Was playing a game, got disconnected and the update started downloading!

Hello to all the fine folks in r/buildapcforme! I'm hoping you can help me out here. I have built in the past but it has been a long time and I'm hoping to get the most bang for my budget here. I've been lurking here and on r/buildapc for a while and I'm finally in a position where I can actually pull a ~$1000(USD) trigger. I've made a stab at putting something together on PCPartPicker (listed after the questions) but I'm far from an expert and almost certainly am wasting money/losing performance somewhere. Also, I'd like to avoid the "Sweet! I've got $1000 worth of components here in front of me, time to assemble! Aaaaaand...I'm missing a $5 doohickey that will prevent me from even bootin

I hope this is the right place to post this and I'll try to be brief. My old(ish) receiver gave up the ghost a while back and I'm now looking for something to replace it as I'm tired of listening through my TV's speakers.

The dead one is a Yamaha something-or-other. I liked it because it had 4-in-1-out HDMI as my old TV only had 1 HDMI port (I know, I know...). I had my TiVo Premiere, PS3 and AppleTV all connected to it via HDMI and it to my TV also via HDMI. All was well. Then I stopped getting audio and it seems as though something has blown in the receiver. Luckily, my new TV has plenty of HDMI ports so I've temporarily just plugged everything into it. It's...okay, I guess, but I want

I do. Apparently. To all the [rdt]ers in that knife fight a while ago: SORRY I WAS SHOOTING! I had no idea it was a knife fight until after I read the 12 messages to me saying, "KNIFE!" "KNIVES!" "ONLY KNIVES!!!" "KNIFE FIGHT!"
Yeah, I'm a bit dense sometimes, but I finally figured it out. Too bad I'm terrible at knifing...

Hi all! I just found this subreddit and it happily meshes well with the fact that I've been addicted to BF:BC2 multiplayer for the last month or so. I've actually had the game much longer but only ever played single player because I generally don't like (read: suck at) multiplayer FPS. I kept reading how awesome it was in BC2, though, so I decided to give it a go and--much to my surprise--I had a blast from the get go even though I did suck! I don't really know why, but even when I'm getting murdered repeatedly by level 50s I'm still having fun! I've gotten a little bit better (I'm up to level 6) at holding my own but I'd like to get better at the squad/teamwork aspects. I've only go

Does anyone else have this problem? I haven't had a kernel panic on my machine in years. I re-installed WoW a couple weeks ago and have since had 4 kernel panics, all while playing WoW... It could be some combination of WoW + something else, I suppose. Just wondering if any other Mac users have had this happen to them.

So, yeah. this was me 9 months ago and things are still pretty much shit for me.

Long story short: I was an imperfect but faithful and loving husband married to an imperfect, unfaithful and unloving wife. The man she cheated on me (and is still in a relationship) with was my friend and boss and while he is no longer either of those things I still have to work with him in a small company (his office is right next to mine). Almost all of my friends are also friends with him.

I feel like I'm barely keeping it together.

I'm angry, sad, lonely and depressed and I don't know how to "just g

(I'm usually just a lurker around here, so forgive me if this is a bad post.)

This is a semi-shameless plug (but not karma-whoring), I'm not in the band but I am dating one of their sisters! ;) I've seen them live a few times and they are awesome. Was hoping some of you might enjoy them, too. I particularly encourage listening to Blue World:

I'm not sure this is the right place for this; I'm definitely looking for frugal suggestions but it goes beyond that. My story is long and sad and boring to anyone who doesn't care about me so I'll try to tl;dr the context: My wife wants a divorce; has been carrying on an affair for over 6 months; the "man" in question is--nee, was--a friend and is also my boss. :(

So, here's the thing, I have severe depression which has (naturally) worsened of late. I'm in therapy and trying to "turn my life around" a bit but one thing I've been having a lot of trouble with lately is eating regularly. I just don't have any desire to do so but, of course, I need to. I go to the grocery store, look at things
