  1. Thanks for that James...the spec is really where I need guidance. There are sooo many to choose from. Another thing to bear in mind...it must also be able to run Minecraft at high frame rates!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  2. I think pc components are possibly cheaper in the US Rob... I priced the closest available CPU, memory, graphics card and hard drives you have in your post signature at Scan UK and it came out to Β£1,073 ($1,410). That's without mobo, case, PSU, monitor(s) keyboard and mouse Via the FG App
  3. My bad, I missed the β€˜2’ πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  4. Just played on this for a while. Graphics are retro, the actions seem smooth. Looking forward to the FG private matches! πŸ˜‚
  5. Thanks for the initial response guys 😊 If I don’t need to spend the budget I won’t..still need to eat! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚....Crispy, there is no way in this world that I will ever stream! And I like the idea of two screens as well. I take on board what you say about patience...I’ll carry on decorating Bedroom 3 (aka Gaming Man Cave) in the meantime and I think Ive located a suitable desk as well. Remember the bit about longevity though guys...I want this rig to be good for the next 5 - 7 years minimum please
  6. I quite enjoyed what I played but I would be interested, as per the conversation with Nick, Kempy and yourself, in knowing other peoples way of approaching all the different powerful reward options we now have. I prefer to knock out the easy ones like complete one Gambit match, one Crucible match, Nightfall, etc then move on to the weekly stuff that takes longer then after that Quests etc.
  7. As I've mentioned to a couple of you in chat parties, I'm looking in the next 4 - 6 weeks, possibly sooner, to buy a gaming PC setup so I'm looking to you guys for help and advice I will starting completely from scratch as I only have a laptop at the moment so no K+M or monitor. Although I have built a PC before, I don't really want to go down that road this time if I can avoid it so I need to be advised on reputable PC builders What I want is a setup that will deal with most things thrown at it in High (?) Quality settings for the next 5 - 7 years. I've thought about VR but I can't see myself getting involved too deeply in that. I would prefer air cooled but want it to be reasonably quiet. I'm not overly concerned with LED light shows. I want twin displays with each having two HDMI inputs as I want to have my PS4/PC on one monitor and PS3/PC on the other (IIRC the PS3 is HDMI?). Do graphic cards have two HDMI outputs now? I don't really understand monitor display resolutions, G-Sync, 144, UHD etc so I really need hand holding here. Size wise, I'll be sitting at a desk thus will be quite close to the monitors so I don't think I need anything massive With regard to CPU, I've had Intel in the past but am willing to try AMD. I've read somewhere that CPU and RAM pairings have a sweet spot for speed? I think 16mb RAM would be best? I'm not worried about overclocking as I sort of understand it but can't be arsed about it (sorry Phil). Speaking of Phil, it has to be capable of playing Star Citizen as this has been the PC itch that started all this and it needs scratching! Headphones - I have Astro A50's ...is it easy to switch between PS4 and PC with these? Do they autodetect any changes? So, in short, it wants to be reasonably mid - high spec machine, well balanced , good quality components, good quality builders with a decent warranty, twin monitors, keyboard, mouse - any other thoughts would be welcome as well Budget....Β£2,000.00 - Β£2,400.00 tops. The closer it is to Β£2k means I can get a few games to go with it so don't feel obliged to spend all the budget!! πŸ˜‚ Thanks in advance guys, I'm looking forward to seeing your recommendations
  8. I must say I’m glad Real are out, don’t like the β€˜just turn up’ attitude and particularly Mr Ramos
  9. Nope...the firm he’s working for pay for his training which will be day release so during the academic year it’s one day a week at college and four days at work. He had a trial period with them doing basic work and they liked his attitude and application, so took him on.
  10. Yeah, but not for small rooms! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  11. Roll on 5.00 !!
  12. I like the fact that the boosters only get you to 640 and not 650
  13. I need a satnav for Minecraft!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  14. This please!
  15. It would be really good if you could do a beginners guide to classical music thread
  16. Happy birthday Euan and everyone else I’ve missed over the last few days!!
  17. I like the Muse boys normally, but β€˜Pressure β€˜ is the only track doing it for me at the moment...I’m finding the rest a bit insipid
  18. Nice one! I tortured my parents practicing violin for a year when I started secondary school....they were quietly relieved when I gave it up. Beautiful instrument when played by a pro... Don’t be a stranger!
  19. Really looking forward to this! πŸ‘
  20. Happy birthday Bob!
  21. Bit late but happy birthday! πŸŽ‚
  22. If you buy it, make sure you have cancellation insurance!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
  23. Here you go Lee...let the oats presoak for an hour or overnight then takes about 10 minutes on the job... this has some sultanas in the bottom of the bowl then pour porridge over the top...keeps you going a long time [emoji106] Via the FG App
  24. He doesn’t like it.. I do...it’s all subjective and opinion
  25. This. Try porridge, the real stuff made in a saucepan, not the instant crap. Flahavens (?) Irish Jumbo Oats are terrific. Add blueberries or similar as well. All good stuff πŸ˜„πŸ‘
