ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | Sick. Man I just started piecing together my own custom PC that I'll get once i save up some $$ |
ThunderNeutral21
06.23.12 | yea dude if u build yourself (my friend did most of the stuff i couldn't do, but i do suggest building yourself if you can) you can save a lot and you get all the parts that you truly want/need |

06.23.12 | How big is the harddrive? |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | Yeah man. My only problem is I don't want to pay for the OS lol |

06.23.12 | PC is gay. |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | But then again I may just use Linux or something |

06.23.12 | pc 4ever
i have the old g15 and its so much better than the new one i will never get rid of it |
xStayxTruex
06.23.12 | I was jk. PC love |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | But yeah by buying the individual parts you can basically get a PC for like 800-1000 that would be probably 1600-1800 if bought it all as one |
SiliconFields
06.23.12 | Nah dude, ASUS monitors, EVGA graphics cards, solid state drive. . that's how you do it |

06.23.12 | *my friend and i |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | That's a sweet rig. Yeah, building you own pc is the way to go. You can make a great machine yourself that would cost about 1500-1600$ at retail. |
ZombicidalMan
06.23.12 | Nice, I need to do something similar... yesterday my PCs internal temperature was apparently 90 degrees celsius. It'll be dead soon I imagine. |
ReturnOfTheDnor
06.23.12 | I would have spent the money and upgraded that card. 560s are weaker than the rest of the specs you chose, and you could have up'd the performance and still be under 1000 |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | My plan:
Asus monitor
Asus AMD motherboard
AMD chip at like 3.6ghz stock
8gb ram (2x4)
I don't think I picked a graphics card yet since I want be gaming
500gb internal HDD, cheap and I don't need much space
Yea somethin like that so far lol |
KILL
06.23.12 | sweet rig, mine ruled back in like 08 but now its pretty meh |
SiliconFields
06.23.12 | ChuckTheMan knows what's up |
KILL
06.23.12 | and i am waitin for the next gen consoles to come out and i'll upgrade then, jsut to make sure i can play all the multiplats perfectly and i am poor now so fuck it |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | Yah kill that's the bad thing about computers, they get dated so so fast.
And thanks Silicon lol m/ |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | Wow KILL, I thought you were strictly pc.
Whenever it is I have 1000$ laying around, I'm building a pc. Probably my summer vacation before my first year of uni |
theacademy
06.23.12 | bet the last of us is gonna look sweet on that rig
oh wait
pwnd |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | Yeah Zibel I'm saving up to do this as well. Will be sweet. As a musician and music fanatic my system will not go without a nice set of studio monitors haha |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | hahahahaha
I want that game soooo baaaaaad |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | What do you play, Chuck? |
theacademy
06.23.12 | yea sony really went hard at e3 this year... that, gow ascension, the smash brothers ripoff, and of course BEYOND - TWO SOULS (!)
also stoked: to play THPS HD on a dual shock 3, the way it was meant to be played |
ChuckyTruant
06.23.12 | Guitar |
omnipanzer
06.23.12 | Nice setup, bigger monitor is all I would want. What case do you get for yourself? |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | That smash bros ripoff actually looks sweet. good thing too because there hasn't been a new one from nintendo since brawl.
If microsoft tried that, they'd have the Master Chief and Marcus Fenix. Sounds like a really shitty game. THPS HD does indeed look awesome. |
KILL
06.23.12 | think you misunderstood my post, i am waiting for new consoles to come out to upgrade as right now obviously i can play multiplats as current gen consoles hold games back atm |
ZilbelPing
06.23.12 | oh I see what you mean. sweet plan, man |
ThunderNeutral21
06.23.12 | yeah apparently the 560 itself is only considered decent now....but it has the gtx ti so its the absolute top 560 and i havent had any problems yet....i can run skyrim, saints row 3 and crysis 2 all on max ultra settings best resolution and @omni idr the name of the case its a mid tower zalman thats all i know |
Acanthus
06.23.12 | Nice rig, sometime I'll get around to buying/building my own. |
DurzoBlint
06.23.12 | Pretty good rig :) I do like the 560's. |

06.24.12 | nvidia is the way to go with graphics cards totally |
ReturnOfTheDnor
06.24.12 | Oh, and my peripherals are
Mouse - Logitech MX518 (Old but Classic gaming mouse)
Keyboard - Razer Lycosa
Headset - Turtle Beach x12s
Monitor - SAMSUNG B550 Series 27" 2ms GTG HDMI Widescreen LED |
Winrar
06.24.12 | @Return- your peripherals are pretty lame. Razer and turtle beaches are horrible brands. But your rig is pretty fuckin sweet. wish i could afford a 680 ha. |
jdennis31
06.24.12 | i don't have my specs on me right now, but i built a pc in 2009 and got a fairly average graphics card, yet I am still able to play current games with little to no lag. often I am able to set the graphics to the max and still play lag free. it's actually really confusing. i just assume the graphics engines are making much more efficient usage of memory or games are auto adjusting to computer settings for better gameplay. anyone know if either of those are accurate? |
ReturnOfTheDnor
06.24.12 | no way, my lycosa is amazing. I love it. And my Turtle Beaches is actually for the in-depth bass/treble switchs, and integrated voice/game volume knobs. I mean, I used to have sennheiser hd555s but they broke when my ex-gf sat on them. (seriously...) |
ChuckyTruant
06.24.12 | Ouch. I recently had my Sennheiser HD480's short out |
DotEight
06.24.12 | Why would you get a 560 TI, for that price you could have just gotten a 570 HD. And if it's not eVGA and you bought nVidia I'm going to lol. And why would you overclock an i5 to 4.2 GHz? You don't need that much processing power if it's quad-core. |
DayMan
06.24.12 | what do you play? |
Winrar
06.24.12 | @DotEight cinebench scores mate. |
ThunderNeutral21
06.24.12 | @dot 570 hd would have probably caused me to get a bigger power supply, this one was half off. also, the 560 ti is almost as powerful as the 570, but the 570 uses a larger amount of power which would have caused me to pay even more to support it. also, im pretty fine with the computer, every game i play can be played on max settings, ive had no lag or problems, and everything runs perfectly. thanks though dude northlane for life!!!!!!!! |
ThunderNeutral21
06.24.12 | and @Dot the eVGA hd 570 is like 300 dollars....my card was under 2 hundred |
Winrar
06.24.12 | Just run 560TI SLI, that's better than a 580. |
