Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Anyone jumping on Pillars of Eternity next week. I thought I had Kickstarted it but was Torment that I backed so I preordered on GMG.

Time flies as this one snuck up on me. Been looking forward to it, but so much to play now.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I'm back into the PC master race.

I7 5820K 6 core
Asus X99-A Motherboard
MSI GTX 980
16 GB 2400 DDR4
1 256 GB SSD
2 1TB HDD
Hypo Evo 212 cooler
750 watt power supply
Corsair Carbide Spec 02
3 120mm case fans, I would have installed 2 more but the Hypo took up all the room at the top of the case.
26 inch BenQ monitor

I reached the point of where my old build was too old and could no longer be upgraded, so I sad F it, I'm going to socket 2011-v3 and DDR4. Oh yeah I'm still using Windows 7, I hate Windows 8.

Damn son. That's nice.

I felt the same way about Win8 and stuck with 7. When I finally tried 8.1 though I've had no regrets about sticking with it(using with Start8).

Yep that's what i do. I was an early adopter of Win8 before all the drivers were there and abandoned it until the 8.1 update came and I like the fact that it uses less resources and just as fine to use with start8 as windows 7....compatible with my windows tablet/laptop as well. Not having any issues.

I also agree... man, what game did you see to prompt you to put together that build Madskillz? .... let me guess batman? lol

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I use Windows 8.1 with start 8 and have zero regrets. At first I didn't like it but start8 was a gamechanger for me personally.

Well I said for the past 4 years I am going to upgrade my PC but never did and now it got to the point the motherboard got outdated and left me no upgrade path so I figured might as well just start from scratch.

And when Nvidia announced the Titan X for $1,000 I said yeah I will just buy the 980 for half that price. And the recent batch of PS4 games coming in at 900p just irked me big time. So I said it is time for me to build a new rig and just go all out.

But yes, also Batman

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I don't think a video card should ever cost as much as the rig itself.

I NEED to know how you guys gather all these funds to just upgrade these things on the fly like it seems like.

I'm gonna pawn my car title for the 390x, seems like a good idea.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Still sitting on a 7870 2GB over here.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I hear ya! I'm still rolling with a 7850 2GB from 2011...granted, I've OC'd it a little, but the amount of vRAM still limits me a little. My goal is for my GPU to last 5-years each iteration and still maintain better quality than consoles. So far, the current GPU has done very well.

I've been putting away a $100 dollar bill each time I get paid. So in 3 months I had $600 and did the main upgrade. Now I have $200 in my wallet and next Friday going to throw another hundred in there. Then it will be 970 time or I'll wait another 2 weeks and get a 980.

My 560ti has run its course and its time to upgrade to 4 gig of vRam.
