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 🙂

Anyone familiar with this game? It's about two decades old and is currently free but will soon release a premium version on Steam on December 6th. This iteration looks majorly overhauled and has been in standalone development many years. Game is notoriously complex but with incredibly deep systems apparently. The majority who play it say it's a cult classic but it's one of a few games that have passed me by over the years but I'm tempted to give it a shot this time

Just seen this, absolute gamechanger. Will be using this for sure!

Yeah he never struck me as being overweight ever really and his weight loss has been a process over many years apparently. That’s why I was a bit shocked at the latest picture because it certainly isn’t what he looked like a few months back. Looks like a dramatic sudden drop on top of some facial changes which has caused the stir. The picture actually came from a short video which he deleted due to ‘concerns’ from fans and probably his PR team.

Thats awesome! I didn't know that I found that I was just mounting at every single corner when trying to get those challenges, I found mounting on crates in strategic areas on domination was quite useful. You can also mount on the deployable cover.

I lost 40lb and everyone was asking me why I chopped my winky off.

I think Tom @LordBaguette is doing the same thing. You'll probably find you'll only have the Gold challenge to do on some of the guns when you go back and check them.

Welcome to FG @Tove ! Nice to see more gamers join in on the fun here and online. Mw2 and OW2 are pretty solid in groups and we certainly play both of them of late. Definitely more fun that way too. Looking forward to seeing you around the other sections here and hopefully we'll try and get a few games online too soon! We hope you enjoy your stay at FG 👍

Fingers crossed that you get better sooner rather than later, Pat @cyberninja2601 . Sending our best wishes your way ❤️

Bring it on!

You must have gone to school in the rose tinted land of narnia or something as my teachers were all nutters, and that includes the nuns 😅

Crazy that they have a fully functioning cash shop but haven't finished implementing solo yet or other simple features🤣 Game had quite a long and significant beta phase plus it's released with other issues on top. I may wait and then give it a try on Game Pass sometime.

SO-14 is gold. That has been the worse gold grind so far. Not a good gun at all. Battle rifles are done. Well on to LMGs

I’m sorry to hear that, Logitech peripherals seem to so rarely break it’s some bad luck. As for recommendations, if you want console and PC support then you’re looking at Logitech again, Thrustmaster or Fanatec. There’s a massive difference in price between the 3 so it depends on your budget as there’s a massive price difference between them. I don’t think any are particularly over priced so basically get the one that fills your budget. You said you didn’t like the Logitech pedals, maybe look at Thrustmaster as they have some loadcells pedals which should be better without breaking the bank.

I hope so, although we've had similar issues with Fifa 21 that persisted all the way through... This one is a major one though 😞

I hope they sort out the dodgy kit issues etc before the new year then! looking forward to getting stuck into Fifa 22 Pro Clubs with the boys!

Brilliant goal by Bale. Fingers crossed for Chelsea tonight. Although, after watching Liverpool this season it is hard to not want them to win....

Nice of man city to ease some pressure on Liverpool... Everton, wtf... I wanted them to beat arsenal to the champions league place, didn't expect them to lose...

A few weeks back I would have agreed with that... But now after today's result and how close Liverpool actually are, I don't think they will mess it up now, for me it's down to the Chelsea game only...

The home and away kits look horrid... But the 3rd kit is an interesting design, I actually quite like it...Warrior does just look cheap and nasty anyway, Liverpool need nike! EDIT: Apart from the buttons, I hate buttons...

Yes they we're shit, 1 piece of good football when Schurlle hit the bar... Yes I'm bitter because I very much like PSG , but even so that wasn't good from chelsea

Hmmm... which will be more exciting? Barca playing keep ball or bayern playing keep ball? I hope atletico beat barca, that is all...

This is a nerveracking end for me, i should be feeling safe!

Suarez with another hatrick... He's got the most league goals in Europe, and he's drawing with Fabregas for most assists. Ridiculous.

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...

How about the Liverpool result eh eh! Great performance but UTD didn't help themselves yet again they just look lost and broken... Bit annoyed about the 3rd pen, there was no need for simulation, game was own and there were plenty more chances to follow, heck sturridge should have had a legitimate pen afterwards and no doubt would have gotten it had he not conned the ref previously...

Ibra <3 4-0 in the first half of a last 16 tie, psg just ripped them a new 1! Cabaye scored aswell... Such a poor decision from demichelis, he and everyone else knows he's a snail, should have just let messi go and let hart have a chance to save it, at least it would have still been 11 v 11... Man City played really well apart from that, had some really nice pieces of play, kompany, silva, negredo and Nasri eh. He came on were all excellent...

Brian Laudrup was godly.

Jose moaning again .

Ugly Delap.

How does that throw in affect the offside rule?
