    I apologize if you've been treated poorly based on your build, but please know that not everyone cares about specs.
    I may be a bad example, however, as i enjoy to upgrade my computer fairly often, but thats because I'm merely a PC enthusiast before a gamer. I do it for fun, not to brag, and I know many are the same.

    If I may ask, what made you come to this whole conclusion? Was it during a gaming session, or on a forum or something? I may just be blind or biased, from being a PC lover for like.. 12-15 years, but I dont think ive seen anything like what you speak of.

    In saying that, im usually not really a fan of playing online anyway (despite my ~1000hrs of Dota 2) but thats because people can be annoying, but thats not a PC only thing, its a social thing.

    Couple of forums and all over facebook. *shrugs* Not that big of a deal, but it was pretty upsetting. At least I still have my games.

    Aaah, I see. Never liked facebook... Might be why I don't see it. I'd take it with a grain of salt and not base everyone the same as those, however. Aye, the games are most important for a gaming-oriented PC:twi:

    Still, if you'd like any help with anything PC related, let me know.

    Yeah my pc was also an extreme budget build but it manages to just play the latest games on the lowest settings so I'm happy!, I generally don't play any of the newer titles anyway, I like to go for game series that I know are good and games that I've played before in childhood, I don't play new game titles until they've been out for a while and have a reputation.

    As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
    I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
    But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
    You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
    At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
    Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
    And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
    Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
    I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
    Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
    But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
    Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699​

    A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
    I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
    I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
    'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
    But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
    An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
    I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
    And my homies agree, I really look good in black...fool
    If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
    We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
    But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
    We're just technologically impaired​

    Ah "Amish Paradise" I sung to that song more than any other in my entire life.

    Well actually, since you mentioned it. Sometimes my screen will flicker a little bit kind of like an old TV. It's not horrible, but it's noticeable. All my drivers seem to be up to date. I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. It happens randomly all the time, not just when I'm playing games. Any ideas?

    Hmm.. Sounds more like a cabling/signal issue, are the cables tight and secure? No strong bending on the cables? Is there a way to test the monitor with another cable, or try the monitor with another computer, or something along those lines?

    I used the same monitor on my old PC and it worked fine. I have an HDMI and DVI cable I can try it with. All cables seem to be in good placement. Also, it doesn't show up on screenshots.
