Re: Looking at a new build.

Ok, I swithced it to a 13900KF. It's 130$ more but oh well. You only live once. :D

EDIT: Krom, would you recommend just dropping to an I7 instead of an I9?

I7 is almost 300 cheaper

Re: Looking at a new build.

Krom, are you recomnmending the KF instead? I don't need a built in GPU and don't need to overclock. I simply use it at it's default speed.

I'm a gamer at heart. And this is all coming from back pay so I take advantage of it since I can't upgrade parts along the way.

Re: Looking at a new build.

So I was not able to find the first 2 coolers at my PC shop but the Noctua was there.

I prefer staying with 64 Gigs RAM and upping to a 4080 is to much more money.

I switched to the lower CPU though.

The current config comes to $2931 plus taxes.

Looking at a new build.

Hey, so as I'm waiting for my back pay after signing a new contract, I'm wanting to upgrade my current PC. Below is what I'm thinking. This ends up costing $3000+taxes but not sure if I should change anything. I've attached the specs. I want to stay with Intel and upping to I9 from my current I7. Th...

Re: I'm going down again, and I'm prepared with lots of stuff...

We have to keep this stuff. Since Overload didn't make much money, I highly doubt any other 6DOF games will ever be made. Sadly , I don't have much time to play anymore so I concentrate my time in 1-2 games and Descent/Overload isn't in it anymore. I spent 15 years playing this from 94-2010 ish and ...

The people believing the insane false stuff usually deflect any try on proving their theories. They deflect by saying you prove it etc. Same when you ask religious people to prove God exists. They can't and they wither say, it's in the Bible or you prove he doesn't exist.
