Man, you people are using the wrong carriers, and I guess availability also may have a lot to do with it. I used to be on AT&T with my aunt and even though we had a data plan, I kind of felt like we didn't even have any data because with her soaking up most of the data (no complaints here because it is her account with me as an add on, but that's just the way it seemed) and then adding her grand daughter to the plan who seemed to do nothing but stream YouTube videos and other stuff it seemed like we hit our data cap before I even really got to do much with the data on my phone. I now have a 6 GB data plan with T-Mobile with data stash and Binge On, and Music Freedom, and I barely use any of my data, and it's only $65 a month for unlimited talk, text and 6 GB of data, and Binge On and Music Freedom are free as part of my plan. The only reason I have 6 GB is because that is the minimum qualifying plan where you can use Binge On. I can stream YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and just about every other video streaming service you can think of without even touching my 6 GB of high speed data I get every month. Thanks to Binge On and Music Freedom I've used 20 MB of my 6 GB of allowed high speed data so far. It's really nice being able to sit in my car and stream all the YouTube videos I want without touching my allotted high speed data. We have wifi at work so really the only time data gets touched on my plan is really when I'm browsing Facebook or checking out reddit while sitting around in my car.
"Unreasonable amount of disposable income", that's quite a statement. Earlier this year I just did a complete rebuild that consisted of everything except for RAM and a video card and it ran me right around $750. That included a motherboard, processor, power supply, heatsink, thermal paste, etc. A video card and RAM would have put me right around $1000 for the best processor money could buy at the time and a pretty feature heavy video card, when people are out here dropping $2000+ just on televisions. Hell, people pay that per month on vehicles alone. I really don't understand people who make these bold claims.
And as others have stated, PC Part Picker pretty much makes shopping effortless.
It puts out enough TFLOPS to be on par with current gaming machines at this present time in 2016, but Project Scorpio doesn't hit until 2017. Probably late 2017 at that. There's also more variables that factor into gaming performance than how many TFLOPS the GPU is putting out.
Pretty much every modern browser out there has flash included, so I can't fathom why anyone would even have older instances of flash installed. I literally go through my programs on a weekly basis, and if I haven't used it that week it gets deleted.

That's... not a very good rate. $61.44 for 6 GB of data, when my current plan gives me 6 GB of data for $15.

Scrap video card, but a feature heavy motherboard. Trying to multi-task to many things here at work.
