Yo, I'm looking to build a new PC around a 3700x in the near future and am looking for advice on a build, I've not really been keeping up to date with most tech stuff.

The build will be mostly for games, mainly TF2, Dota, CS:GO and souls games, probably some Destiny 2 which literally maxes my current cpu out lol. I'll maybe play Elden Ring/Cyberpunk too when they're out, but no idea of how demanding they'll be. Aiming to get at least 200+fps in TF2 and at least 150 in Destiny 2, the graphics don't need to be maxed for Destiny though.

I'll also want to stream all these games at some point, which is why I felt a higher core count could be beneficial. It might be a bit overkill, but if the PC is gonna last as long as my current one has done, I may as well go overkill now and maybe get a bit more longevity.

I'll be doing some video stuff as well and will want to render at 1440p60 hence going for the 3700x instead of 3600x just for some more cores to use while rendering. Unless I'm mistaken in how many cores can be used to render videos.

I already have storage (850 EVO) and GPU (RX 480) sorted as they'll be reused from what I have now, will be looking for everything else, including a new case and PSU.

Budget is ~£700

My boy gink does it already for Faint.

Early morning necro.

I'm not playing ETF2L this season and fancy streaming something while I'm not playing.

Still only really want combat classes in actual scrims/officials.

A mobo having dvi-d means nothing when you're gonna be plugging into your GPU lol.

Also a bunch of cheaper motherboards will probably be released soon when the new Ryzen CPUs have been out for a while.

Is the .wav file in mono? If not then it should be.

You could also launch the game with -autoconfig as the only launch option.

Good thread!

Who unbanned sheepy

New Ryzen CPUs are out next month and could be a good shout, they haven't been independently benchmarked yet though. I'd say it might be good to wait at least a few weeks until they're out before commiting to anything.

Have you tried only using one stick of RAM? Swap sticks if the problem persists and see if any stick of RAM works individually. Probably won't work, but worth a try.

You can probably do "incrementvar tf_viewmodels_offset_override x 0 150 10"

Which will increase tf_viewmodels_offset_override x by ten to a maximum of 150, at which point it will go back to 0.

Honestly the game looks like it could be good but I can't help but feel like it's gonna be a disappointment. I didn't even end up getting sun/moon because friends that got it on launch were not into the game at all.

Also literally forcing people to have other people to play with, or paying to play online, just to get a complete dex is a really fucking bad move imo. Even version exclusives back in the day were annoying, but now (if you don't have friends with the game or the will/means to pay for online access) you need two switches and two copies of the games so that you can trade and get one complete dex.

Sif made it into pokemon though which is neat.

Ah that's fair enough, there was just a really stupid moment that I wanted to see from the STV but it's all good.

Just had a server that shut down the instant a map ended, logs or stv aren't available, and the server doesn't show up as a reservation I've played in. Is there a way either of them will be available at all?
