#2418 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Micro ATX it is then.
Not looking up Danish prices because I'm lazy. It's roughtly 50$ for 1TB, 65$ for 2TB, 80$ for 3TB and 110$ for 4TB. Lowest $/GB is still 3TB.
What about the SSD? If it's just for the OS (you really should get one at least for that) you don't need much, if you want all programs/games on it you need more and if you want to render onto it then I'd get two or a large one.

I'll probably start with the list tonight.

Faster CPU, cheaper RAM. If you're spending more on RAM than on the CPU you're doing something wrong.
Faster SSD.
Faster HDD.
Much faster GPU.
More reasonable PSU. A 550W PSU that costs more than the GPU for a 250W build doesn't make sense.

Could get a cheaper GPU and/or better monitor/headset (or even better seperate headphones + microphone).

Yes, now the question is do you want a full ATX case or smaller/larger?
For the SSD and HDD size as in capacity.

Ok, now I've got something to work with for games, "the faster the better" always applies to rendering so I'm not quite sure about the balance between more expensive and faster yet.

I guess Denmark then. 12k-17k DKK?
Now for some more details.
Standard mATX, smaller/larger?
SSD and HDD should be a given, size for each?
Rough guideline for the performance in games and for rendering? You can get 10 cores (16 if you're willing to wait until August) or a 1080 Ti, but not both at the same time and you probably wouldn't complain if a pc for less than 1500 GBP gets you the performance you want.

#2414

Gir_affeguyMY QUESTION IS: How many frames should I look to be getting when running at 144HzSetsulWell you need at least 144 fps for it to be actually useful, anything beyond that is a bonus.

Everything after that is because 200 fps without a cap on a 144 Hz monitor does not look good. So it's either 144 or 288. Any upgrade between that only gets you stability. He'll have to decide himself if that's worth it. That's why I told him the baseline price of any upgrade.

Does that mean you're going to buy it in Denmark or in the UK? I mean you're living in Denmark but I don't think they accept GBP.

SetsulWell you need at least 144 fps for it to be actually useful, anything beyond that is a bonus. You'll have to cap it anyway to not get screen tearing, so until you can get 288 fps all it would get you is more stable fps and/or fewer drops.

Upgrades he can afford would nothing, upgrades that would actually be a significant improvement he can't afford.
Yes, no reason to upgrade.

#2409
Size?
Resolution?
IPS yes/no?
Lightboost/ULMB yes/no?
G-Sync/FreeSync yes/no?

#2405 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Well I've got nothing to work with here.
Just the monitor will be 200£ or more.
The smallest upgrade would be an i5-4570 and that'd be >200£ for 5% more performance.
The most expensive upgrade that still makes sense would be an i7-7700K overclocked to 5.0 GHz (~60% faster). You'll need a mobo and a cooler as well so that'd cost slightly less than 500£ + monitor.

By the end of the year new CPUs will be released, but it's kind of difficult to recommend them yet since neither the performance nor the names are known yet.
So I really don't know what you should be looking at buying.

Are those 500£ including the monitor?

#13 hey how about that net neutrality business in Off Topic
phobiathis protest shit blocked half of the websites i went to it was annoying as fuck

Now imagine if you couldn't just ignore that, bypass it, skip it, or wait until it's over. Instead your only option is to pay another 50$ per month (or even more) or not use that website anymore. Would that too qualify as annoying as fuck? Maybe someone should do something to prevent that from happening...
OH WAIT

#14 Mobile hotspot question in Off Topic

windows key + R
type in "cmd" (no "")
enter
type in "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=[network name] key=[password]"
enter
Done.

You obviously still have to connect all other pcs to it and iirc manually set the IP adress on each pc.

#5 I have really good DM, but shit in games in TF2 General Discussion

Are we talking about MGE with stickies? I'd be surprised if anyone lost that at silver dm levels.
MGE is for practicing 1v1. If you're in a 1v1 as a demo you are so far out of position that even winning the 1v1 won't matter.
If your dm is good why do you keep playing MGE?
Play lobbies/pugs, that's what you're bad at.

Also use your brain while playing. Don't blindly w+m1 "I see enemy, I must kill enemy!".

#11 Mobile hotspot question in Off Topic

Hotspots are meant for pc -> hotspot hosting device -> internet, not pc -> host -> pc.
Set up a simple wireless network on any of the computers. Forget about the phone.

#8 Mobile hotspot question in Off Topic

I wouldn't assume anything. Bad things happen if you assume anything.
Like fixing the actual issue within 5 minutes and then trying to figure out why the pc still won't turn on for 6 hours because he took of the front panel and has been pressing the power button on the obviously disconnected front panel.
Brain farts happen.

#6 Mobile hotspot question in Off Topic

1. Why not use ethernet?
2. Why would you need a phone? You can set up a wireless network from any pc with wifi.

It doesn't matter if it's a big deal or not.
Are you going to overclock, yes or no?
It costs extra, so if you're not going to then it'd be a waste of money.
