EdgarusQPFC Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ahhh I see, was wondering how you managed to get it all so cheap Considered a SSD for mine, it seems quality being able to boot your system so fast, but doesn't seem vital. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Considered a SSD for mine, it seems quality being able to boot your system so fast, but doesn't seem vital. Its the single best upgrade you can do In terms of noticeable performance improvement its way ahead of anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Massive overhaul of my PC, almost everything is being upgraded, new gaming rig case with proper airflow, new power supply, a working optical drive(woot) Processor: AMD A8 6600K 3.9Ghz Quad Core(Turbo'd to 4.2Ghz) Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2 Board 8570D onboard GFX Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance Memory Storage: 1TB + 200GB hard drives Graphics: Nivida Geforce 9800 GT Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium £270 well spent Why bother with the 9800 at all? Surely the graphics performance of the 6600k on its own is far better than a 9800GT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Ooooh see Far Cry Blood Dragon is going for £4, pick that up if you're a shooter fan, fucking superb game Picked that up. I loved Far Cry 3, I have it on the X-Box and it is probably the best open world FPS I've played. Blood Dragon has always looked like a head ache enduing nightmare in terms of the graphics. I'll give it a go though. Also picked up the DoW II expansion packs, FTL, AoE II & III pack, Max Payne 3 and the original Deus Ex. What a tricky b*****d of a game Deus Ex was. I've still got my PS2 copy and I'd forgotten just how hard the game is. The AI is pretty mediocre compared to newer games but I keep getting punished for making simple mistakes when trying to take someone down. Despite that it still feels utterly fantastic to be playing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite that it still feels utterly fantastic to be playing it. I like it so much more than Far Cry 3, it's a bit of a stripped down version but it's not as much of a chore to just wander around. The sense of humour in it is superb, like a parody of every 80's action movie. Graphics wise it's actually not too bad, it's not as neon-infested as the cover art implies. It's a wee bit darker than I'd like even when you adjust the brightness, but once you get used to it it's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 2 more for L4D2 in an hour? Have mic + TS as communication is vital Give me a shout on Steam. I've not played it for ages, tremendous game though. The custom campaigns with user added maps are great too. I quite enjoyed DOW 2. Same here, again a fantastic game on co-op too. Oh and current rig: CPU - Intel i5-3570 Mobo - Asus P877Z RAM - 8GB Corsair GPU - EVGA 670gtx HD - 240GB Corsair SSD, 640GB and 160GB HDDs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's just you, "Andy". L4D2 is fucking fantastic. Bellend. On another note, finally started playing Portal 2 after buying it in the summer sale. What a game. Stephen Merchant does a fantastic job as Wheatley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, but if you're playing L4D2 on console you're missing the point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
