Good anon!! congrats!! :)

Download Utorrent, get to the menus disable automatic updates, and all the awefull advertise, go to piratbay.com or kat.com and download anything you want, i would start with something you can play tonight, like lets see.....

Search for Fallout 4 !!!, and then also download this:

www.cncnet.org

these are my sugestions

Try this before downloading any games.

Also, I recommend at least an R9 270, which is what I have (I'm biased, lol). If your are budget conscious, just check GPU benchmark on Google, and you'll get a good idea of what you should buy.

Even if he is 14, I have to back him up. Custom builts are better because there's no bloatware and you learn how to build the fucking PC. If something goes wrong in a custom PC which was built by the user, they will know how to fucking fix it.

Nice, but GPU bottleneck. You can't run 4k. Still very good.

Very similar to mine, except my GPU is R9 270. Good shit.

meh I only need 1080p. I have a 144hz monitor though.

It's good shit but the motherboard is completely awful. Dead ram slot and PCI Express 2.0 instead of the 3.0 that the GPU prefers. You can see the performance loss.

Got this as I am backpacking, bought for a measly 400 dollars brand new (ripped a store off by being a real kike master)- alienware alpha i5(small and easy to travel with).

Games I am really into League of legends, Pixel Piracy, Mount and blade, secrets of grindea (dunno why but its great stoned) and CS:GO.Not going to lie have thought about going back to wow.

next planned upgrade, i only bought the titans because i got them quite cheap and they included the water blocks, other wise i would have bought 980Ti's

really thought you don't get much gaming performance out of upgrading your CPU, its why it normally works out better to just buy a cheaper one and over clock it

It's actually a good game now, and the mods (as with all previous x titles) make it even better.

I mean shit, this game runs on my computer.

Average 20-25 fps, with a intel duo core 3.0, 4 gigs of ddr2, and a shitty 8400gs overclocked.

Pretty good performance now.

Framerate. Some games only run around 60 at 1440p with this set up. Like Fallout 4.

Demanding titles never run above 100 at 1440p on my PC. Newer games will though, BO3 for example. But I never play it because it's shit.

Way to go OP, you got a stock PC those really aren't ever all that great for gaming. To have a truly good gaming PC you either need to be a brand faggot & got for alienware or another gaming brand, or build your own machine; which is a whole lot less then being a bran faggot.

21 and I'm talking about wasting money. You aren't buying an HDD for speed to begin with. You're buying it for capacity. Why the hell would you spend more for speed on something that is intended for the opposite.

my 4:3 CRT looked just as good as ANY native 16:9 trinitron because of the nature of a CRT itself. they are not really held back by aspect ratios like an LCD display

If they use fans a lot or have a ventilation system in their home moving air generates negative ions which causes dust to stick to positive surfaces (basically everything)
In air purifiers with a negative ion generator needle point this is called the black wall effect where your filter fails to remove negative ions from the air and they instead stick to other surfaces.

If you've ever lived in an apartment or older house with a smoker it's the same deal. The smoke electrically charges dust particles as well as weighs them down and then you get a weird gross sticky dust stuck to everything.

>>
>>676860156
So much alone time
>>
>>676869062
That's actually kind of neat. I like the design of that mobo, it's basically perfect for watercooling since it's perfectly symmetrical
>>
>>676868671
alright then 7/10
>>
>>676869062
no water return line/10

Guess I'll post mine. Dumped soda all over her recently, and I had to scramble to clean it all off to try and save her. Luckily no damage
>>
>>676870597
lol ive had that for 10 years
F50 is still a fav of mine
>>
>>676870765
any reason why you are not watercooling your gpu?
>>
>>676870765
ew closed loop coolers
>>
>>676870960
its expensive... $120 minimum
>>
>>676870960
Don't feel the need. I have a monster overclock on it and it rarely cracks 70C

My processor runs hot though, so liquid helps
>>
>>676870983
>>676870432
lol i got 3 in my rig.

They are loud as shit.. i want to do custom but its 3x the price
>>
>>676871195
You can just chop the tubes and keep the radiator itself if you really wanted.
The radiator is basically 90% of the price anyway. You can buy acquarium pumps for like $30 and the tubing/fittings from home depot are cheap as fuck. I did that with the zalman dual reserator cause I wanted that specific radiator but wanted to chuck the rest of the setup
>>
>>676871195
Are you using the stock fans? They're usually pretty loud. Getting better ones can take the noise down considerably
>>
>>676867135
Got both, but only realizing recently that there is no point due to Windoz and Linooox are coming together soon (maybe a myth).
>>
>>676871533
all fans are aftermarket.
EVGA stock fans were loud or DOA lol they are garbage.

Noctuas on the CPU and corsair sp120 on the gpus
>>
>>676871533
its the pumps and the sheer amount of fans. the noctuas are quiet until you have 4 of them on top of eachother.
>>
>>676861005
Looks awesome as fuck, looks like a place a bunch of buddies would hang out in drinking some beers listening to some good music. Fucking carpet, paint the walls. I mean do that shit if you want, but it doesn't need it at all.

Why not simply construct the entire case out of fans?
>>
>>676872263
>turn on computer
>flies away
>>
>>676872263
best part about this is that they are server fans. turning this on would be intense. it would sound like a jet taking off. 100db easy
