If you guys are into PC gaming like this maybe we should consider putting an team together on something. Cats are getting paid for this stuff these days. Im getting more and more fed up with current gen consoles. Less freedom, creativity and individuality i imagined would be available nowadays. So while i will still game on that front, PC gaming is my future, and what i will invest more of my time/money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less freedom, creativity and individuality i imagined would be available nowadays. The vast amount of mods/trainers/etc. on PC along with the graphics (if one is a graphic whore) really make PC gaming better than on consoles, specifically for those solo/single player games. And now days, you can use controllers and map the keys so it's like playing on a console. I'll still always get a console because of certain games I like to play online (Madden, NBA 2K, FPS, etc.). But I have to admit, I miss gaming on my PC. I just keep telling my wife every week or so that I'm planning on building a new rig this year and explaining that mine is basically becoming obsolete and on the low end side. She listens......she knows it's inevitable...........time is on my side though since it's been 6 years going on 7 since I got my current PC.

PokerPacker Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 6 hours ago, Dont Taze Me Bro said: Thats a boss build. Any chance you can toss one together on there for me, budget of $1500? It would need to include the optical drive and OS (OD should be cheap, Windows 10 64 bit home edition I guess). I've been researching builds, but I've been out of the PC game for 4-5 years, so I don't know all the best parts anymore, or the ones that are just as good as the best but cheaper in price. Also, would going 32GB of RAM be an overkill at this point? I know the motherboard in that build can go up to 64GB, so it can always be added later, but was just curious. 32 GB RAM... yeah, it's overkill for most applications. But I made a point of putting in two 8-GB sticks of RAM for the 16 GB which leaves two slots open for further expansion down the line without waste. My current PC has two 4-GB sticks and two 2-GB sticks, and it annoys me that if I buy another 8 GBs of RAM, I'll see half that much as I'll be removing 4 GB worth of RAM to make room for the new stuff. For your build (which I'll try to get around to tonight after I take a nap), what are you looking for in optical drive? DVD burner? Blu Ray?

PokerPacker Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Okay, @Dont Taze Me Bro, here's an attempt to stay under $1500 with a blu ray drive and Windows 10. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cRJGCy Still got you with a Ryzen 7 1700 with a beast of a cooler. Saved a couple hundred on the GPU going with the GTX 1080 instead of the 1080 TI. Still a heck of a card. @Mr. Sinister, I made a slight modification to yours. Seems there's a different version of the cooler that's better suited for the socket. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KZfCYr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing around and was going to go with a 1080 instead too, it's not the TI but second best imo. Definitely is leaps and bounds ahead of my current set-up.

It was either the GTX 1080 or the Vega 64, but seems the coin miners already drove up the price of the Vega from it's MSRP $500 to $700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everything. 4.5x as powerful as the OG Xbox One. 40% more powerful than the PS4 Pro. Should be capable of native 4k gaming on some titles, and 4k upscaled (still fantastic for visuals) on others. This will allow for higher framerates than are what's possible on the regular XBO as well, if developers decide to go that route. It's much more future proofed. If you have a 4k TV, and want to make the best of it, it's a very good purchase. Even if you just have a 1080p set, supersampling will make current games still look noticeably better on it. I don't know if MS will try to go the VR route with it, but it's a nice piece of tech if you want to take advantage of the extra power and increased visual fidelity. That being said, the X will play the same games as the regular xbox, so you won't be missing out on games. They'll just look better on the new console. 39 minutes ago, S.T.real,lights,out said: So who pre-ordered the Xbox One X. I pre-ordered through best buy last night. Nov 7th cant come soon enough.

With summer coming to an end I kinda want another game to dive into. I didn't play the first Destiny too much as it was too grind-y for my tastes. I have preordered it, and will play through the story but probably do little else. I did not enjoy the PvP in the beta, and if little has changed the game releases I will skip it. 1 hour ago, S.T.real,lights,out said: So who pre-ordered the Xbox One X.

I plan on trading in my current Xbox one, and without knowing if the current trade in values will change or not, I'd rather not do a preorder I may need to cancel.

JSSkinz Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Intel just announced the new cpu's, from what I'm reading there will be a significant performance increase from the 6th and 7th gen to the new 8th gen series, if your looking to buy you may want to wait until they release in October, supposedly they are pricing them around $350 to keep it relative to AMD's new version of the Ryzen cpu. https://www.pcgamesn.com/intel/intel-14nm-coffee-lake-release-date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xameil Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 If you still go the PC VR route, remember Fallout 4 will not be coming out for the Rift for the foreseeable future. Also, I have heard Doom VR is a teleport to monsters type of game. I don't know how true that is tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Taze Me Bro Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Question about VR via PC. Our boy @PokerPacker hooked me up with a nice PC build that will handle VR and 4K gaming, but how does the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive hook up to the PC? I was looking at the Rift and it said that you needed 1 HDMI output , 3 USB 3.0 ports and 1 USB 2.0 ports. Does the headset itself have that many required connections at one time?

Mr. Sinister Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 @Xameil PsVR for me. I still have not played Fallout 4 or DOOM ( though i actually have it, just have yet to play it). Im just gonna trade it in. Haven't played Skyrim in awhile, and wanted two more runs as a battlemage/Daedric cultist in Winterhold, and an Imperial that runs with the Companions and the Dark Brotherhood.

I couldn't justify buying a new PS4 and dropping $400 on VR too if the new PS was required. Would have had to decide between the new PC gaming rig or that. At least now I can wait until after Christmas and look at getting the PSVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
