? can I get by with a $500 budget? If I have to i'll bump it up to $600 I just want something thats gonna be able to play the good ? & by good ? I mean games like GTA V, DayZ, etc.. etc. The PC i got now will play DayZ but I always have to lower ? like textures and other stuff just so I can play. Im tired of doing that ? -
either one of those builds i posted earlier will play games at 1080p. If you wanna add a little more towards the gpu, then we can remove the disc drive it you strictly gone buy games digitally.

Oh hell yea, bruh i cant remember the last time i bought the physical copy of a game Steam and torrents done spoiled my ass. I try not to torrent so much and when I dont I buy my ? directly from steam so i'll definitely be doing away with the disc drive -

i havent torrented on single game...the prices be too perfect for me. Plus, i started reading reviews and going to youtube to see gameplays before I buy, PLUS, steam got a fire return policy. You can return a game for any reason as long as you havent played it for more than 2 hrs.
I bought Dead Rising 3 during the summer steam sale and it kept having issues. Come to find out, it was a ? port. I had only clocked 30 min on it, requested my money back, and it took less than a day for the refund. -
dope ? ...how much it hit you for?

Are any of you guys who have a gaming PC overclocking your CPUs and using RAID
-
examples of a mid. I actually own a Mid sized case. its not too big at all imo
This is mine for comparison. This is next to a 42 inch TV
You play on a 42 inch TV? Have you noticed any latency? I'm of the understanding that you don't want to go bigger than a 32 inch. -
no problems after activated the game mode + turn on vsync

@AP21 I'm thinking of moving this to Ill Tek. I got a good custom one but the only problem it has an intergeated graphics card instead of a dedicated one due to it being a mini dual pc. 2tb pc and a 2tb mac. 2.7 ghz but can superclock up to 3.1ghz. Due to the size i would have to upgrade to a much bigger case abd a power supply of at least 500 watts. Thinking bout the geoforce 2tb 770 also.
But a cool master elite 130 or 120 i forgot but I dunno if i should go ahead and but the graphics card and piwer supply. -
I wouldn't cuz eventually u are going to have to switch out ur graphics card to be able to run ultra res games
-
@AP21 have u run into any problems of running outta of virtual memory on any of ur rigs?
I was playin roller-coaster tycoon the other day & my pc kept crashing & saying I'm running outta virtual memory while playing this game. I took that game out & started playing skyrim, & dayz i didn't have any problems? -
@kingofkingz it sounds like you're low on ram. My comp has 16gb of ram right now

Yes.. it'll eventually slow down ur pc & the machines performance
But if ur okay with not having to keep up the industry demands for higher res games especially on PC then u should get the rig u been looking at -
@ikingofgivbiz, aye fam, if you need to move it, then its cool. My vision was to keep it here since building a pc was related to gaming on it vs buying a console.
@kingofkingz, i've never had any issues with virtual memory. My rig is primarily for gaming but i do use it to stream movies via Plex, so basicallly i have nothing else other than Steam, Origin, etc... plus a couple of other programs that arent real resource heavy.
I have an office pc that i do most of the heavy lifting with -
@ap21 any good gaming computer out the box i can find at best buy
