Originally posted by Northern View PostI am thinking of trying to build a half decent desktop this summer. It'll be my first desktop since like 2005 (which I used up until ~2010)
I nabbed a computer that was rotting in my FSAE shop. It supposedly didn't work, but it seems to be alright. It has a first gen i5-661 which is pretty ancient, and 16gb of ram because it was a solidworks bitch whenever it was actually used. Nothing else to mention about it, either bare minimum or severely out-dated bits everywhere else.
So far, I've acquired a used GTX 1070, a wireless card, a 120gb SSD to throw a free student copy of win10 on, and a relatively nice 650W power supply.
It'll probably run like shit, but I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
I have a co-op job this summer, and I'll probably do new CPU/mobo/ram then.

This is the current plan, works out to $800ish (note, CAD not USD). Hoping the AM4 is around for another generation yet.
I'd like to buy faster ram, but the internet says latency is more important so I'm trying to opt for that within my budget. A nice motherboard to a point, and the best processor in the series.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

Even with 16gb on my laptop, if I have solidworks open and have chrome open long enough, sw starts spamming memory warnings at me. Mostly just an issue with chrome, but it can't hurt.
I'm not opposed to waiting for a newer gen, (or still doing a 2700x slightly cheaper?) but I'm probably going to buy in may/early June and whatever is out then is what I'll get I guess.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

probably don't really need it unless I open our FSAE full car cad and want it to work smoothly. File size for the full car is ~3gb but I'm not sure how that translates to how much it takes up when opened.
I can open it now even with 12GB, but solidworks screams in agony. Also, 3/4 of the car is suppressed by default so its not really fully open.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

Yeah Yeah I know few of you will care in this thread but the greatest SciFi FPS of all time is coming to PC in totality.
Halo's Master Chief Collection is going to be available on PC this year(ish) with ALL the halo titles other than 5. Dropping in Chronological order of game events, Reach, CE, H2 H3 ODST, H3 and H4. All Campaigns and Multiplayer modes will be available with theater and forge modes as well.

I doubt it but I am wondering if there is going to be cross platform compatibility for MCC as I will be adopting it on PC as, it will make things much better while I travel for work as I can then just bring the laptop and leave the Xbox at home. If there is cross platform I can still play with the usual crew, and my doubles partner.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Random question: I build a custom gaming chair for racing games (seating position akin to F1, laid back seat) with a Fanatec GT2 Wheel and their Clubsport pedals. Also had a custom leather cushion made for the chair. I havent used it much at all and want to sell it... any ideas where I could post such a thing? Facebook? Craigslist?
