The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

I think I’m done with my “top of the line circa early 2014” build

Mobo: Maximus Forumula 7
CPU: i7 4790k, Corsair h100i AIO cooler
GPU: EVGA 780ti Classified x2
Mem: 16gb g-skill 1600 mhz
HD: WD 2tb green, WD 2 tb black, 256gb Sasmung 850 pro , 3tb seagate external
PSU: EVGA 1200 w platinum
Corsair Carbide 540 case, nzxt mesh fan controller, asus 12x bd drive.
Corsair k70 keyboard, Proteus Core Mouse

Still chasing that 1080p/60 fps dragon though. One day I’ll max out gta V.

Not sure they have usb 3.0 MoBos that support my i7 version chipset… But I haven’t looked.

Money also got pretty tight. Going to be a dad and a homeowner in the next few months.

That’s a great build @Kromo. Should 1080p/60fps just about everything you throw at it

arcade wireless VR.

also oculus has released something called positional timewarp which helps a 10fps image in the rift become more like a 50fps image. this coupled with other tricks and dx12 should make judder a problem of the past. judder used to kick in with anything under 60fps

this shows the difference from a 5fps image http://gfycat.com/JealousMeagerKestrel

Try looking into a USB 3.0 pci express card

I did not know those existed. Interesting… May have to see if I have the space. Gtx 980 covers up a lot of my mATX board.

Hey guys! Feel free to add me on Steam; I’m always looking for people to play Skullgirls and Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend with! (My username: ThugBard). I’m pretty disappointed in my random matchups in BB:CSE…people like to disconnect if I win and be bad sports.

Also, if any of you still play Titanfall, add me on Origin, username: ThugBard

Anyways, I am curious: I haven’t been up to date with PC hardware in a while. If I were to build a tower, is there a well priced pre-built option these days or would I be better off ordering parts? I’ve been on sub-par laptops since my old tower fizzled out seven years ago (not that it was top-line then, anyways).

I had to buy a pci card on my last pc because the fucking video card took up so much space in my pc.

Capcom games sale on Steam, up to 80% off. Wondering if Chronicles of Mystera is worth picking up? DMC reboot? Strider?

Use pcpartpicker.com and pick out your own stuff. It will make sure what you pick out is compatible.

Pre built rigs tend to skimp on components. Mid range gpu (which is fine) but lower tier psu/mobo/ram. Source: me getting a pre built in 2009. things may have changed since then, but that’s my experience. I’ve upgraded my psu, ram, and gpu over the past 6 years.

anyone played Tera before? i’m wasting all my gaming time on dota 2

Tera the f2p MMO? Well, if you’ve played World of Warcraft already, I suggest passing on it. I couldn’t get into it at all when I tried it for a while. I heard end game was horrible with RNG to improve gear (grinding), but that was a long time ago.

Been thinking about building a pc for a while. I think I might wait later this year when windows 10 gets released. Not sure yet.

@Valaris reply to my offer

Strider is pretty good IMO

You guys should get Bionic Commando and Dark Void for $2 a pop. I have them on PS3, some of the most underrated games from Capcom last-gen(really fun, really solid third-person shooters at their core with interesting mechanics and gameplay scenarios.)

I only have one USB 3.0 port in my PC and I don’t think I have anything that actually takes advantage of it.

Hell ya, totally aware, in Japan currently so I have updated anything and will not be able to play until I get back. I have been reading that witcher 3 has been getting good reviews though.

I’m outi

Works nice with USB stick and with my mobo, it charges my phone in no time.

Thank you so much! :slight_smile:

game is ight for the time being.

i never seen so many lolis in my life though. so odd.

My racoon warrior reigns supreme.

It’s fun to play, but it isn’t hard enough. I keep losing interest in it.

Witcher 3 unlocks 6 pm est according to steam. Pretty excited to fire it up.
