    Low cost PC build

    Lee, wake the fuck up and read this properly:

     

    First off, no, you don't need a monitor. A telly will do, but it'll be slightly fuzzy. This won't really matter much in games, but you'll definitely notice it on the desktop as the icons will be a bit blurry. Secondly, you'll probably have a bit of input lag. This is the time between you moving your mouse and the cursor on the screen actually moving. In movies and TV shows and stuff, this doesn't matter but in gaming you'll notice it. HOWEVER! This won't be an issue until you're playing competitive games on a reasonable level. For the level of gaming we play, you should be fine. Also, most tellies have a "gaming mode" which effectively turns off all the fancy schmancy image effects and pumps out the image as quick as it can. This doesn't eliminate input lag, but reduces it significantly. 

     

    Secondly, the pc part picker he used is called.... wait for it... PC PART PICKER! You can spend hours on that fiddling, tweaking, etc. It'll show you the current prices for most hardware components at various retailers, but it still helps to shop around yourself and see if you can bag deals. Even if the price is the same, some places will chuck in a free game or whatever. Also, ALWAYS check Topcashback and Quidco. 

     

    Another site which is excellent is logical increments which gives you a rough idea of how certain components compare to others. If however you just want to compare performance between two graphics cards or CPUs, then use GPUBoss or CPUBoss. CPUBenchmark is also pretty handy. Keep in mind however that although one game might get 200FPS on your system, the next game might only manage 30. This is due to the load, the way games are coded, how much is going on at once and how well the game is optimized.

     

    Lemme know if you need anything else :)

    reddit.com/r/buildmeapc will do all the work for you if you want them to. Give them a budget, the types of games you play and boom. My build was done by comparing different prebuilts they have stickied. 

     

    Cheers both. Thats a great help to know Didds, I didn't think the TV would matter at all especially at my level of gaming :D 

     

    I'll take a look at both, I don't tend to ever use reddit if i'm honest though as I get lost a lot. What's annoying I used to know a bit about PCs but forgotten most of it over the years so need a part dummies guide. It's coming back slowly though. If you can show me the right basic build to start with on there that'd be grand.

    Yeah, top post Crispy. You have me teetering on the edge of PC partpicker. Can't believe you got everything that cheap. Considering I wouldn't look to buy a monitor straight away and put it through one of my TVs that price is fantastic.

    So who's pre-ordered and playing the beta?

    I promise you, you won't regret it. You get to still play games with us, want more you want ;)

    The racing was great. I really enjoyed it.  I have some very funny videos to upload.

     

    But let us never speak of the Dawn raid mode again.  How do you take skydiving, guns, night vision, thermal cameras, more guns and suck all the fun out?  Ask Rockstar, because they fucking nailed that task.  Honestly the least amount of fun you can have, where even winning feels like losing.

     

    I've just told @LordBaguette and @Amnotright to turn their voices on so they record. There wasn't many voices on the video I streamed. Some great stuff though!

     

    And you on that bloody raid, we actually started to have fun and then you started moaning ffs.

    Having 9/10 of us last night on this was brilliant. What the hell happened on those hills when we couldn't get up them I'll never know.

     

    Gary definitely gets Most Improved Racer!

     

    We need more of these and see if we can get a full 16 in the lobby. I recorded most of it via Twitch so I'll see what fun stuff I stored. Good stuff everyone @techno @LordBaguette @Greboth @Diddums @crispymorgan @Amnotright @Stretch616 @burnfitbillyboy 

     

    Next time @phil bottle and @tronic44 need to get their asses in gear and get on earlier :D

    Eurogamer 2017 - FG Meet Up! 22nd-24th Sept

    Tam @burnfitbillyboy

    Right. We need a larger meet up. I've spoken to quite a few of you and I know this can work so lets make sure we can get as many FGers there as possible.

     

    Event - Eurogamer 2017 (EGX 2017)

     

    Venue - NEC, Birmingham

     

    When - Fri 22nd & Sat 23rd - We need to decide whether we should do one night or two nights. 2 would be great but I get it may be down to availability and cost.

     

    Cost - Tickets are £19 for Friday and £23 for Saturday. Entry 11am to 7pm.

     

    Gut reaction is try and find hotels cheap enough for 2 nights and go to Eurogamer on Saturday. If more can afford it and can book a day off then some/all can do Friday too but we could all meet up Friday night, get settled and then have a good old time on the Saturday at Eurogamer with a few beers along the way.

     

    Hotels will probably be £20-30 each so not much at all if we're block booking. I'd love to find us a spot where we can all have to ourselves but not sure where that will be just yet.

     

    There's not been a large meet up for the last 4/5 years ago so let's try and make this work everybody? We all due a drink together IRL.

     

    Let us know ASAP if you can be in or out on the dates. Let's make this happen!

    Yeah they started turning his head part way through last season. 50 mil is a good price for a guy who can't cross (check Lineker 's tweets lol).

    His tweets were hilarious! Shame the money turned him, I thought Spurs was on the up.

    Please tell me you have the power to change Lee's title from Administrator to Irritating Teacher :lol: 

     

    Oh ofc he does. Just as much as I have to change his to bumbling dumb moaning cuntybollock.

     

     

    But it'd be pointless as he wouldn't see it anyway ;)

    Your Best and Worst sounds of Destiny

    in Destiny 2

    Posted

    The IGN feature today got me remembering and realising how much I enjoyed Destiny 1.

     

    You can not beat the sound of your favourite Exotic smashing on to the screen with a massive thwomp. My other love is the Vex Mythoclast shooting in Crucible, ending with a Crucible kill sound. So satisfying.

     

    One of the worst has to be on Prison of Elders when the alarm goes off for the bombs. Yeah, you know it's horrible.

     

    What's everyone elses?

    This is looking as good as the The Last of Us, if not better with open world mechanics. The 11 minute video below just shows how much the dynamic weather and scenery changes the way the environment is and what you are up against. Only watched a few mins at work but I'm sold already on this.

    You know those irritating over-enthusiastic teachers from school? The ones who want to knkw your favourite colour, smell, what you ate for breakfast, etc?

     

    That's Lee. 

     

    That's why you love me so much. It's clear you want to tell me all of those things now. I can sense it ;)

    It's all gaming dude. No PC / Console hate here. 

     

    • I don't think PUBG should have it's own section. Outside of a map and one resource website there's really nothing content wise that's worthy of a forum for it. 
    • Let's avoid making to many subs, it'll just mean we have dead empty rooms when we could be posting them in the genre they belong. If you want it to grab your attention you could flair your posts with the game before the title. [PUBG] Best places to spawn, [Warframe] New updated xxx

     

    We can also have topics 'Feature' like they do now in the image slider.

     

    Especially, going forward the feature presence makes a massive difference. You only have to ask to get it featured.

    I assume so. Haven't got a code. Ordered digitally though.

    Via the FG App
     

     

    Yeah, I seen a video this morning about it.

     

    Anyone that ordered digitally just gets access to the beta by searching for it whereas everyone else puts a code into Bungie.net and then get the code to redeem via the PlayStation Store.

    He was moaning the other day it wasn't working so assumed he hadn't been on.

     

    Just need @GazzaGarratt to join in now too.

     

    I may need to ask Bart or you to help me just sort out my file issues. If its installed then I'm more likely to dip into it when I have spare 30 minutes. It's just getting it to work properly and last time I tried I messed it up somehow.
