I'm so far out of the hardware loop that I couldn't even tell you whether to go AMD or Intel anymore. So to that end I'll suggest selling the kid and pooling the money for his PC and going to Vegas instead.

Intel or AMD for a CPU is a little from column A and a little column B. On the top end, AMD releae a new chip and tale the lead, then Intel release a new chip and take the lead then rinse and repeat. More mid-range it gets a bit murkier as I’m not sure on the price to performance. I’m also not certain of prices in USD but for a similar budget here you could get something like a Ryzen 5600x or Intel 12400 with appropriate motherboard. I’d recommend 16Gb RAM with as fast as you can get, probably 3200MHz at minimum. I’d also recommend getting an M2 SSD as they’re super fast and you could re-use your existing drives as additional storage. PSU it depends what you end up speccing and future proofing you want to do. Once you have a rough idea of spec there’s plenty of PSU calculators online. I’d guess you’ll only probably need 500-600W at most. Though depending on how long you expect the PC to go for and if it will see futude GPU upgrades, it’s cheaper to spec higher watt one now than have to change in the future. Corsair, Seasonic and SuperFlower are generally the top brands but it does depend on specific models. Case, I’m sure you could re-use the existing one as not much really changes in cases design except for the addition of tempered glass and generally a reduction in hdd bays. So up to you on if you want to switch cases. GPU, I’d imagine you could get a RTX3060. Dependong on USD pricing and if you don’t want a case, you might be able to go for a 3070. Though even a 3060 is 4x or 5x faster than a 480 so would be a massive improvement. If you go on PC part picker you can spec a PC and share a link for us to look at. For some reason, on my phone, it defaults to UK so can’t put a US build together.

Hi Ally, we play on Monday Nights mainly. If you're interested I've put up an event, you can RSVP: https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/index.php?/events/event/916-monday-night-football-🏆/

My logistics journey continues slowly but surely. I’ve fully paid off my initial loan so it leaves me with just ~£4.5k a day to pay in loans. So, with no help from crashing and speeding tickets, I’ve saved enough to buy my second garage. Though I don’t yet have the money to buy any trucks to fill the second garage 😄 Only need to save ~£200k for the trucks so shouldn’t take too long. I’ve fully ranked up the long distance and high value on my drivers so now ranking up their hazerdous materials. Hopefully, once everything is fully ranked up they will start earning some better money. Though £4-£5k a day total isn’t to be sniffed at but it’d be nice to earn a little more to help towards more trucks and garages.

Hey folks, I'm Tove and am new around here, late 30s lifelong gamer dad. I'm mostly into FPS and Fighting games. Most recently playing the new call of duty and enjoying it at around 100 Hours in. I used to play a lot of Dead by Daylight but had to step away from that earlier this year and have spent most of it trying to find a new main multiplayer game which I seem to have found in MWII I thought it might be Overwatch 2 but the solo experience on that was just dire. I've been looking for somewhere to post and chat with others about gaming! So you might see more of me in the forums!

Welcome dude, whereabouts in SW? Add us on PSN, you can make us look good in CoD.

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm from South West UK

Hi trouble 👍

Thanks guys. I feel fine at the moment, just waiting to test negative to get the all clear to leave the house and take the dam mask off

I hadn't noticed that so far so thanks for sharing Kenny! Funnily enough though I believe there is an automatic setting that I seem to have switched on that helps me auto mount whenever i'm close to things so I've not had to worry too much about mounted kills just yet. I'm sure for the long range ones though I'll need this!

Can't believe Championship is slowly getting going again already, where has the time gone?? Hopefully the small break will help keep the league competitive way into next year. Its definitely been a mental year in the Championship as everyone is beating everyone. This is the year for some surprises in that top 6.

I recall you saying this and I think its a great option for a free game as its not shoddy by any means. Wish ME had the multiplayer side in it...

Some fantastic upsets just showing why football is loved so much being one of the most unpredictable sports in the world. Really hoping we can carry momentum into the Senegal game today. I really do think it will be a tough match and probably more stop/start than a full flowing game. Feeling positive still though so come on England!

Do I absolutely need to use a wheel for this? Just thinking sometimes to hop in here and there may be just a ballache getting my wheel out every time. I picked up the version with some xpacs that were on sale so all in all cost less than 10 quid. Just need to find some time to get on over some weekends so I can get used to it. Whats a good first objective to aim for?

Absolutely fucking disgusting behaviour tbh, who puts alcohol in a paper cup? 😡

Welcome to FG 🤘🏻

Episode 22 is LIVE!!! We talk about some choice decisions by Wyrmwood, a decent selection of freebies for PS Plus in December, Grounded, and my choice of games while I've been home sick all week.

Got the Icarus done today. The best gun in the game in my opinion. I needed to get the mantle kills done. I have a 2.1 K/D using that gun. Nothing else I have compares to it. Also did the SPR 208. I really like that gun too

Welcome to FG. Hopefully get some games in with you at some point.

Hey everyone, hope alls well, I’m interested in joining you all on pro clubs 🙂

Sup fellas I got a $500 gift card from some work stuff, and spent a few days looking for crap to buy and couldn't come with anything that wasn't just spending to spend. My son is pretty into PC gaming and has a bunch of friends on discord that play together. Currently our setup is a rig that I built about 10 years ago - i7-2600k, GTX 480, 8gb, a few SSDs and SATA drives, Sabertooth p67 board, dual monitors. Not anything fancy in today's terms but it was a big chunk of money 10 years ago and thankfully it's still working really well. I had the store build it for me originally but I've taken it apart and cleaned it a couple of times so I'm not opposed to buying everything separate and building it with my son so he can learn. Given all he knows is that 10 year old rig, I don't see any reason to go crazy on budget and buy top of the line stuff so I'm thinking a max budget of like $1k USD. I would think I could get at least the same specs as my current setup 10 years later for that budget amount. I think I spent around $2500 for the original setup and hopefully Moores law gets me better than that for this budget. I do want to future proof this a little bit but I don't know how much is too much in terms of device specs and I don't want to go overboard for no reason. He can use his own money later on to upgrade this as he wants. I don't know anything about todays current standards for gaming requirements, so just looking for advice on what you would buy if I handed you $1k. Everything he plays now has zero issues on our current setup but thats mostly minecraft and he's getting into mods and fancy stuff. If the budget needs to go up that's fine, I just figured this was a good starting point and with the gift card it would only cost me $500. I'm not including monitors in this, I have a bunch of good ones collecting dust and we can make that birthday presents or he can buy them if he wants. Appreciate any suggestions!

Id never thought id the see day someone would be writing threads about Simon Cowell on this forum

I've played it on SteamDeck and on PC, all control methods are fine, kb&m, controller or wheel are all good.

I’d say a wheel is easier simply to do the long curves and lots of buttons for things. Though I’d imagine you can do it on a controller reasonably well. As for first objective, in the beginning you can only take paid jobs as you don’t have a truck of your own. You can either keep doing them to earn enough to get your own truck or you can take out a loan to do so. Once you have your own truck you can start taking your own jobs.

Covers off more extensively what isn't great with the game. Looks not very enjoyable from a combat perspective.

@phil bottle @Diddums @RenFengge @TurboR56Mini @Greboth @Tar-Eruntalion and any other PC people that have some better knowledge than myself where to spend his money?

I had the RPK gold way before the Icarus. I kept hearing how it was the best LMG. I don't personally have the level of success with the RPK that I do with the Icarus I think my K/D with the gun is around 1 while the Icarus is 2.1 so I clearly play much better with the Icarus. Not sure why but if it works, don't mess with it. I have even been bringing the Icarus in DMZ and it shreds those armored guys

Someone I work with mentioned this to me last week, as they were excited about an impending update version. I'd never heard of it and had to google it...but apparently its a very highly rated old game. I'm also tempted!

Bring it on!

Hope it stays mild but listen to your body and rest when you need to. I caught it but, thankfully, I had been vaccinated so the effects were mild, like having flu for a couple of days. Still took me a while to be 100% though

Happy to play this for free on gamepass but is lacking a number of important features. Can't play solo and no crossplay between xbox and Steam. Shooting and movement feels good, if very similar to Vermintide. In fact it's essentially a very good reskin of the Verminite games but I'll wait for it to be finished before I consider spending any money and buying it.

I think it's more DMZ specifically. 💀 Warzone 2.0 will soon add popular Metal Gear Solid feature WWW.GAMINGBIBLE.CO.UK The feature was spotted by one eagle-eyed player.

I'm sure it will get sorted dude, in the mean time I'm trying to train the pup to sleep on a Monday evening so I don't have to keep dropping in and out lol

I still think it's stupid, people need more time, yes it may be the same team as last years title winning side but I still look at that squad and think there are very few top quality players, it's a very average squad all round in my opinion apart from the strike force if it was fully fit... Managers need more time to build there own team, even if SAF was there still I would see this UTD side struggling...

Almost every game over the past 4-5 days has had a 1 minute silence before kickoff, really nice gesture even after all this time, and all the 1s I saw have been really good, so quiet and peaceful...

Damn I forgot premier league was on! Watching copa del rey final...

There would be such a stink if courtois was the star of the tie, and can you imagine if the tie went to penalties and courtois wins it for atletico... will be a better tie if he can play, atletico will need a good keeper, if Chelsea decide to come out and play some football that is...

I fucking hate Chelsea! I knew they would win and I even texted my brother saying it would be a 2-0 win... But still, it's the whole anti football tactic that prevails once again... They will probably win the whole thing again playing like it aswell...

Was banned for like 6 games aswell...

Wednesday is make or break for UTD... Come back and win you could get some momentum and beat spurs to 5th. Lose, and that club falls apart, moyes would probably go... However I'm struggling to think of who would take over... I bet a return for SAF would be the bookies favourite...

Vidic to inter Milan end of the season...

That could quite possibly it for arsenal... Liverpool NEED to win tonight, can't see Chelsea slipping up much a all...

Been nothing special so far, I can see Toure making one hell of an impact tonight though.

Mike Dean bottles an obvious red card for Nastasic. Referee's make some odd decisions at times.

Chelsea accept Mata's bid. I wonder if he'll be the first Man Utd player that'll ask for a relegation clause in his contract .

Ugly Delap.

How does that throw in affect the offside rule?
