[Gravy Power]

Was into Xbox 360 and COD pretty hardcore. It got stale, so now I'm a PS4-Battlefield guy.

FNG for life!

Old G'r, We ruled Ghost Recon back in the day.

 

[NO ChoP!]

In the nineties I was huge in gaming. I had the NeoGeo, Turbographics, Saturn and Dreamcast, Atari Jaguar, N64 and SNES, 3DO, to name a few...

I could finish every Mario, start to finish on one life; as well as Sonic.

I was a huge advocate of Saturn over PS.

I also thought Dreamcast brought huge innovations to gaming; if it wasn't for the fact that you could get the entire game inventory ripped for the price of one game, it would have been a winner. Sega really did rule! Best sports titles, best fighting games, best racing games.

I love Sony for just about everything else, but screw PS!!!

 

[apathetic]

I had the NeoGeo,

Happy to see that name in this thread! Still have mine stored with the cartridges

Oh man...

I would love that beta key, been waiting for one with no luck.

Anyone remember the Jaguar? It was short lived but holy hell it was beyond its time.

I got one when they first came out, I remember mowing lawns for ever to buy that thing and only about 12 games were ever put out for it but man it was amazing for its time.

Can anyone recommend where I can learn about building a computer? I've been itching to get back into PC gaming and haven't built one in about 11 years so I am extremely rusty when it comes to the current components and their compatibility. I'm looking to build a really nice gaming computer for around $1300. Also, if anyone here would share what they would spent $1300 on when it comes to components that would work as well.

 

[Talim]

I built mine last year so all my components are pretty much obsolete. I usually just go to the forums, overclock.net, to look up the latest infos when building a new one.

 

[Notaskinnychef]

Blacklight retribution is a solid, ftp fast paced shooter, and borderlands 2 is always a good time. Both are steam games, which helps with community hackers and such (not that it matters for BL2 since its either co-op or solo, no deathmatch kind of stuff). Wanting to get in a to a good RPG again, been a while

Damn... Wish I could have spent that much haha.

I spent ~2k 2 years ago. I can still run pretty much any game on max with no issues.

 

[stereo.pete]

Yeah, I am definitely going to have to scale things down a bit if I want to buy one. I've got a drill press to pay for first.

Ya you don't need to spend more than 2k to future proof your computer for a few years.

 

[stereo.pete]

The #1 thing I want the computer to do is run Day Z Standalone on max settings smoothly.

Well the recommended system requirements aren't that high, you could easily spend less than 2 grand and run it on max. Do you need to buy a monitor? Case?

 

[Notaskinnychef]

no need to spend that much. just make sure you have an SSD and that will be your best performance increase. I am in to mine for about a grand (and thats inflated canadian pricing) and I can run anything (admittedly I haven't played BF4 yet so that's more demanding).

I love SSD's tho, from hitting power to online browsing in 22 seconds

 

[James]

I'm running bf4 on a sub 1k comp (gtx 660, i5-3570k, 8gb ram) and i get above 60 fps on a mix of high and ultra. haha for 2.5k, I'd SLI two gtx 780 ti's. That would leave ~ substantial 1.1k for the rest of the build

 

[Crothcipt]

Wow for 1.5k you can make a great rig. I recommend Maximum pc. They do benchmarking on a unbiased bases. I also think they do a high priced rig/and a budget rig build for the year.

I like amd myself, cheaper with about the same computing speed, well nothing you would notice anyway. +1 to a ssd drive its pretty much changed a lot of how things are done anymore.

I bought the exact same ssd about 3 months ago. It's a beast, really increased the speed of my computer overall.
