Phyxie:
How's the tegra? Does the game stream thing work well?

The game streaming works very good for me with pretty much everything I've tried. I've tyested it with a few big AAA games but I really mainly use it to play gamecube games on dolphin and sometimes other emulators which is really nice because even though I could just get, for example, an snes emulator like SNESoid and play my games on that it is nice to be able to store every single ROM for every pre gamecube/ps2 consoles on my server and play them on my tablet anywhere.

TI83, TI84, TI84+, TI84+CSE, TI89 Titanium
TI84 ? That doesn't exist, or I missed something ;)

Shhh pretend I just said  TI-83+ there are too many similar names, I get them mixed up sometimes.to be more specific I have 3 TI-84+'s and 2 TI-83's (one of which I tried overclocking the cpu and failed. The cpu is indeed 2.5 times faster but the LCD doesn't seem to like it.so I imaging I messed something up somewhere)

Don't get me wrong I'm not planning on jumping right into a full scale emulator, maybe a nice pong program first kek. and I think TI used the z80 again was because from the TI84 to TI-84CSE not much really changed other than the screen, ram and Flash memory  (I think?) everything is pretty much the same as before but with a bigger color screen and a newer OS. As for the CPU emulation, the Gameboy uses a 6502 which is very simimilar to the z80 using the same opcodes as a stock z80 for all but around 20-30 custom instructions. The NES uses a 6508 which is just a custom motorola 6502 CPU so I am expecting (hoping) that it will be similar and I will be able to sort of cheat the opcode translation.

I only know that the ez80's max is around 50MHz from past projects, it porobably wont be that high but from tests done I've heard it performs arithmitic, graphics io and memory access about 2.7 t0 3 times as fast so I think a number between 40 and 45 is a reasonable guess. Than again I could be completely wrong. Now that you point it out a gameboy emu wouldn't be as fun. An NES emulator seems very possible it only runs at 1.79MHz compared to the gameboy's 4.194304MHz.. Plus I am already very familiar with the 65o816 processor from my SNES emulator and the NES uses pretty much the same cpu only 8 bits (the 6508 CPU). I still have to learn how to program for the z80 before I can do anything though. (If anyone passing through has any good resources or tutorials it would help a lot).

Gah, TI-84+CE is what I meant, wasn't thinking right. That was one other reason I came back to asm programming for the TI calcs. one of the things I hated was TI continuing to use the z80 in the TI84+CSE and for the types of games I want to make, without being an asm wizard, I would need more than the 15 MHz z80. I've heard that the TI-84+CE will have an eZ80 processor which has potential to run at 50MHz which should be more than enough for me to achioeve my end goal of creating a Gameboy emulator or at the very least porting a few games. Also as a sidenote Engtlish is my second language (natively Polish) and I think I can speak it pretty good now but I do make stupid mistakes sometimes so sorry in advance if I do.

First off I was never a forum person before and I don't like trying to jump into large communitiews but I founds this site looking for info on the TI83+CE and saw that it was pretty new so I decided to give it a shot. About me: I've been programming for the last 10 years and have done everything from making games to writing emulators and even a bit of that hacky hack. Recently I've been very interested in making SNES ROM hacks, mainly Super Mario world. even more recently it reminded me of how fun it was messing with TI's calculators. I started learning to make asm programs and never really got far because I didnt have enough time. Now I've started learning again and that is part of why I ended up finding this place. I really want to learn more about writing assembler code and thought this might be a good place to ask questions maybe with all the other TI developers here. I'm also an osu! player I also noticed a couple osu players here which surprises me, I haven't ever really seen any outside of osu itself even though there are 5 million players.

Did I completely miss the part about electronics or was that an edit? Either way heres my list of electronics

Buy instead the 4970K, it's overclockable and can easily reach the 5GHz

I agree completely, for the slightly higher cost you can get much more performance out of the unlocked version. I only have the 4970 because I saw one on ebay for about 140 dollars, I wasn't even looking for a CPU at the time but I couldn''t pass it up for that price.

Welcome and how's the 970? I'm planning on getting the Asus one.

The 970 is really impressive, I bought the EVGA superclocked edition with the acx 2.0 cooler right after it was released when it was only 340 dollars and it has been able to handle everything I've thrown at it. I also recently got a 4k monitor and havent played many games on it yet but most will run great at 60 fps. last I saw it has gone up quite a bit in proce but it is still more than worth it.

Nice build too, did you buy it and upgrade it or build it yourself?

Thanks, I built it myself. It started out as a small upgrade to my old machine but I ended up replacing everything except the power supply.
