And the answer is: A lot.

Min fps might be a problem but avg seems doable.

i3-2100 ~ 70% i3-4360 but these are 1080p max settings.

Maybe 60-65% of the i7-6850K @4.0 GHz but again 1080p max settings.

720p, but with 2 cores + SMT and that i7-6700K only running at 3.0 GHz you should still get 80-85% of that.

And on top of that nVidia wouldn't launch a 1050 Ti replacement right away. From the 1080 to the 1050 Ti it took 5 months.

All right.
You do see though how this

could be misinterpreted as talking about the game that just happened.

Let's see how much they struggle against South Korea.

@SpaceCadet
You don't get the point.
12/16 world cups since 1954 with top 3 finishes. True.
They won because they were better than Sweden and could get away with this bullshit. Also true.

But struggling against much weaker teams and winning only half of those matches like in the past few months is not "showing what it's like to be consistently one of the best teams in the world".

Winning like that is only possible when they're one of the potentially best teams playing against a weaker team.
Being in that position where they have to win like that is because they haven't been playing like it.

When you're only looking at those last few minutes then it's not about being being consistently one of the best, it's just showing 10 minutes of brilliance and a lot of teams have done that without ever being the some of the best for years.

Really, this game didn't show that they are one of the best teams, it showed that they could be, but really aren't playing like it right now 80-90% of the time.

EDIT:
To make it clearer: Performing well under pressure is not exclusive to teams that have been amongst the best for years. If you're only one of the best teams this year and were bad the year before and will be bad again next year you're still allowed to do that.
Consistently struggling and more than occasionally losing against teams that you have 4:1 odds against or better (according to elo) should be exclusive to teams that are NOT the best.

So while no one is arguing about the fact that they have been consistently one of the best teams most of the time in the past, this game does not show that at all.

Hahaha, no.

And no offense, but that guy's got problems getting an XMP profile to work, what makes you think an attempt flashing to an older BIOS won't just result in a bricked mobo?

Glhf running an old BIOS when Spectre is a thing.

I think the problem is how do you define a "consistently one of the best teams". If a team could beat basically anyone, but rarely do it because they don't play to their full potential, are they "consistently one of the best teams"? Imho it doesn't really matter if you are one of the best in theory, but don't actually win.
On the other hand does winning through sheer dumb luck make you a good team? Probably not.

I don't think there is any doubt that Germany has been one of the top teams in recent years (before that maybe not so much), but in this world cup they haven't looked like it so far.
The results of recent games which in include highlights like losing to Austria and barely winning 2:1 against Saudi Arabia are not something that should make you say "that's one of the best teams".
They got away with it against Sweden through the power of bullshit and sheer dumb luck and maybe because they are in theory one of the best teams, not because they are consistently one of the best teams.

or tl;dr
Playing poorly for most of the game and then somehow winning every time makes you "consistently one of the best teams".
Playing poorly for most of the game and then winning maybe 50% of the time against teams that are in theory much weaker does not.

And I still think it's hilarious, way more entertaining than if they just did the good old "actually play well, never let them score a goal, just shoot at theirs 100 times until we score one and then sit back and relax for the rest of the game"-strategy.

Did we watch the same game?

Step 1: Play well without scoring any goals even though you need to.
Step 2: Make a completely unnecessary and stupid mistake.
Step 3: Get super depressed.
Step 4: During half-time break get told that you actually need to win and to do that you need to score a goal.
Step 5: Bombard the goal with bullshit shots until one of them sticks.
Step 6: Keep doing that until you get tired of it.
Step 7: Repeat from step 1 and play well without scoring any goals even though you need to.
Step 8: Make a completely unnecessary and stupid mistake.
Step 9: Get super depressed.
Step 10: Realise there is no more half-time break and just straight up pull some bullshit out of your ass at the last second possibly with the help of undeserved luck.

This had no right to work. And I don't think a better team (sorry Sweden) would've taken those first 10 minutes of the second half like that.

For real, it's not a sign of consistency if you're good enough to win 10v11 but somehow fuck around most of the game running the good old "if we make no mistakes we can't lose"-strategy and then make mistakes and get super depressed because that wasn't the plan.

Definitely entertaining though.
If the loss to Mexico leads to match against Brazil in the Ro16 then that will probably be hilarious as well, regardless of the result.

It's a matrix. Rows send the activation signal (top down scan we all know) and the colums set the voltage=intensity. You need both.

Row drivers are just about the least complicated thing in the whole display, the signal just rotates through all pins. There is no reason for the driver IC to fail just on those rows. Unless they've down some weird 90° rotated bullshit this is just the usual setup where ~100 or so pins connect to one ribbon cable which then goes down the side on top of all the other ribbon cables and plugs into a connector somewhere. One of those cables (or the connector) is either fucked or pulled out halfway.

#1
Should be the display, not the GPU.
Probably fixable by a professional, not sure if you want to try it yourself. If the cable is just loose you could do it, but if it's more complicated than that probably not.

Why would you need a different PSU and case?
Why is overclocking the 8350K a bad idea?
The 8600 is slower in TF2 than an overclocked 8350K and more expensive.

Yes.

It wouldn't change a thing, it's TF2. You could pay 7 chinese guys chinese minimum wage to do the calculations by hand.
Unless the config you use is a max quality/movie config.

Case is mostly preference so anything with an even remotely sensible layout, dust filters and ideally at least 2 fans should be fine.
The XFA240 is a bit cheaper and better iirc. Since it supports FreeSync you could get an AMD GPU if you want to be able to use it.
The RX 570 is even more overkill just for TF2 but so was the 1050 Ti. RX 560 (or even 550) would be fine if you're really not going to play anything else.
I haven't asked but I'm assuming you will be overclocking the 8350K?

Yes.
Do you need a case?

Other than that cheaper mobo, faster RAM, should mention that the Seagate Barracuda (ST1000DM010) is slightly faster, cheaper GPU, cheaper PSU, added an SSD.
You could go for a slightly cheaper SSD or monitor to stay within budget or go SSD only if 250GB are enough.

What do you need more? CPU or GPU? Because realistically you can't afford both. Sure maybe 10% for both but you might as well overclock instead.
Any actual GPU upgrade would mean 250-300$ (570/580 or 1060) and you still need 50-100$ for the mobo, ~100$ for the RAM. Your budget is gone and you have no CPU.

Pick any case that you like. Dust filters, 2 fans, maybe look at reviews.

I think it's some kind of fruit.
