He might start gaming who knows what's going to happen as a new dad, he likes the sports games. But his setup was ~8 years old. He's probably not going to upgrade in years, so it's "future proofing." He might start using the rendering portion of the 2060ko as a side hustle gig in this shit economy.
He probably didn't need a 2060, he doesn't game. But he wanted to spend that much on a GPU. :rolleyes: He needed to get this PC before his child is born in a month. He couldn't really wait for a 3070. And I doubt the price/availibility would be on his side anyways, since he has to pull the...
Thanks for your help guys, I spent sometime looking into cloning the hdd. However I should have done more research as my friend didn't even know they had windows 8. That seemed too hard to figure out how to make work, so I did a fresh windows 10 install and we got the software by "other" means...
I'm going to preface by saying this is for my friend believe me or not.
My friend's laptop is showing it's age working from home. I told him I'd help him build a new PC, if he wanted to go that route. He took me up on my offer. We have all the parts, we're going to build it this Friday. I...
How does one determine credit? Isn't this incredibly subjective? What if I were to say they are currently ranked lower than samsung, nexus line phones, and apple. So they actually get the right amount of credit at the moment. You can't live off the coat tails of 2013 forever. What have you done...
Maybe you're right about the GPU. I haven't played a 3D game in a couple years. I've been addicted to magic online, which is mostly a memory hog due to poor coding. Though I think I do want a low-mid range GPU in case I get the urge to buy the latest Civ game or play Dota 2 with bells and...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly web browsing and office programs. But I might want to play games in the future. So Id want a mid tier GPU. I want to try to build a quiet PC. I might try water cooling if its easy to install and fits in my...
Sounds good. I'm going to buy the antec p280 though. I like the mic/usb ports on the top of the case and I can just leave my old hardware in the p182 case and deal with it later.
Thanks for your help. I'm buying the rest of the parts you suggested right now.
The 30inch depth of the FT02 is too big for where I can put the case.
If I re-use my p182 case, what should I do with all the old hardware inside? Should I recycle it? Sell it? Give it away? I don't really have a use for turning it into a file server. I plan on keeping the old GPUs and HHDs...
Thanks Danny. That looks good. But I guess I should have noted that I don't want that big of a case.
I want something around the same size as the p182 which is:
21.3"(H) x 8.1"(W) x 19.9"(D)
The FT02 is:
23 x 13 x 30
Do you like the Antec P280?
20.7 x 9.1 x 22.1
I assume the mobo and GPU...
Thanks Quartz-1, i'll look into that.
Yes I have all the funds to make a purchase this coming weekend.
I don't really have any games in mind. It would be nice to have a decent GPU in case I want to play some FPS or RTS in the future. I guess a mid range GPU would be fine.
I currently...
1) What will you be doing with this PC?
A lot of video processing. Taking video files off my video camera, editing them and uploading them to youtube. Some gaming, would like to play current games on at least medium settings.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included...
Has anyone found this magical key logger that Blizzard claims everyone has? What malicious site is tricking people into downloading this trojan?
It seems like we would have found the source of this malware by now if all these high tech gamers getting hacked?
It's probably not malware, it's...
Did anyone find the program that keylogs people? Where people d/ling some map hack that is secretly a key logger?
I'm sure by now someone would have found the malware that is causing all these people to lose their gear?
Unless of course they can just bypass the log in and don't need your password?
Has anyone found the malware that is causing people to get hacked?
If not, it's probably not a malware issue, it's a session ID jacking issue.
how is that not a valid source?

hmm, i want to d/l L.A. Noire for 5 bucks, but i read all these horror stories of it not working on the PC (the cd keys don't work for steam)
It looks like on of the latest comment on amazon says to create a specific file path, since the one the game uses breaks the patching process
i...
i was reading the various forums about this game, since i liked HoMM3, and yeah this is another incomplete game
if you're just content with playing the single player campaigns then you'll enjoy it, but if you're into custom maps or multi player you're going to have to wait a 6 months or so...
Yeah they added some runewords that spawned this archetype. However these rune words are 6+ years old, but this is a very unplayed and non-popularized archetype. This rune word called dream gave you holy shock aura and holyshock gets boosted by lightning mastery. Holy shock also gives you 3000...
did anyone buy from gamestop? they're removing the free game code in the game

i'm about 75% through the demo, and i'm a big homm3 fan
don't really think this is worth $50 or whatever they want for it, seems like you're better off waiting for this to go down to $20
just reading the forums makes it sound like it'll be released in an incomplete state, and you're better off...
there are actually communities who's sole purpose is dedicated to playing d2 single player
they even hold contests/challenges
it's weird, but there is a small group that plays single player d2 and interacts with other people via forums and not battle.net
the day/night cycle for HoN is seven minutes and thirty seconds, i'm assuming it's the same for DotA
the night effects heroes' vision radius, and some skills (notably night stalker from DotA)
