Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 28-07-2014
Anyone on here on them apart from me?? Freshly built my new one but still using old graphics ATM
What games do you buy?
Use steam or origin?
Any other geeky stuff that's awesome
RE: Gaming PCs - ADV_93 - 28-07-2014
I used to be a PC gamer before cars took over my life.
Generally speaking, as a rule, i'd play games that were around the 1-2 years newer than my graphics card. But specs differ a lot so it depends on them. Steam is generally better as it's got a massive online community (well did back in 2008 when i played TF2 all day every day) and their summer sales are insanely cheap.
RE: Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 28-07-2014
They still have a huge communtiy. They just had a steam sale. Bought loads! Also preper into the dayz alpha atm although it really buggy
Also its an escape from cars. I fix them at work and have a lot of love for mine but I need some down time lol
RE: Gaming PCs - WiNgNuTz - 28-07-2014

Like i said "used to" haha! My mate very kindly bought me Mechanic Simulator and sent it to me, only thing is, my laptop can't run it on any level: inb4 Vista.
Give Max Payne 3 a run, got a lot of fun out of that.
Fix it, drive it, break it, fix it, drive it, break it. Rule of life.

Ill add havnt plyed gta yet :o bought bulletstorn for 2.50 on steam sale and it was epic. Bio shock recently. Really need to update graphics card as its ancient. Not sure what to buy though. Need a new one as ghosts wont run
RE: Gaming PCs - WiNgNuTz - 28-07-2014
Bioshock Inifinite? Got that in my library, pretty good game.
RE: Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 28-07-2014
Yeah. Better than the second one still got nothing on original though. That was epic
RE: Gaming PCs - Jimmy306uk - 28-07-2014

RE: Gaming PCs - lolsteve - 29-07-2014
Just finished the mass effect series, loved every minute
Don't use origin though, tell EA to do one.
League of legends anyone?
RE: Gaming PCs - silverzx - 29-07-2014
Planetary Annihilation.
Anyone who had a PC in the 90's and was a gamer will know exactly how epic this is going to be. I've got the Gamma version but once multiplayer bugs are ironed out it's going to be insane!

RE: Gaming PCs - bigcheez2k3 - 29-07-2014
I have one, although I'd like to build a new one in the next year as it'd getting a smidge old now. Still running a Phenom 9850 from around 2008 but upgraded the ram to 8gb last year and bought a 7870.
I use Steam, Bigheez2k5. Mainly on Dota but have a fair few games.
RE: Gaming PCs - Eeyore - 29-07-2014
I built mine in the first year of uni. One of the first I7s that came out, 8Gb memory, 120SSD, 3x 500Gb HDDs, ATI Radeon 5770, watercooling etc Also got two 19" monitors.
It still plays stuff decently but i havent bought any recent game. Plays everything i want to play on max.
RE: Gaming PCs - Martin306 - 29-07-2014
I've got MASSIVE spec man want to hear?
64 bit P4 3.06 GHz
2GB DDR2?
700W power supply, anodised purple. so it's mega.
An NEC motherboard of some sort
ASDA Smartprice laser mouse
Mass produced HP 316 keyboard
ATI Radeon HD 5450 Fanless with 1GB memory overclocked as far as I dare to take all the load off the strained P4 doing simple tasks.
Yeah bitches, massive, I can play Command and Conquer.
RE: Gaming PCs - Eeyore - 29-07-2014
Which command and conquer? i doubt it can play tiberium wars onwards!

Does it matter? I thought the C&C series went downhill rapidly after Red Alert 2.

Well i do live in front of the thing tbh...and its not actually as messy as it looks in the pic...honest!
Also, if you wanna get pedantic, i actually have 3 screens attached to the PC...theres a 6m HDMI cable running across the room (Yes, right across the MIDDLE of the room!
) to the TV for when me and the missus wanna watch a film or TV series from the PC. Only ever 2 screens active at a time though, which is a bit poo.
RE: Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 29-07-2014
Thats a genius idea I should buy another moniter for that!! Also the best command and conquer was red alert 2
RE: Gaming PCs - lolsteve - 29-07-2014
I think these prices are right, if not they're only slightly off
AMD Athlon II X3 415e triple core 2.5ghz overclocked to 3ghz. Tried unlocking the secret 4th core but it wasn't stable. Bought it from china 2 years ago for £30
4gb of ram which also got a bit of clocking
ssd for system booting, best performance upgrade. Can open chrome before the computer has even finished connecting to the internet
Radeon 6670, dvi port on it doesn't work so won on ebay for £15 i think? I just use the hdmi out anyway
Motherboard is some random returns one I picked up from local computer shop for £20
Power supply..is supplying power
Dell 16:10 monitor, picked up from gumtree for £40
In total using bits I found from old computers and the ebay/gumtree specials my game machine cost me sub £100
RE: Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 29-07-2014
Mines
Gigabyte h87-hd3
8 gb corsiar vengeance 1600mhz
Intel i5 4400 quad core
600w power suppy corsiar one
Dell monitor
Gtx550 I think my graphics is. Its ancient wont even run dx11 so if anyone has a.decent graphics card they wanna sell
RE: Gaming PCs - daveylennon93 - 30-07-2014
I built a monster 1 in oz last year. Cost about 2 grand for parts. Way better quality than a ps3. Sold it then b4 i came home so went bak to ps.
Cod mw3 is the best game ever made

MW3 is the best game ever? Lol wut
Of course it'd be better than a PS3, seeing as the PS3 is from 2005.

Anyone who thinks COD is the "best game ever made" clearly needs educating in the gaming department!
RE: Gaming PCs - RetroPug - 30-07-2014
The general consensus is that it isn't even the best COD game
RE: Gaming PCs - bashbarnard - 30-07-2014
The best cod game was mw2. Commando pro ftw!!! But by far the best game ever
RE: Gaming PCs - RetroPug - 30-07-2014
The average commando kill:

It was a good game at the time, but there were some quite big broken bits, such as people being invincible while they used commando and charging through an entire magazine to stab you.
