Fox, use your army of loyal furries to dominate the twitch viewer count. Do it for the good of the community.

Why not keep it that way? Your enemies won't be able to see you behind that tall grass! You'll be like a pokemon.

My entire post is a joke wrapped around a sarcastic pair of quotations. Take it easy, you don't have to be the forum's white knight here by confronting harmless banter every chance you get.

"We don't wanna be an RPG shooter, so we're gonna give you a stale melee game with skill trees from RPGs. Oh, and you're going to be able to buy your progression. We hope this is going to make us billions like TF2. Why do we think that? Because we've learned that yanking the fun out of a game and overloading it with elements nobody wants to deal with typically yields dumptrucks of money. Really, we just hope this is going to suffice for our terrible choice to publish Brink. For that we're sorry, and we've clearly not been going in the wrong direction; Here's to winging it!"

D:

not enough rubbing

never played it, will somebody teach me how to win in this game?

he's shit don't pick him up
i want him, nobody else can have him

no airshots, dumb

As if minusfrags mean anything?

I recommended an APU, and the consensus in the thread is that he should check out an APU. Go look at the list for yourself. I believe my suggestions for parts will satisfy his desire to get some good frames for TF2. So I went out of my way to give him a researched list so he can start trying to build his own rig if he has the money to pay for something more expensive. The only helpful post after it's clear he should get a new computer is -fragged. Huh.

sky, mostly everything about your post is wrong.

Firstly, If you actually clicked on the hyperlinks and explored the parts, you'd find that the motherboard and CPU is capable of using those speeds. And APUs (Which is what the processor is) greatly benefit from higher memory bandwith. See what I'm trying to do? Yeah, he won't be able to use it until he goes into BIOS and unlocks the RAM from 1333 to 2133mhz, instantly making his experience better. It takes 30 seconds to do, and he gets his money worth. Out of the two sicks for DUAL channel. EDIT: Since the information across all review sites are unanimous, here's the shortest one for you to read. CLICK MOTHERFUCKER CLICK

Secondly, that processor is AMD. Not Ivybridge. That processor is fine, the difference between 'native' and 'overclocked' speeds on RAM that is factory made to perform at anything >1333mhz is done by literally turning it on in the BIOS. Every motherboard operates this way.

Nvm, which some research, I've concluded everything is wrong about your post.

Start with this. The CPU will handle your TF2, the processor alone will be able to handle a surprising amount of HD games @ 30fps (As long as you keep that 1866mhz RAM. Faster RAM = More frames with an APU) The GT 640 will suffice for anything else on a budget computer. That's as cheap as it gets really, I assume you've got a case, 99%(bs) of cases are ATX case, which can support micro-ATX. If not, grab one from school. That's the bare minimum and you'll get what you want out of it, probably more. Feel free to push the price a bit further on the video card, or if another motherboard catches your eye.

Potential revision option: Swap the 1866mhz RAM for a 2133 MHz RAM solution. You'll get even more frames out of that APU, it might even just triumph the use of the 640 GT. But, it's dependent on your resolution. Higher resolution = more calculations to do, more power to consume, less overall frames.

This list assumes you have:
A HDD, OS, Power Supply (Your phone can probably power this rig), Peripherals.

Hope this helps, as you have two options: Deal with it, or upgrade.

You may be using the right cable, but I think the ports are made to accept either. Check the ports and specs online to verify this absurd, illogical suggestion. The card might only be able to use a specific DVI cable model. It's been awhile, I could be totally off base here.

I'm liking the variety of different breeds of dueling characters you can play. Makes things interesting, will take a lot of playing with all characters to know the most optimal decision given the situations at hand. More playing, more things discovered, higher the skill ceiling grows; overall good for an eSport. It's clearly got the competitive gamer in mind, and I trust 2gd to do it well. But will it have enough features to keep it newbie friendly, and give us the resources to improve? PUG system (I heard him say matchmaking, so I guess it's so), demos, scrim-finder for team games? Not every quake player is still interested in quake, and the population for arena shooters is pretty much at an all time low. I wonder how he'll handle the first wave of players upon public release? I can guarantee that there will be a significant portion of players who haven't even touched an fps that will come in, get stomped by the experienced FPS players, then denounce the game for being imbalanced.
It's early to tell, but another issue that arises is performance. Did he honestly admit the game runs on par with CS:GO? Boy, that's as ass-backwards as you can get if he were trying to sell the game. Hopefully that gets sorted out along the way.
