Thank you for your reply. I do have another question. To cool my CPU, should I buy some thermal paste or will the fan be enough ? I have built a rig before, but that was so long ago and never bothered about different manufactures or whether thermal paste was necessary.

That's what I thought, but when I built my first rig, i didn't think of it that much (That was when the GTX 7600 was considered a pretty good card. I think I was 12 back then. Still using that rig actually xD). The thing is, I want to be able to futureproof it as much as I can.

Hello all. I've been doing some research now and I have finally decided on a rig. I'd like to hear the Escapist's opinion. CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Box, LGA1150 Motherboard: ASUS Z87-Expert, Intel Z87, Sockel 1150, ATX RAM: 8GB-Kit Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 Case: FRACTAL DESIGN...

Hahaha, that reminded me of something. I was going to the labs for studying and heard footsteps behind me. When I reached the door I automatically just held it open, not even knowing it was a girl. Anyways, this 18 year old (give or take) 'neohippy let's-fight-the-government-on-facebook' type...

Told you I was hideously outdated :p. But seeing as the new consoles don't interest me at all and I love pc gaming anyways, I figured I'd spend my money on a new gaming rig. Thanks for the info

Thank you very much. I'll combine your links with tom's hardware to make my decisions. Basically invest more in the motherboard/CPU and PSU, then start looking for the GPU is what you're saying ? Can't believe how little I knew when I build my first pc :/.

Thanks for the advice. But I am mainly trying to catch up on this gen as well. What would your advice be for someone wanting to buy this generation of games ? (And yes, I'm a bit of a graphics whore, because I like pretty pictures :) ) I have to say the gtx 770 and 690 are a bit too pricey, even...

Thank you very much for your help :). But I do have a few more questions though. When I select a part on the website you gave me (thanks for that, it's really great), there are what I think different variables for the same part. For example, When I look for the processor Intel 4670k, I get...

Hello there. I've been wanting to build a gaming rig again for quite a while, but I am MASSIVELY not up to date with the hardware. My Graphic card is Nvidia 7600GT, so you know how long I've been out of the pc world :p. (still runs l4d2 like a charm :) ). Anyways, having consulted this...

When I played The Force Unleashed 2 and finished it 2 hours later after paying 50 euro's.

I stared at them for a while before i got it and now i can't stop laughing ^^. O.T I don't see the appeal of buying new either. Games that have yearly releases and are mostly focused on online play have the advantage of buying early, because most of the fans will just buy the newer one...

Hi there. Here is a wonderful website I am currently using to build my pc. http://www.logicalincrements.com/ It's really amazing. If you decide on a part, you just click on it and it'll take you to a website which sell the part you wanted at the price listed. It helps with getting more bang...

Depends. If I'm with my girlfriend, I know I'll get up so I can wake her up. A bomb could explode next to her and she would still sleep through it :p. When she's not there, I have a pretty hard time. Especially on sundays, I just don't care about getting up early :D

I don't know. There's something about seeing my girlfriend smile to me when I see her after a long day. I'm happy with her. ( Note, i'm perfectly happy when I was single too). There is no "point" to anything if you take it to the extreme. People could easily ask what the point is in some of the...

I always meant to try the Tobiscuit :p
