^^^^^ Dude have you seen the NBA 2K14 review on IGN? It sold me on the game. Fart Sandwiches posted:Thanks for yelling at me and helping pick a non-overpriced pc. Did you pick up thermal compound for mounting the CPU onto the motherboard?

If he were trying to decide between the two, I'd agree to get an SSD first. But I have an SSD (and BF4 is installed to it), and 12 GB of RAM sucks. Edit: V drat YOU

holocaust bloopers posted:^^^^^ NBA2k has been fuckin killin it since they got Jordan in the game. Seriously, I played so many fuckin matches of classic Magic Johnson Lakers vs Pedostache Larry Bird in NBA2k12. It's seriously the best sports game I've played since NFL2k5. They just nailed the fun of the game and making the stadiums/players look good as hell. The cloth physics in the trailer look insane though. Blew me away like seeing NFK2k on Dreamcast for the first time. edit: posting this because 2k12 was so fuckin good and man I wish they'd put the 1992 dream team into a game. Or, hell, make Summer Olympics 1992 Basketball: The Game, and have Charles Barkley elbowing the gently caress outta some Angolan dudes and calling him a skinny motherfucker to his face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHnCZsD9txU Nostalgia4Butts fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Nov 13, 2013 |

PLANES CURE TOWERS posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eybnjY7EdsA That's what sold me hard on the game. It just looks fun as poo poo. friend of the family DEATH TURBO posted:i'm running 8GB ram with an ssd and i seem to be one of the first to load in every map always can grab whatever chopper i want right away Same. That's why I'm very dubious about adding RAM to help with loading times. I beat almost everyone into maps with just 8 gb and an ssd. Even if it did matter, a few seconds of waiting is not worth 50 bucks or whatever to me.

gleep gloop posted:Do you plan to overclock your CPU? Fart Sandwiches posted:Not at all. Out of abject curiosity, why not? A standard 5-10% OC is super easy, and 5-10% is so common that nearly every CPU/MOBO combo will have an "optimal settings" posted. Such a low OC is unlikely to break your rig or require a special sink, and totally worth the 1-2 hours spent doing the research. Just curious. E; Should be possible with your chosen MOBO now too Sacrilage fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Nov 13, 2013 |

I just want Doom 4 to finally be made. I know I'm part of a very slim majority that really liked Rage, but man Doom is just completely my poo poo. If they made new episodes for the Doom 2 engine I'd buy that poo poo day 1.

Everything that involved shooting in Rage was awesome. The combat mechanics and shoot-y bits were incredible. I still maintain that the Rage engine would be amazing for a Fallout game. The Skyrim engine still sucks. I just really dislike how all of those games feel. They're clunky as poo poo.

The gunplay in Rage is still the best I've ever played. The racing poo poo was stupid as hell, but holy poo poo the shooting was great. Doom 3 BFG was incredible too, just being able to play it in 1920x1080p without using a mod made by some insane german dude was completely worth the cost.

Alright here's my current build. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Asus B85-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($107.55 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Value 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($134.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($199.00 @ Newegg) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($340.91 @ Newegg) Power Supply: XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($106.98 @ Newegg) Total: $1089.42 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) (Generated by PCPartPicker 2013-11-13 06:57 EST-0500) I am sticking with the haswell because it's pretty cheap for the performance and I couldn't find any ivy-bridge ATX motherboards on newegg. I have to source everything on newegg if I'm to convince my wife. I decided to go with 16 gigs of ram, which coupled with the 4 in my current PC will give me 20 (assuming the 4 is 1600. If not no big deal). Everything else is pretty bog standard. I don't care about free games with video card or anything because my Steam backlog is so huge and I'm probably just going to play BF4 with pretty maximized anyway. I guess the only thing that is really changeable would be to drop ram to 8 gigs and get the overclockable i5-4670k. I think for wife-convincing purposes 1100 is my ceiling so now I need to look at moving things around. That said I'm pretty happy with this and I like you guys a lot better than the SH/SC people so yell at me about this build some more.

Well I ordered my parts and got next day shipping because I'm an impatient baby. The only thing now is I don't know where the gently caress my win 7 key is. It is not where I thought it would be so I might have to buy a new license and I'll spring for win8 if that's the case. gently caress. Edit: I'm retarded. right-click -> properties on my computer and there it is. Fart Sandwiches fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Nov 13, 2013 |

It has china rising or whatever and is an extra It's $50 but if you think you're going to stick around and play BF4 for a while I'd recommend premium. You get priority in server lines, all the DLC, and actually save a little bit long term. Of course if you don't think you'll be around long enough it's a waste of money.

I'll get the regular game and see how I like it. I put around 400 hours into Bad Company 2 so I have the ability and I'll definitely want to find an excuse to use my expensive new parts.
