Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Oh wow that sucks, I had a M17x, the headphone thing broke and they did not have the part so they sent me a M17X R2, when one of the videocard's died the sent me a M18x. I never even really used the original M17x, got it as a gift.
Since you are doing photo editing, a Core I7 might be a good cpu for you because of the hyper threading. But you could still get away with a cheaper 2500k.
Since you are doing, just gaming and web browsing, I would say that you have no need for either of those cpu, if you must choose from either one of those cpu, then go for the 2600k, if you are open to other cpu options then go for the 2500k, you don't seem to be doing anything that justify's the...
Ok, thanks for the input, I was never talking about upgrading to 2670, I was thinking about the extreme cpu. I have used a computer with a SSD, and I could tell the difference, I just did not think that it is worth it.
I don't understand I was using a I7 740qm cpu, and then came to the 2630qm when I got the M18x, and there was a big performance boost. I don't want a gamecube, I can't make it run in 1080p like I can on the computer.
