#2739 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Want to upgrade my pc.

Current specs:
- GeForce GTX 960
- i7-4790 @ 3.60GHz
- 2x4GB RAM

(Don't remember the other specs like motherboard sadly)

Goal:
A) To be able to run tf2 well while streaming. (When streaming it often feels like I have 80fps even though the game might say I have 180. Fps also drops significantly if I stream 60fps or 1080p (god forbid both).
B) Running tf2 (in 1080p) with fps that never goes below 144 fps on mids (I have mastercoms cfg, dx8, no-hats mod 1080)
C) Run more modern games at a more acceptable frame rate:
PUBG - In 1600x900 with fps config and all settings to lowest, fps is around 60-100. I know the game is poorly optimized but I still would like some more fps than this, preferrably 144fps at 900p.
Witcher 3 - I have to play on second lowest to get 60fps stable, second lowest for 144fps stable. [1080p]
Borderlands 2/TPS - I have everything on lowest 1080p, still goes below 144fps a lot

The changes I think will help me reach my goal:
- GeForce GTX 1060
- i7-8700K @ 3.70GHz
- Some form of 16GB RAM
- Better cooling system, I think the fans I have are not very effective.

I don't know if all of these things are entirely necessary for my goals to be reached and also don't know which variations of RAM, GTX1060, cooling system is best. Maybe there is something else I should do as well or a part that is not entirely necessary from my list.

Budget:
Less than 10.000 SEK (1016.27 EUROS)

Any exchanged parts I would also like some assistance on what price range is reasonable for re-selling them. Bought this pc pre-built (hopefully not gonna do that anymore) in april of 2015.

I could really use some assistance. Big thanks to anyone willing to help out.

#154 December Global Whitelist Changes in TF2 General Discussion
Sergeant_BrownMuch like many others here, I could make paragraphs worth of theorycrafting about the DF and how it together with the Thruster and the Powerjack could make the Pyro almost exactly as good of a Roamer as a Soldier[...]

I would argue that the thruster is nearly completely useless as long as the powerjack is allowed. You switch weapon faster with the powerjack, you can always use it, you can use it both for long and short distances. The only thing it doesn't really do is give pyro more vertical mobility, which can probably be adequately substituted with the detonator (jumping) [not to mention the other qualities of the detonator].

#1109 PugChamp in Projects
GrapeJuiceIIIplease make baiting pugs bannable, i know it's hard to monitor but if an admin catches a glimpse of who baited then they should be put in their place

I don't think it's an inconvenience large enough to warrant the hassle of banning pug baiters...

Powerjack ban when ?

EDIT: i'm serious, it gives pyro too much mobility imo

#25 Net Neutrality, and the future of competitive TF2 in Q/A Help
scrabTholeWe all know that the majority of people are going to switch to a social media + netflix and steam/xbox internet package in the next year or so, so outside resources like Mumble, Teamfortress.tv, and UGC/ESEA/ETF2L are going to cost extra
Was this really a thing in the US until net neutrality was introduced in 2015?

No, because there were still legal processes about wether or not it is justified (correct me if I'm wrong).

If you want to see an example of this look at portugal: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNGlrABUIAAr9RO.jpg

#216 cp_reckoner (5CP) in Map Discussion
TwiggyWhat bothers me a lot is the complete lack of vision you have when standing there :
https://i.imgur.com/czswApR.jpg
Imagine i'm scout or roamer and i want to gather some intel; i have to go down the stairs and peek, who knows whats besides the door? I could get buttfucked just for risking a glance. And without intel teams will never commit to pushes.

This kind of design is quite common simply because the sniper class exists. You don't want too many sightlines that are easy to peak without committing the life of your sniper. I wouldn't like my medic to get sniped outside cargo from a sniper casually strolling in the upper areas of sewer TOXIC, without giving the defenders of 2nd a proper shot at fending off the sniper with spam/rushing them etc. That's precisely what this limited sightline provides.

Was just trying to give you feedback but okay, cheers

Would you mind telling me which parts?

#168 cp_prolands in Map Discussion

I tried cp_prolands_b3b out in a scrim, and it felt a lot easier pushing last and top lobby, and it was very possible to push out of last when the enemy team wipes (or if you get some picks).

What are you guyses opinions on b3b ?

You should avoid this type of thing. For one it makes combat awkward, additionally it takes you longer to get all the health/ammo in order to re-enter the action.

Show Content

This holding position on second seems way too strong. If a team is up by a round with little time left on the clock, it would be a nobrainer to not go mid and just hold here, not to mention stalemates will become a problem. I would suggest either reworking the route(s) to mid & second in order to allow for things such as sacking, offclassing, UBER TRADES... etc

Show Content

This tiny doorway is super hard to push through for either team. One roamer can deny a whole team from pushing by standing on one of the fences and just spamming the box. If you look at another competitive map like gullywash, the bigdoor is still held by roamer but it is larger to ease pushing through it. Another map like process IT/PC can also be held by a roamer fairly effectively, but doing so kind of shuts him off from the rest of his team, but here he can easily get a quick rotation or heals to deny it.

Show Content

I don't really get the purpose of this health kit, since there's already a medium kit in the same room and medics & demomen can't access it (while it is indoors). There's already enough health in that room

Show Content

You clearly had the right idea to have a large entrance to mid but as I mentioned earlier, the other door is teenie tiny. A lot of the doors are really small actually. Take this:

Or this:

The shutters could also be larger I think, especially the ones on last.

Show Content

Due to all of the entrances to mid (except a drop-down) basically leads you to the same side every mid, with the highground there being way more accessible to either team, it feels like this mid will be kind of like a standoff between teams just standing on their own highground. Also, by making the fastest path to mid also be the one that gives you highground heavy to mid will be more viable than on a map like badlands. Sniper to mid will also be slightly more viable (than average) due to how open it is. The mid is actually really really big and it's practically impossible to prevent somebody from running behind your team or flanking. I would suggest further condense the mid area into a more conventional style. Also, the area behind the crates feel like huge trenches and are kind of awful to get caught in. I guess the area doesn't hold much of a significance but still.

Show Content

Make sure walls like these are always higher than another platform within the playing area, to completely ensure that players know they can't access it. This is important, especially for an alpha when people will first learn the layout.

Show Content

Consider adding some sort of ramp here... it will make the point a lot more accessible both from the shutter and the flank.

Show Content

Ammopacks should generally be in holding areas or in areas transitioning you from different areas, I would advice moving these away from combat. For instance, snakewater africa is a good example of a transitional ammo pack, and the ammo packs on mid bridge on badlands. Badlands also has them close to the point, but no team would ever consider holding on the lowground here.

Show Content

This is probably the fastest rollout route but the medium health kit is very easily denied by either demo. Due to this, I honestly think that demomen most of the time won't consider it as a health gain during their rollout and just go top, further incentivising the entire team to just stand on their own highground.

I get what it's going for, and I would like it if the production/mixing was better. Unlistenable imo

I still remember how much the MVM update fucked my framerate... it dropped by at least 33% and I had to scale down my game and install fps config to get 60 fps... good times

#62 OLGHA - GETTING BAN FOR BEING GOOD in Off Topic
SpaceCadetOlghaWe're talking about a competitive game, not minecraft bro
I know that's aid to play against, but it's working well and what matters to me is to win, not having fun

This is all you really need to read in this thread to understand his point of view. He wants to have fun, everyone else can fuck off.

Once dudes like this are tolerated in pugs by being allowed to run pyro to mid, other ppl will have every excuse to run heavy/sniper/engi. This just leads to every single pug being unpleasant. I am very glad this is only an EU problem at the moment. :)
OlghaI post it here if you want even tho it doesn't really concern americans players :

I would like to add that if you consider me as cancerous, you’re totally wrong :

First of all, you created a total fake team fortress 2, 6on6, by only considering a compo as 2 scouts, 2 soldiers 1 demo and 1 medic, and not even thinking about how you should you play these classes to make them strong (That’s why some players can’t be good at this game because they’re getting stuck to play 1 of these classes). we’ve been playing this league for a long time now, 10 years, 1 META, and you don’t even understand it. On top of that, people are mistaken on their way to improve : people now prefers to know how to airshots rather than understand why an airshot is important to hit at the right time and not all time, how to aim down 3 players while rushing, rather than playing around his mobility as scout ( #JustAboutDealing-3FromFarAwayWithYourScatterGun ), all those people thinks more about improve their personal performance and they learn in a bad way because it is supposed to be “how you play” (Fragmovie, interest for logs.tf…).
And what about winning games ? Stop shittalk your team and learn from your mistakes. But now what is most important is to go prem, for personal interest just to show that “you’re prem”, teams are dropping everywhere, they’re not getting better and that sucks. Now in grand finals (even in mid, big up to ringo squad) people are playing too safe, too dangerous to push and that shows how teamplay is not developed enough in 10 years of gaming. Why NA > EU, my answer : ETF2L’s mentality and spirit. People prefers to run conch’s and shit, counter-sack instead of winning the game, they’re just afraid to lose and that’s an idiot mentality.

Now back at pyro : The thing is that i made for you guys an alternative gameplay, that is not difficult to have, only by gamesens and positionning, doing well as a generalist. Valve gave us that because it can allow people who likes pyro to be good at 6’s but they can’t because of tiny nerds who just prefer to the game the way it is ( hello pugchamp admins). I will not remind you that a growing competitive game have to look from casual to pro the same way, Now Valve’s in, people’s out because of those people.

Why don’t we change those people then ? I tried, i failed, community tried, community fails.
because of 50iq nerds that try to be good somewhere in their life.

Hope that you find it interesting and you’ll tell me how wrong i am.

edit : Why would i talk on tftv, when i’m talking about europeans, tbh i don’t give a damn about americans, they have their own meta, and it's not related between them

#167 cp_prolands in Map Discussion
-Phantom-Edit: oh yeah sorry I totally misinterpreted what you were saying with that wall idea that's not a bunker at all my bad. But if you're going to just replace the beams with walls what reason were you trying to remove them for in the first place? That wouldn't make it easier to spam down sentries (which isn't a problem in the first place they're still possible to spam down)

It would be harder to do that yes, but the sentry wouldn't be nearly as effective due to the wall blocking it's line of sight on top right from spawn and partially down to main as well. (as well as blocking the defenders view from main)
Example of how it could look like:
