kick my self in the rear for not thinking about that either, that'll make my budget go up another few hundred euro . A closed loop water cooling is also planned... lol. Using the idea of selling the Quadro I will have to rethink some things. Already did. Thanks for the welcome LOL that's over my budget A 3570K is around €215, a Z77 Sabertooth is about €220 and a MVE is just short of €360. The problem I have with BL2 is that on determined places, FPS goes all the way down to about 30FPS, GPU usage goes down to about 20% and Physx GPU usage rises with it and it's not even in battles, just idling around. Honestly I forgot to check CPU usage, but that can be done later today. Not really, HT is pointless, I do some photoshopping now and then, or Lightroom, but nothing remotely close to having the need for an HT enabled CPU.
ASrock has stepped up their game 10x in the past 4 years give or take. If I had to choose between all the current motherboard manufacturers, I would choose ASRock even though I am very partial to gigabyte.
Brandonwh64 is right. You don't need anything more tha nan i5 3570K + GTX 670 for any 2012 game at 1080p. Pair it with a good price/performance Z77 MB will save you somes buck to drink a beer in the weekend haha
Interesting, never imagined that. Although that mobo looks really nice, the lack of a 3rd PCIE slot prevents me from considering it, as I have a RAID card coupled with 5 SAS HDDs. Having taken a look at a X79 combo... the 3930k alone will eat up 90% of my budget lol and I really want some OCing goodness. If I manage to sell the Quadro and the GTX470 I could get a 670, but that's a pretty long shot. A Beer sounds nice lol and I don't need to include it on the budget. Portugal. But I do know where to look
Oh they have boards with more PCIex slots! 5x PCIex http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme9/ 3x PCIex http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 OC Formula/ 3x PCIex http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme11/ 3x PCIex http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty Z77 Professional/
Your budget should be enough for 3570K+Z77+GTX 670, as you said you have 800USD. PS. Saudações do Brasil ao povo de Portugal!
Holy mother of god... That Extreme11 looks sweet. 14 SATA ports? LOL talk about overkill, not to mention on the PLX chips. Also expensive, from a review I read they said around 400USD.. lol I've not seen the Extreme11 on sale around here yet, only the Extreme9. I'll read some reviews on it as well. Saudações de Portugal ao povo do Brasil! Translation: Greetins from Portugal to the people from Brazil. /Translation I wish. €600 may be about 800USD but the price difference is way higher than exchange rates . 3570K - €215 (285USD) Sabertooth Z77 - €220 (290USD) GTX670 - €390 (515USD) Extreme9 - €312 (412USD) So a mobo+CPU+GPU combo would be either €825 (1089USD) or €917 (1210USD) I could manage the first option if I am able to sell the GTX470 and the FX3800, but I'd lose the dedicated Physx GPU. Over in the US, taken from a well known seller like newegg I got: 3570K - 215USD Sabertooth Z77 - 240USD GTX670 - 360USD Extreme9 - 300USD Over there it would be either 815USD or 875USD, so yeah... as you said, it's enough lol Talk about a near 1:1 rates on the prices to a 1:1.32 on the money exchange rates. It would be lovely if I did import from the USA. But I don't want to take any chances of customs lol Also, thanks to everyone so far for your help.
Thinking about what you've said, I think the Asus Sabertooth and ASRock Extreme 9 are both (with the last one especially) far too expensive for what they are offering. I think this would be a far better solution in terms of motherboard: LINK The price is respectable and it offers pretty much everything the Sabertooth does at a fair chunk less €$£ while doing so. 3570K still gets my vote, too, for being cheap, overclocking like a beast and performing well while doing so. Also, why stick with (1066)1333mhz RAM when you can be running 2xxxMHz for very little money? The resulting memory bandwidth with the latter would make it well worth your time switching and you could also sell your current CPU/Mobo/RAM as a package for an easier sale, if you don't intend on keeping it. If you went with the Kingston RAM (or some similar kit) I linked earlier along with the Extreme 6 and 3570K, that'd put you around €450 spent.... sell the Quadro for €100 - €120 and pick up another GTX470 while you're at it for no extra cash. I also read you don't want an SSD.... I think you should invest in one as your main boot drive as it'll kick those SAS drives in the with its latency and no doubt read/write too. Use the SAS drives for backup/storage space/steam/pr0n and have the best of both worlds. Put the rest of your €600 budget to either stepping up to a 3770K for the extra e-peen + HT or on a custom WC loop like you mentioned... lots of value for your money if it worked out for you like this.
Saudações de Portugal! Antes de mais, a nivel de bons preços nacional posso recomendar a chiptec.net e se tens problemas com os portes sempre podes tentar a amazon.es ou .co.uk. O resto vai em inglês. I take it that you only use one monitor for gaming, right? At that resolution, a gtx 470 is actually very capable. I would also go with the asrock z77 extreme 4 + i5 3570k + 2x4gb ram (no more, no less than 1600 cl 9 is needed) This will give you a good basis for the future, since most games aren't that taxing CPU wise, currently. That should total about 380-400€, in my usual portuguese hardware store. I woul advice against a h80i, there really are better solution, both termally and accoustically. The good things going for it are aesthetics and less motherboard strain, due to weight. Just get a hyper evo, ivy cant be OCed that far, and spending 50 more for 100 mhz is just... not ideal. Save those 200, sell what you have and when the next gpu gen comes, you can buy a 770 and be done with it. Edit: Just saw the 3 PCI-e requirements, that means you have to count with at least 50 more, and at that price I would go for a Sabertooth, just love the design
Weird, I run far cry 3 and borderlands perfectly I think my cpu with yours is like on par and my gpu is slower on this page: http://www.surlix.com/us/pc/classement-complet-processeurs.php?id=279 It shows AMD Phenom II X4 B50 5660pts Intel Core2 Quad Q9450 5403pts on this page: http://www.hwcompare.com/8630/geforce-gtx-470-vs-radeon-hd-6770-1gb/ it shows the gpu performance But from what i see, it might be the resolution difference
It's not that I don't plan in getting an SSD, I do, and I'd like more than one, but it's not really my main priority I wasn't really decided on what to do with the old hardware, really, in the event of managing to sell the cpu-ram-mobo combo that will be of a really nice help. Getting the 3770k is really a waste of money for what I need imho, I understand what you mean, but for the e-peen (lol) I'd get a 3930k Yup, the RAM I'm using was dead cheap, it was just to replace some never-worked-right 4x1GB OCZ Platinum EB 1600MHz CL6 I bought 4 years ago with the rest of my current hardware. (How I miss my old Corsair XMS2 675 CL4 OCed to 1066 CL4 lol) Selling old hardware is only an extra, and by extra I mean new RAM, GPU, cooling, etc. Unless any of those fits in my current budget. Whatever comes after, is bonus! Thanks for the mobo suggestion, that one is quite cheap! Português! Conheço essa loja, vou dar uma vista de olhos! Back to English: Yeah, I only use one monitor for gaming, I'd use both if I could lol. Oh, I feel that games currently are starting to get quite CPU taxing rather than GPU, as I said on a previous post, Far Cry 3 was making my 9450 "scream" as if it was being Prime95'd all over again. Currently not planning to change cooling. If changing mobo, I'll get an adaptor from Noctua to place my NH-C12p on the LGA1155, my case albeit big has a major flaw where I can't put coolers that are too tall, or they'll interfere with the 200mm side panel fan. Later on, maybe custom watercooling Unfortunately, those scores are theoretical. It's not that Far Cry 3 runs that bad, it doesn't, at least without MSAA Anti Alising on. Getting between 35 and 70FPS on Ultra settings is not bad, averaging around 45~50 FPS. Borderlands 2, it runs really well, aside on specific places where frame rates drop to about 25. I do if I have the chance, but that mobo does accept SLI or x-fire. And from a review I read, its pretty good, the only downside of what I wrote is the 4pin on the CPU instead of 8. Thanks for the recommendation.
Ok guys, sorry for double posting but I thought I'd give an update to this current situation. I managed to get my budget doubled So, I guess christmas came a day earlier for me lol. I pulled the trigger and got myself a whole new rig! woot Case: Corsair Graphite 600T White Motherboard: Maximus V Formula CPU: Core i5 3570k GPU: EVGA GTX 670 RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 2133MHz CL11 2x4GB Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i Unfortunately I can't put it together yet as the motherboard and case are back ordered. They should arrive sometime later this week. But I already did some tests with what I could in this rig, the GPU I can safely confirm that my CPU is absolutely being a bottleneck. Here are a few rough benchmarks I did in a few minutes, but enough to take big conclusions. FarCry3 No MSAA Antialiasing: GTX470- Min: 35FPS, Max: 75FPS GTX670- Min: 35FPS, Max: 75FPS With MSAA AA 8x: GTX470- Min: 20FPS, Max: 28FPS GTX670- Min: 35FPS, Max: 38FPS Absolutely no change at all without MSAA AA. The GPU usage stays at about 60~70%, whilst CPU skyrockets to over 90% on all cores. Borderlands 2 VSync on: (I don't know why but turning it off it keeps capping at 60FPS) GTX470- Min: 20FPS, Max: 60FPS GTX670- Min: 35FPS, Max: 60FPS GTX670 usage when on min FPS is at about 30%. GTX470 as physx was at about 15%. Still the same problem as before. TES 5: Skyrim ENB on, no SSAO. Vsync on: GTX470- Min: 32FPS, Max: 60FPS (An average of about 40FPS) GTX670- Min: 60FPS, Max: 60FPS I got a big improvement on Skyrim, as I suspected. I'll post a build log when I get the remaining parts. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks everyone and merry christmas.

INTELLIGENT FLIGHT CONTROL has
been tested in the mock cockpit (top) of the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator (bottom) at the NASA Ames Research Center in California.
Image: TOM TROWER NASA Ames Research Center
On July 19, 1989, as United Airlines flight 232 cruised over Iowa, the fan disk of the tail engine on the DC-10 broke apart, and the debris cut through all three of the plane's hydraulic lines. Because the pilots could not move any of the jet's control surfaces--the ailerons on the wings and the elevators and rudder on the tail--a horrific crash seemed inevitable. But by carefully adjusting power to the two remaining engines, the crew managed to maneuver the plane to the Sioux City airport. Although the jet flipped over and caught fire after hitting the runway, 184 of the 296 passengers and crew members survived.
The pilots of flight 232 proved that it was possible to control a modern airliner using only the engines. And this discovery led some innovative engineers to wonder if they could program flight computers to achieve the same feat, making it easier for a crew to safely land a heavily damaged aircraft. This research has been gradually progressing over the past 15 years, and the technology could be incorporated into commercial and military planes in the not too distant future. To judge how well these computer-controlled flight systems perform, I decided to see if they could enable a moderately experienced pilot like myself to fly a crippled jet.

Good Eats, bad vibes: former cooking-show host Alton Brown
Food series 'nearly killed me'
For 14 seasons, dapper, bespectacled Good Eats host Alton Brown made savory cooking look like a piece of cake. Behind the scenes, things weren't so sweet.
The 50-year-old chef recently looked back on the Food Network series — the final new episode of which was shown earlier this year — and how it all became an unhealthful obsession for him.
"It was my life's work up to this point," he told the TV-and-movie guide Zap2it.com. "For 13 solid years, I spent 80 percent of my waking hours on planet Earth either thinking about, researching, writing, shooting or editing Good Eats. It also nearly killed me."
His Good Eats days, however, might not be over permanently, Brown said.
"I put Good Eats into cryogenic holding," he explained in a recent Nerdist podcast.
"I'm not saying it's gone. I didn't shoot it in the head; I didn't kill it. But after 13 solid years of production, I needed a break. . . . It eats your life."

Plutocrats: The Rise Of The New Global Super-rich And The Fall Of Everyone Else
By Joseph Cooper and Paul Leary
11/07/12 - Wednesday's Topical Currents is with financial journalist Chrystia Freeland of Reuters. She's written the book, PLUTOCRATS: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else. There's always been a gap between rich and poor in this country, but never has there been the class of global super-rich. There's even a wide gap between the elite rich inside the quote, "one-percent."
Video from Moyers & Company presented on public television by WNET in New York and distributed by American Public Television (APT).

Hey guys, I want to spend $1000 AUS on a new pc for a friend. I want an Intel based system.. Im thinking of the E6300.. Maybe a second pci-e for crossfire later on.. Everything else i haven't deciced on, so all help is apprciated!! Thanks in advanced.
Well I will help you out, but you need to go find a few things for yourself first. I recommend going and finding the best parts you can get for 1000 AUS, so peep's can view them, and tell you what would be better for the money, and performance wise.
Hey, alright sweet. I'm planning on getting everything from here: http://msy.com.au/Parts/Promotional_W.htm This system is for a friend, he mostly plays, Battlefield 2 + 2142, FEAR, Call Of duty 2, SpellForce 2 and Oblivion.
How about a pentium D (thinking 3ghz) with 2 gig DDR2 and an ATi 1800XL PCI-E (or 2 in crossfire) with a nice 250G SATAII and some type of Intel motherboard... That should would be under 1000 USD I believe but I don't know about aussie money.
That website looks dodgy. Looks like a four year old created it. Dont buy from it! List of decent websites: http://www.Ebuyer.com http://www.Newegg.com http://www.savastore.com http://www.dabs.com http://www.amazon.com The games that your friend plays are not really that intensive, any midrange system could play them. However, if he is planning on installing Windows Vista along side some Direct X 10 games extra consideration should be taken care of. Below is my recommendation if he wants an AMD system. Ram: 2GBs of ram (1GB minimum) Motherboard: any AM2 motherboard with PCI-E Processor: Athlon X2 4400+ (minimum, dual core is a must) Graphics card: Radeon 1600 pro/XT 512mb (this card is really cheap and can play all those games you listed on high settings. Its only a budget card so he will need to upgrade it to another budget Direct X 10 card begining of next year) Hard disk drive: 400GB ( 320GB minimum) - He wont run out of storage any time soon CDROM: DVDRW Drive capable of burning Dual layer discs
Guys, guys relax MSY is one of the best sits around here in AUS ...i got my mobo and case from them Its actually a pick-up store too, so you cant really get ripped off brutalface...go to www.staticice.com.au for the cheapest of prices. You can get an E6300 (OEM) for less than $200 .

um dont get a pentium-d not good, very bad, very very bad lol if u wherent set on intel i would say a 3600+ x2 chip and decent overclocking board, 3 ausi's i know got them and the lowest overclock any of them got was 2.8gz(800mhz overclock) and that due to board bios issues over 280(281 and up board dosnt even post) u cant get the 3600+ x2 in the states easly, but in oz its readly avalable!!!! i wants one!!!!
I reckon the rig i made up there is pretty good, well, for under 1k (and believe me, you wont find cheaper than staticice's prices here in AUS )
Wow I like the sound of that. Thankyou very very much , its great to have so many people who know what they're talking about. Unlike myself.
Only think it didnt have is crossfire If he's willing to spend an extra $100 or so, he can upgrade to the P5B deluxe, which has more features + crossfire, for $277 @ MSY (BTW, most/all of the sites on staticice are pretty trustworthy...i built my comp using them, and everything came really fast and worked really well. I paid via bank deposit tho )
The 1650 Pro is ok ,but it won't run games like oblivion, and f.e.a.r on high with a high res. Maybe if you overclock it some, but if I were you, I would go for a X1800 series, or X1900 series. Yes they are more expensive, but in the long run you will be more happy. Remember in gaming, a GPU is the heart pretty much.
id go for an X1800/X1900 for him too...but they would be more expensive (id say, around $150 more)...pushing him out of budget Altho, i reckon it would be better to stick with the P5B mobo, and get a X1800/X19*0 card, rather than get the P5B deluxe and get 2 X1650's (around the same price overall)
