I usually upgrade when i need more power, no set schedule to follow.
Im still on socket 1366 from 2008, but i bought a 6core xeon for it on ebay for about 100 bucks, 6 cores/12 threads at 4 GHz is alright.
as graphics cards go, i usually do a high end card every other architecture.

at the moment my computer consists of

• Intel Xeon 5675 @ 4GHz
• Asus P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard
• 3x2 GB + 3x4 GB of various DDR3 ram @ 1390 MHz
• AMD 290X with aftermarket accelero xtreme 3 cooler ( 30c idle 55c load 65c mining)
• 1x500 GB samsung 850 EVO SSD
• 2x500 GB 2x640 GB 1x3TB HDDs
• Cooler Master M700 PSU

So some of these parts are 8 years old and still don't hinder performance significantly.
Pay attention when you buy your stuff, and you might not have to replace it that often.

@mellotronrules: Oh, you're right, i just noticed that the reply box is gone as well, so the thread is probably locked, why didn't i think of that.

I guess i'll have to pm 980 ti Jeff some suggestions instead of posting them in the comments then!

Hi guys, i noticed a strange issue on the latest beastcast's comment page.

On the most recent podcast, i have no ability to reply or quote.
I went back to episode 45, and it works fine there, as you see on my images below.
I also checked out all the other podcasts on giantbomb, and none of them have the same issue with the most recent episode.

I've tried firefox and chrome, and i've logged out and in once.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Edit: False alarm, that particular comment section was just locked by mods, no bug.

The game has changed name to Homeworld: Shipbreakers, and then after that to Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak

If you were a backer of the original title, you should have gotten an email these past few days to confirm your status as an original backer, in order to redeem your free copy of the coming title.

Make sure you respond to that email.

@helo189: Does it matter how close you are to the router?

It could be a signal range problem.
if you try something like browsing the web on your mobil, over the wifi, is it sluggish?

Are any laptops you own acting the same way?

I'm on socket 1366 as well.

I bought 3x2 GB of ram in 2008, and then complimented with 3x4 GB earlier this year, different specs although all 6 sticks are corsair, works fine.

And during that session with ok temperatures, you still got stuttering?

isn't 74 c a bit high for an amd cpu? dont they usually have a limit around 62?

That's a series that runs pretty lean on the cpu. if that's the kind of games you're going to play then you'll be fine, but battlefield or starcraft for example will benefit a lot from a powerful cpu.
Don't lean to heavily on just the system requirements, they can be very hit or miss, personally, i never check em, if I'm worried about performance, i turn to benchmarks of the particular game instead.

But since its just a band-aid until you can completely re-invent your PC, a new graphics card will give you the most potential increase in performance.

that Phenom II is january 2009 tech, thats 7-8 years ago.

It is time to start over, unless you want your computer to struggle with modern games.You have some some headroom for a more powerful gpu in your system, but in any situation where you need a modern cpu, your X4 965 is going to let you down.

Skylake is supposedly going to be released on the fifth of august, that's what you'll want to buy as far as cpu's goes.

the 390's draw a lot for sure, but a pretty typical system with one shouldn't draw more than 500 watts.

The 980 wont disappoint you though.
