If I lose this game what do I lose in life? Time.

FTFY.

Sometimes you also lose money.
Anyway, the issue at hand here is a wee bit more complex than just "it's a game". You get mad because your mouse is shit, or Windows updates decides to bug you about a restart when that boss you've been grinding on for half an hour is at 5% HP, or internet connection goes poof, or game crashes. In MMOs, you rage at horrible RNG or evidence of class imbalance, or in some cases it's simply lack of fairness from game mechanics.

It's not really about losing a game; it's about losing a game due to specific causes and/or for the umpteenth time. The frustration level builds up, and most times the root cause is the game itself: the way it's designed or coded.

Confirmed. I have a library of over 1000 movies, about 60 full TV Series and close to 10K music albums. Out of all, the only mild issue I have is when trying to find something in the music repository. PLEX search kind of blows, unfortunately.
Furthermore, if you have thousands of albums in one place, scrolling down a lot yields weird behaviors.

The fact that I wasn't rubbing my dick on /. 10 years ago doesn't prove shit anywhere except in that tiny brain of yours.
Or maybe I posted as AC for years and years. or maybe I had another account. Or maybe I didn't care creating an account for a long time.

But keep going with that retarded "ner-ner, your ID" mentality. It would be funny if it weren't sad.

Bootlicker.

Most brand desktops (Dell, Lenovo, HP) have crappy PSUs which are rated 250W or less and can't support a separate GPU. I tried, even with the 650. Furthermore, in some cases the PSU form factor is non-standard, then what?

"So if you have a modern, high efficiency PFC power supply" - keyword being "IF".
My Corsair HX520 from home fuels GTX660Ti and 2 HDDs, i5 3570K CPU (overclocked) and so on. No problem there. But my work Lenovo at work doesn't even start when I plug the GPU in (GTX 660).

Somehow you don't understand how modern graphics cards are working.
If you don't plug in the extra juice, they do work, but in a limited mode and although I'm not 100% positive, that limited mode excludes 4K resolution by default. Kind of defies the point.
Also you're talking of saving 200 USD after investing 1K. Not really a bright idea, is it?

Not playing devil's advocate, but you also need a top-o'-the line graphics card to support that resolution (400+ USD each) and in order to put that into a business PC you'd need a beefy PSU - which is about 200 USD a piece. So the total cost goes up 1.2K USD. And the monitor will only do 1080p on a laptop, unless it's a 2K+ special laptop.

Still a good deal, I'd say, but the $500 mark is biased.
