    1st PC Build (Be Gentle)

    You can always add more RAM if you need down the line, 8GB is good but the more the better.
     
    Where I wouldn't scrimp is the CPU. For rendering in particular. So, wait a little longer, save a little more and go for minimum i5. Is my recommendation [emoji4]

    1st PC Build (Be Gentle)

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Well. The holidays are coming around and I've wanted to build a PC for the longest time. My laptop just doesn't do it anymore. I ultimately wanna just stick this baby by my TV and play there (32 inch Panasonic TV).

     

    The games I typically play on my computer aren't very crazy. I tend to play older games that I've never tried before. Old Fallout, Bioshock, (I'd love to play the first and second Witcher games!!!), I play a lot of co-op games with my friends on my laptop. We will run around and play Overcooked 2, Battleblock Theater or Trine, even Diablo games. But i'm at that point where it's impossible now. 

     

    I love LoL (haven't played that in forever, it just can't handle it anymore!)

     

    In a nutshell, I play with IRL friends and I get my alone time when I play on PC. As opposed to the PS4 which I'm pretty much in a party the whole time. So don't worry! I'm not converting! I need to build an introvert machine.

     

    THE BUILD

     

    I've been watching loads of videos. This seems to be pretty 'budget'. I'm questioning the memory though. If I had a nicer computer, i'd like to try and edit videos properly. So any ideas?

    Memory: G.Skill NT 8GB ($65.99)

     

    Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ($41.00)
    Kingston - A400 120GB ($21.99)


    Video Card: EVGA GTX 1050ti ($194.88)

    Calling All PvP Players

    Does anyone know if this double and triple Valor applies to the competitive play list ? Have been grinding this not very successfully. If it does apply it could be a double whammy as you  get points for normal crucible by playing the competitive mode.
    I believe so.

    Who's Pre-Ordered?

    in Call of Duty

    Posted

    Do beta keys get into circulation much? I don't want to pre-order and I don't want to pay for a key either but with no open beta date confirmed; I'm wanting to give it a try asap. There may be sites offering giveaways and whatnot but I haven't kept up with it. 
    My cable provider usually gives me a Beta code for CoD. Other than that, I'm not sure how else to get one.

    I haven't played Overwatch in a while. A majority of the people that play it are in the UK so I always miss out on these things. But Saturday I have a morning shift! Which never happens on a weekend... So maybe we can organize something!

    Someone play Overwatch with me!
