gaming pc build

right got the wired internet working, quite marvellous considering its 3 floors up from the router, I am getting 39 ping and 9.29mbps download and 0.86 upload. how do these fare?

 

[BBrotherwood]

Fecking better then mine. Its about average. Government wants everyone to have 8Mbps down so your fine good as far as there concerned

yeah, worries me slightly when i see most streamers have like 100mbps download and 10mbps upload, still takes me like 6 hours to download tf2 using wireless, that might be where I am going wrong though lol

 

[BBrotherwood]

Wireless should no make a difference to download speed unless your router and adaptor card is rubbish (which I doubt it). To stream in HD you need a minimum of 1Mbps upload- if your playing multilayer then that obviously needs to be more. Most IP packages that offer that kind of upload are generally the upper end of the market.

Using a wireless router will increase your latency substantially though which is why its generally considered to be best to use a Cat 5/6 cable to the router instead.

yeah, well I guess our sky package was never upgraded, lol we are probably paying near the price of a fibre optic package, just sky are crap around our area. Well, that means no streaming for me then lol. Ok, thanks for the info. I thought wireless was worse in many ways, although I haven't seen much difference when using wired

You will notice it ingame. When I swapped I found it soo much better playing games, especially FPS titles.

now I have to regretfully inform you that, spending so much on a PC has meant that I have to use a sony bravia 40 inch tv as a monitor for the time being. The problem being it has a refresh rate of 50hz LOL. So I basically spent £1k on a pc and could get the same result from a £400 pc, but I will save up to get a 144hz monitor, hopefully at the end of the year. How will I notice 50 fps cap? (do I even english xD)

 

[BBrotherwood]

That is another debate entirely My view though is that eyes can only take in the equivalent of 28 FPS so as long as its more then that I dont care lol.

Besides there is no hard in future proofing your pc

yeah, well whenever I get £300 to spend on a monitor i guess I will be able to play at 144hz then, but I will be waiting a few months. Can't wait to build my pc, it should all come by thursday and then I will either build on wednesday or thursday depending on when it comes

 

[team flex]

so the case and the cpu have arrived, also expecting more today, will add when i get them. WARNING YOU NOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF PICTURES BELOW! Will add my thoughts on them so far later

sorry for shaky photo

sorry for the blurred picture, camera was playing up/ I can't take photos xD

 

[BBrotherwood]

:wub:

My case looks so boring and ugly now

 

[team flex]

everything has come bar the ram ffs, that might come on thursday or friday so having to wait until then to actually use the PC. shame, just because 1 person lied about 1 day dispatch

 

[Undieing_Lust]

Oh no...It has begun.

 

[team flex]

Oh no...It has begun.

Yep, still sitting here scratching my head. So, I have done cpu, cpu cooler, added to case, then connected all of the case things except for 2 things that I cannot workout where they go. Still, will take a picture tomorrow. I know one of them is a direct audio power thing but idk where the F*ck it goes lol. Will just add the gpu tonight I think, or maybe psu or both, idk we will see

 

[team flex]

I have everything everywhere as well, cba to take a picture but will do tomorrow, , literally leaning on my psu cables whilst typing, got my psu sitting next to me with the box of the hyper 212, and then the gpu box on the floor, cpu box god knows where, cable ties and screws and everything. Oh yeah and the thermal paste sitting there as well lol

really quite messy lol

 

[Undieing_Lust]

Read your mobo manual...

 

[team flex]

have done, nothing in there really, apart from the fact it is 100 pages thick XD. right so its like folex or whatever, connects the NZXT mini circuits, will do it tomorrow. Added the psu and now doing GPU, will finish tomorrow but have to wait till thursday/friday for the ram to arrive

 

[Undieing_Lust]

Molex.

 

[team flex]

Molex.

thats the one xD, just realised the connector has been sitting in the msi mobo box. FUUUUUUUU

that makes life a bit easier. So i am just connecting the gpu up, then will do molex connector, and then off to bed. I have spent a good 4 hours on this lol, too tired now

 

[team flex]

right time for bed, just done some cable management. I have to do - tomorrow will add the hard drive, connect everything then check everything, and do some research making sure everything is right, and then hopefully thursday the ram will come and I can fire her up and get the os installed, and then do some gaming
