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

What the actual fuck has he done to his face!? I know he’s had some subtle work done over the years including teeth but this is utterly ridiculous and definitely a botched job. At first it looks like severe weight loss with his gaunt appearance but actually it’s apparently a bad filler job and some other wayward injections. People will deep pockets should just grow old gracefully instead of putting themselves into an irreversible catastrophe of surgery and other terrible procedures. Oh well, it may drum up interest and viewers for his range of tiresome shows..

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.

I'd consider going for a SteamDeck, as building a PC has become pretty expensive. It really depends on the type of games you'll expect it to be able to run though to be able to recommend anything.

He lost something like 4-5stone. Fair plays to him. Of course he’s going to look different, especially when he’s plastered in makeup too for interviews. That’s a bad pic of him and it has been made to look bad too. He’s not shy of Botox etc but let’s not get into body shaming someone because of their looks…..

Awesome, thank you

Yeah, I stopped playing Battlefield 4 within the first week because of the netcode issues and other bugs. Just when I thought it was safe to return, the invisible wall glitch materialised so I left it a good 6-7 months and upon returning, the game was slowly improving and when it was finally perfectly playable, every expansion had been released and there were over 80 weapons so it was a remarkable package overall. Battlefield Hardline was just lame and BF1 was pretty stable but just not for everyone. Battlefield V was another major disappointment - awful relationship brewed between the developers and community and we received a fairly broken game upon launch and with them spending a good year on fixing that, we missed out on several pre-planned expansions. BF2042 took the absolute biscuit though with so many staple features missing, conceptual woes and some really odd design choices. With all DICE's experience and research over the years, it just defies belief how they released it in such a state and the decisions they made. I just hope next time they can get it right day one rather than year one being a case of trying to get to square one.

The standards were pretty high in Quebec when I went. I don't think I would have succeeded as well as I did if not for them. The kids in the extended family all went to different schools, the latest to graduate was about 5 years ago. We have 2 accountants, 1 doctor, 1 biochemist, 1 dentist, 2 pharmacists, 1 architect, 1 engineer. So they must have been doing a reasonable job of it

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 😅

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 knew Biomutant would be a freebie the moment it released. It's pretty decent now, and going through the ME series again could be fun. DKO may be another surprise hit. Who knows.

Nothing new about this this. The warzone loot mode has the ballons to extract your cash. It would be nice to have in order to eliminate extraction camping. Since all teams know you have the case and were you are, extracting is dangerous and difficult. That would make that much more difficult for the opposing teams

Episode 21 is LIVE!! Do black Friday deals suck for gamers? Did you survive a black Friday trampling? And Sarah asks what game would you like to play again for the first time.

I'll give the gun to whoever wants it. Just let me know.

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!

Here we go again, look at that lineup from Chelsea... Scared much?

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

So I don't watch Soccer, sorry, I prefer HandEgg (US Football) to it, but I keep hearing mention of the Hillsborough 1989 disaster Looked it up; and DAMN also, apparently this happened a few days later as a sign of solidarity Four days after the Hillsborough disaster, in the European Cup semi-final between AC Milan v Real Madrid, the referee blew his whistle two minutes into the game to stop play and hold a minute's silence for those who lost their lives. Halfway through, AC Milan fans sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

BALE! My days what pace... Ran from his own half leaving the defender for dust and a composed toe poke finish in the end... RM 2-1, should hold out now for the win

Ewww umbro, and to think they were the England sponsor for years and years!

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!

Who's after podolski?

Wouldn't have been sent off had vert not pulled off his oscar winning performance... I like spurs but I hate to see games change due to such antics, yeah the guy touched his face but vert really made a meal of it... After that though adebayor was just immense again...

Dat name doe.

Those pesky refs.
