have to say the quality of the vids are getting better

[YosimeteSam]

He is still hyped on red cordial though......

[Syklone]

Hyped or not, I found that cool to watch

I haven't built a pc in years, all my work stuff is Dell or HP business machines which are just lego to me

Miss the old years where you built stuff.

ok so TL:DW, can i get a list of what he bought, i'm looking at a new mobo, ram and cpu, so i looked at intel I5-4590, asus maximus VII ranger, and 16gb of gskill ddr 3 2400, is his list any better? gonna use same power supply, same GPU and same case, and all my same HDDs and  7 OS

[Alucard]

what you have listed is better or the same as what is in the vid.. depending on what your GPU is could make the difference.

if anything you could probably change the RAM to something else that is cheaper that is about the only thing.
An i5 CPU would be suitable for pretty much any game.
would always recommend a SSD if your going for a new build.
would also suggest win 8

[cryptochild4]

cheers for the advice buddy

You could also go to a cheaper motherboard if you wanted to save some money. If you're not getting a K-series CPU or running a SLI/Crossfire setup you could drop down to a H97 motherboard. Even if you want to stick with a Z97 chipset there are still some in the $150-$170 range that are quite reasonable.

The rule with RAM is buy the cheapest dual channel 1600mhz DDR3 in the capacity you want with 9-9-9-24 timings from a trusted brand (Corsair, G.Skill or Kingston.)

That motherboard is massive, massive overkill. Buy the cheapest motherboard with the features you need -now- excluding sound, and get a basic pcie sound card. Any sound card you buy from ASUS or Creative for around $50 will sound as good or better than GAMING ROG SUPREME MASTURBATION onboard sound.

This will save you a substantial amount of money. Spend that on a better GPU, CPU and cooling, in that order.

I have a high end 286 for sale. Its in need of a small upgrade, IE a DVD Rom, and some small tweaks but you can have that for $1,000. Its cheaper than those high end games and  I will throw in some great game titles such as; Space Quest 1, 2, and 3, along with Kings Quest and Police Quest.

What do you think ? Its a beauty of a deal;

[DonutKing]

I know you're probably trying to troll but people actually do collect those old machines; you could probably get $50 or more for it on ebay.

[Syklone]

its a 50/50. But I really did own it, and those games. And sadly, I miss it a lot.

[Garby]

Always buy an SSD. Even if its a smaller one just for your Operating System and a game or two and leave the other crap on a regular HDD.

You dont need a benchmark to measure the difference it makes.

Closely followed by never leave important data in only one place. Easy to put important stuff in the cloud these days. do eeeeeeeiit.

Definitely one of the best upgrades you can do to a PC that will make a noticeable performance difference.

Only two? :p
