Much like Santa, I have distributed your gift of reps! To the very good have been given more. To those who cannot tie a tie have been given less!

Locally, my buddy and I are going to start trying for carp (much more challenging). And there are some trout in the streams during the 1-2 months of winter we have here in central Texas, so might have to try them as well.

Yeah, Florida is where my sights have been set on for Tarpon. Reds looks like a blast too. I caught a show on tv about fly fishing for Reds and was hooked (

).

Guys need opinions. Found someone selling a gaming desktop San graphics card for $200. These specs decent?

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80 GHz CPU, 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 Memory, 240 GB SSD drive, ASRock 880GM motherboard, Antec 600W PSU, Brand new Corsair Spec M2 case with windowed side panel.

The CPU/MoBo combo is the killer. Rather old and dated. If you plan to game, it'll be the main bottleneck of the system. $200 still isn't bad for a Matx case, 600w psu, probably slow ssd, and 8GB of ram. I'd pull the trigger and just upfrade the Mobo/CPU to something new.

I'm gonna think about it for a couple days since being unemployed I have to be careful with my money

I second these opinions.

I'd probably be using it for Forza mainly

As far as I know, Forza Horizon 3 and onward all require current-gen GPUs, FYI. I couldn't get it to work on my old rig, but my current 1080ti build runs everything great. I'm not sure what the hangup is, but it just would open on neither my old rig nor my laptop.

Save your money then. Not worth it. Especially if you have no work currently. Let me dig around at home. I may have a brand new 600w EVGA bronze PSU at home I can ship to you. It's sitting under my bed collecting dust I believe. I may have other random supplies as well to get you started. Just remind me later tonight when I get home.

Less posting, more repping...

Clam, send me a PM with your address. I have some spare desktop parts you can have if you're looking to eventually build something. 600w power supply, some static pressure 120mm fans, a stock cpu cooler, sata cables, and a few other random things.

I'm sure I have some bits and pieces laying around too. Also have a 980 GPU (desktop) I will let go for a good price.
