This is supposed to be a "geeks" forum unless I got a wrong impression from its name!
Tech Guru is one of the few guys in here, or maybe in Lebanon in general, to push/touch the boundaries of the tech.
I congratulate you for doing that, as few of us can. You're paving the way for many of us!
Can I buy that? Of course not! (heck I still didn't even buy a gaming PC).
Should I/you buy that?! Maybe not! But who cares when it's your money and your decisions.
Enjoy it man! :-)
I am a bit surprised to see that you actually think these are "geek" related, content-rich, technical posts, and not attention seeking posts.
Actual geeks on these forums can read right through this article copy-pasta, and can tell that Tech Guru and people alike fall right into marketing crap, then try to forcefully feed them down everyone Else's throat.
You know what's funny? This thread is coming right from the same person who posted not long ago, that a
second gen i7 is still good for gaming in 2018 (not gonna go look up the thread...). Just to tell us now that his 8700K, the divine chip of overclocking goodness, is
potentially going to bottleneck his
not yet installed 2080Ti... lol
You see, if you want to call Tech Guru a tech enthusiast pushing tech in Lebanon... well no. Have you ever watched any hardware related YouTube channels? Jayz2Cents, PaulsHardware, Hardwarecanuks, GamerNexus, LinusTechTips, etc...? These people fiddle around with crazy hardware all the time! And not one of them will ever trick you into some marketing scam to buy some overrated product. Linus even made 3 episode rant on Intel,
who happen to be his sponsors, blaming them for un-derperforming and re-branding on each release, instead of actually making advancement. He also made an episode about the all-mighty ASUS PG-Whatever 4k 144hz screen, and recommended for people not to buy it! Unlike tech guru who would tell you to go buy it cause it's the best of the best, and you should totally just do it.
What I am trying to say, is that a lot of us actually read, watch and are generally up to date with hardware advancement... Tech Guru is just an attention seeking, easy buying consumer. And this is one more attention seeking thread.
But hey, he got our attention alright...
