Super cool computers in this thread. Good shit guys.

PUBG is one of the hardest games on my PC and I hardly ever drop below 80 frames with all graphics set to max except foliage and shadows.

I’ve been playing a lot of Escape From Tarkov recently, and for how poorly optimized that game is (makes PUBG look buttery smooth), I have very little issues with it other than the server desync.

I have EFT too, Its not poorly optimized by any means, it runs beautifully on my PC. The major issues just tend to be server side Desync like you said.

i need an ITX build in my life!

[Varinn]

Man you guys have cool shit. I built a non ITX but ITX system recently as I wanted something that fit well in the living room as a bit of a showpiece. I'm happy with it but it's no small system by any stretch.

This is an 8700k manual oc @4.8ghz/1.27v delidded, Strix Z370-i, GTX1080 FTW2, custom loop. Case is a Phanteks Shift X which seems to be a love/hate sort of thing





I'm trying to find a deal on an ITX or at least mATX mobo to thin down my old mid-tower to something NCase M1 sized for the desktop/wife but it isn't looking promising. Used Ivy Bridge Z77 ITX mobos are selling for $200+ which in my mind is fucking absurd.

Seriously, cool shit in here.

What a good bump :p

Nice system.

Currently the wife and I run 7 systems here at home. Nothing super fancy, no watercooling. We have 2 decently capable gaming machines for us to game together and then multiple HTPC's for Plex and Kodi duties as well as a media server. We hide most of our systems in cabinets (HTPC cases), behind TV's (NUC) but here is one that I did some light modding to. It's my PC that I use in my parts room that drives 2 32" TV's. One in the parts room with the PC and the other on the other side of the wall in the garage. Use it for looking up parts, YouTube, and the like while working on the cars.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
GTX 550Ti
Shitbox case from a comp build in 2008 (painted it white/black and did some carbon wrapping. Also added white LED fan, power/HD LED, and lighting inside).
12GB of random DDR2
80GB OCZ Vertex
120GB 5400RPM 2.5" laptop hard drive
Intel Socket 775 MoBo
$15 power supply that I sleeved and shortened cables on with paracord

It's a trashcan PC really, but it serves its purpose well, and doesn't look like garbage so I kind of have a soft spot for it.

Not sure what games you guys play... but Destiny 2 is only $25 on Amazon right now... killer deal for a game that just came out on PC a month ago. Incidentally, that's the price for all systems, so if you are a console guy/gal, you can get your deal too!

Thanks for the heads up. I've been meaning to play that.

You young'uns talking about high memory prices made me laugh. At my first real tech job memory was $1 per MEGABYTE for PC100 - and that was the reseller cost.

[MrBurgundy]

what games are you playing with that gtx 550ti? TETRIS?

just kidding

I'm rocking a gtx 560m 3gb in my Asus that I play SC2 on

The difference here is there isnt a supply issue and the tech isnt bleeding edge, they are just price fixing.

I just got a new laptop. My PhD advisor actually bought it for me, relatively painfree convincing too.

HP 2 in 1 touch screen with i7-7500U, 16GB RAM, 1 TB memory. Should be more than enough for the Lightroom Photoshop I use along with the bioinformatics that I will be getting into over the next couple months.

Rip not Ryzen Mobile.

The new Ryzen mobile APU is actually a ridiculous beast.

If anyone wants to play Rainbow 6 Siege or Escape from Tarkov, WOW, etc feel free to add me.

Steam: 'Rohki' or 'Liechengsos'
Uplay: 'Rohkii'
BNET: 'Rohki#1600'

FYI for any fellow Canadians, NCIX closed up all remaining retail locations and filed for bankruptcy today. It seems the website is still accepting orders but I have real strong doubts that anything is going to get filled. The general impression from some people is that the head office may have locked out all employees as no form of customer service was in action today, including the recently returned lead of the forum.
