@sombre: I've created a build here similar to the one you most recently listed. It comes it at 100 less. I'll tell you why I chose the parts I did.

Thanks, this looks way more reasonable. I know this is probably impossible to say, but what kind of percentage increase/decrease am I looking at building this over say, the other build I had looked at?

The problem with building a new PC is that there's so much information, it's hard to know what to look at!

I'm thinking about going with this build so far. I know it's a bit over budget, but if I'm going in on a good gaming PC, I might aswell just go for it.

Unless anyone else can give me a better build for my budget, I'll go with this. Ordering tomorrow, so if anyone has any advice, PLEASE shout!

Hey gang,

I'm building a new PC this weekend. I'm pretty excited, but when it comes down to actual hardware, I'm kind of at a loss. I've gone to reddit's "buildmeapc" board, and I've come back with two builds so far.

This

and

This

Would you recommend I build either of these computers?

Basically, I have an upper limit of £800. Would you build something else?

I'd love to hear from you guys if you have any ideas

Man, I'm not sure there's ever a great time. If you feel ready to do it, just do it. Ram prices are crazy, yes, but who knows when they'll even out? They were supposed to come down towards the end of the year, but they haven't.

My current setup is a four year old i5, 8gb of ram and a 1060. It runs everything I've tried so far in max settings. I say just go for it.

That's what I'm thinking. If I keep waiting, I'll end up never buying

What are you running at the moment?

I've certainly held off updating even though I had money in my pocket budgeted for it.

Hey gang,

I posted elsewhere earlier this week about my desire to build a new gaming PC. There's a lot of games I'm DYING to play, including Original Sin 2 and Owlboy, to name a few.

However, I am concerned that now might not be a great time to be building a PC. From what I've heard, RAM prices have rocketed due to their being used in phones, and GPU prices have shot up due to BTC miners. For example, I priced up a new PC about a year ago, and an 8GB memory set was £35. It's now £100. Outlandish or what?

So what would you say gang? Should I hold off? I know there's a new line of stuff coming out in the coming months, but even still, I wouldnt be buying them anyway. My budget is around £750, so I'll be using mid-high range products.

I know if I keep waiting though, I'll spend my whole life waiting. I'm gonna bite the bullet sometime. Should next weekend (When I can drive to SCAN) be that bullet.

Thanks in advance!

Hello gang,

I'm planning on building a new PC next weekend, and one of the games I've been dying to play is Overwatch.

But I'm worried there's not gonna be many people playing anymore. Is this true or not? Is it still THE multiplayer shooter on the PC?

@dudeglove: Was it the Project A sequel or something else where he is suppose to use a canopy to break his fall and lands on the back of his neck? It's freakin' insane because it's almost a two story drop and he rips through the canopy like it's paper but he walks away relatively unharmed. Yeah you're right that whole mall fight in Police Story is one ill-conceived and dangerous stunt after another.

I like how in Rumble in the Bronx where he breaks his ankle jumping onto a hovercraft so he shoots the rest of the movie with a cast on his foot painted up to look like a shoe.

Just want to add goddamn Jackie Chan is fucking awesome!

Interesting fact about that stunt:

He wasn't happy with the first take so he did it another two times before he was happy with it

I just watched the entirety of season 3 today.

How did I live without this show for so long
