I guess I kinda have to say you are, mainly because I just got done playing the game you kindly donated for that contest.

@Undead_terror Doesn't the 3DSXL has enough battery power?How much power do you need?
LOTS AND LOTS UNTIL MY ROTTEN EYES BURN FROM NOT BLINKING FOR HOURS!!!
But nah, I just wonder because I heard that the battery of a XL is almost the same as the normal 3DS which is not long at all, I had a nyko battery pak for my original which was good and had a nice grip to it, would like one for the XL!
I need help from some of the more technical people.
I bought a GTX 760 a while ago, and have had it in my PC since then. I'm wondering what the weakest processor is required for it to be no bottleneck? I currently have a AMD Athlon II X3 445, which have a total of 9.3GHz.
I was thinking of buying the AMD FX-8320 and see if it does any good. That one has a total of 28GHz, which is thrice as much if you can compare strength like that.

Totals don't matter when it comes to processors. GHz is a speed. However, it seems you found a good processor, but first, I need to know how many cores each processor has and how fast it is (the GHz, your computer should tell you).

@brewsky You could actually do the math
But anyway, mine has 3 cores with 3.1GHz each, and the one I'm looking to buy has 8 cores with 3.5GHz each!
Yeah, I thought that was the case, but I wasn't sure because having three cores is a little odd (to me, at least).
After looking at the specs, it looks like you might not be experiencing a bottleneck, but I'm not too sure. 3.1 GHz is a good speed, but having only three cores is a little lacking to say the least. I'd say if you can afford it, go for it. You would definitely experience a boost in your performance in more ways than one.
But, I would consult with other tech-savvy people as well. I'm not exactly bursting with confidence here....

@Kewlan Nothing is wrong with having 3 cores, it's just that I'm so used to computers having an even number of cores (excluding single core processors) that it seems odd to me to have a processor that has 3 cores

@brewsky Oh okay, well I think the uneven numbers go up to 5.
Anyway, according to PassMark the FX-8320 is a little less than four times stronger than my current one.
I might get it to see if I can get butter smooth 60fps on TF2 and of course other games. Right now I notice lag when I have multiple Google Chrome tabs up and play the game, as well when there are lots of players on the screen.

Waiting patiently for my textbook trade in to go through. Amazon is going to give me $100 (in a gift card) for my programming textbook I used last semester (one of the worst books ever, by the way). Amazon offered me more money than my school did. Even though it's a gift card, I can easily spend $100 on Amazon.

@Kewlan Don't get your hopes up, a computer science class was required for me to graduate.
I'm studying to be a meteorologist.
