Your previous nonexistent team already broke up?

These guys are cool. Fuzion is a bosschamp

Magnum PI

I was going to say, Kepler has a pretty nice triggerbot

1. get in a habit of having your teammates do what you say NO MATTER WHAT
2. eventually it will make sense to you why certain calls are good an others are bad

Get one with a dinosaur on it

If you think you will overclock then yes, definitely get a cooling solution on that badboy. Asus makes pretty solid motherboards; that's what I use. Gigabyte is also another decent option.

"All the i7s should be better than the i5s" is an inaccurate statement at best. Especially when it comes to applications that don't really benefit from multicore processors, some of the higher-end i5s get MILES better performance (and benchmark results) then relatively low i7s. I have an i5 655k, and it overclocks like a fiend. Love it. That being said, if I was doing a build right now I'd probably go with a 2600k.

Cases are pretty cheap, make sure to something big enough + with good airflow. Coolermasters and Antecs are nice for the price.

Corsair is the best for RAM.

600W should be plenty.

If you have any questions about other things feel free to bug me on steam, I have a bit of experience with home builds

You're gonna have to be more specific than "i5 and i7," there are a lot of different processors there

To be fair, it would work marginally better than Floppy trying to play scout

A FAN can put out 4 shots faster than a scattergun can, at essentially more damage per shot, and that's not even taking into account the scatter's slow reload speed. If you are landing hits as consistently with each weapon, it's silly to say you do "much less damage" with a FAN. Not to mention the slightly longer effective range.

As a member of a team that lost to Scum near the beginning of the UGC season (4-3 on viaduct), I'd also add that basically the only reason they beat us is that Stochastic - who was running stock scout - shit all over most of our players the entire game. Thief's point denial was somewhat effective, but he did way less damage and got far fewer frags than our demo. But I like THIEF, I used to play Pirates Vikings and Knights II with him, and I hope this new team will work better for him than his current one, which he obviously isn't entirely content with, does.

Just overclock it

Other than water? Coffee this morning, black.
