gaming pc build

[team flex]

This is the build that I would go for. I have kept it red apart from the case. But it has a window so you can see your red build. Getting a good case is a hell of alot more important than one that looks nice. And the Phanteks Pro is an amazing case for the money, I also got you a 256GB SSD.

ok right, I am so stupid. Basically i forgot amazon didn't take paypal, so it means spending like £20 more from everywhere else. I know it sounds stupid but that is the difference between the 1tb drive and an ssd, so I have to go with the 1tb drive

 

buying it all now

[BBrotherwood]

Facepalm* get an ssd! A 120GB will do fine if you cant get the 256GB.

[BBrotherwood]

Or dont get the CPU cooler and use the stock one - £25 saved there.

[team flex]

the problem is I don't have the money, I would go for an SSD straight away but I still have to buy the case tomorrow when my phone sells, and at the moment the budget isn't allowing it, I can live with slow boot times, you have to understand i have lived with them for 5+ years and I have never had a 50fps framerate lol, I am going to buy this pc now

 

sorry for my ignorance it's just i want to buy it and I won't be able to afford the case with an ssd

[BBrotherwood]

dont buy it just let - i will try and find a good case which is £20 cheaper

ok, but it needs to be as sexy as the h440 from nzxt. I can wait a bit longer before I lose my mind and buy it (I am impatient, really impatient!)

[BBrotherwood]

Well that was a coincidence as I was looking at the H230 when you mentioned the H440. I bring you H440s sexy friend:

sorry, was nearly sick. I'm really sorry, but WD has one me over. Dw though, I will buy the ssd in like a month hopefully xD, dont be mad

[BBrotherwood]

Updated version of my case.

Corsair Carbide 230T would be worth a look as well, there is a red and black version...

You do realise it is a mega pain in the ass moving the OS over onto a different drive?

meh, also i may just leave os on the wd drive. Sorry man but i am going to order it now

[BBrotherwood]

If you leave it on the HDD then there is no point in having an SSD! There is a very good reason I am strongly encouraging you to get one. At least leave it till you have all the money together tomorrow and think about it.

xD ok i will switch it over, then. Right, so it will be ok to order?

[BBrotherwood]

As long as part of your order includes an SSD yes

[team flex]

right all ordered, all i don't have is the case, which I will buy tomorrow when my phone gets sold

 

by the way, I thought I ordered an ssd, but it must have jumped out of my basket at the last minute, idk how it happened... hmmmm

[BBrotherwood]

FACEPALM*

Who needs a gaming pc when you have a type writer? Nah, nice stuff mate, want to build my own PC but chose building an RC plane when I receive parts.

[team flex]

^^ haha yeah, hopefully will get a few more fps than a type writer, worth the £900 then.

Anyway, I have good news. I might be getting £70 on top of my phone selling, which hoepfully means I can buy an SSD with the money. I have to buy a desk as well but I have found one for £20, so that means about 50 quid, however I may be able to conjure up 10 quid off of my dad meaning i will be able to buy the samsung. If not i will stick with the corsair ssd for about 50 quid

[team flex]

right ordered the case, nzxt h440, so I will build next week, I have everything but an SSD which I might get next week, or if i don't another time

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
