Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

WAYYY old school Command and Conquer
Battlefield 3,4 and 5
Thinking about COD
I'm a FPS kinda guy

I've continually heard that for years, I think it has more to do with the fact that theres less communication delay using hardwared controls. But the advantage is seriously minuscule IMO



I was a diehard 360 player, played with a few guys that EA sponsored back in the day. But I splurged on a gaming PC so the wife won't let me buy the xbox one lol



What games does he love to play?

Mostly, it’s the mouse. You can just get real accurate with it compared to a controller. The hand is faster and more precise than the thumb.

ah man, I should have my pc built soon. Which is why anything reef related other than food and reef supplements were on hold. Which games do you plan on playing?

What kind of PC? And mainly Battlefield 4, 3-4 are my personal favorites... I might spring for the new Modern Warfare, COD has kindof been garbage after MW2

Is Quake II still cool? All time favorite PC game.

That's one crazy build. I've always debated threadrippers vs i9.

Some really good deals on Samsung SSDs going on right now...

Ive always wanted a crazy build so im just going all out. I used to play on a dell inspiron with some old nvidia gtx video card. It was good enough for Urban Terror, Quake, MW2 and LoL some times.

legit, i can prob get a really good laptop for half the price too but building your own pc is just something I've always wanted to do.

@Katrina71 everything good on aquasd has been picked off :/ This 50% off deal is great but there's nothing to spend it on.

Same, I have done a lot of work on my laptop but there is a limit when compared to pc. You just have to focus on the parts that matter most i.e. best video card/processor. Your build is nearly enough to send someone to the moon.

The prices on the samsung ssds are amazing right now. I run the 970 EVO plus 1tb in all of my computers, it's really the best. Your laptop will potentially throttle the full performance of the card however. (another reason for pc).

Building a pc is wayyyy cheaper and wayyy superior for performance than doing any work on a laptop.

Not the case anymore with Alienwares new Area51 17" laptops.... both the video card and processor are future proof upgradeable. The only limit is the power supply... though it's not SUPER portable lol

Just ordered a 1 TB 970 EVO Plus. I don't think my laptop will throttle it back but I'm not entirely sure lol

Well there is definitely a limit. For instance, even the highest end razr laptops (which I have) throttle the ssd speed at like 1.8ghz. You also can't add anymore RAM to support the full performance of something like an i9 and definitely not threadrippers. Running a threadripper on a laptop will cause a house to burn down.

I'd look it up, every laptop I've ever owned and looked into has internal throttles for high performance ssds. They are not something you can change either.

 

[living_tribunal]

Right now, I’m running the razer blade stealth 2019, with the 970 evo plus, other little enhancements, and a gtx 1080ti in an external gpu case for my home office.

This little laptop is suped up on Mountain Dew, I’ve pushed it as far as it can go.

Well I guess mine will throttle it back, I stuck with the i5 on mine, although the best i5 they offered, I couldn't justify the extra $1000 for the i9 and the i5 they had for a choice out performed the i7s they offered. It's a pretty basic laptop 8GB RAM with the GTX 1060 6GB but I can just run an external if I really needed to. I just ordered 32GB of ram from corsair so we will see how that goes...

That's enough to play every game available at 60fps for the next 4 years lol.

That's kindof what I was hoping. I probably won't have it that long anyway lol I already dropped something on it and crushed the keyboard :(
