personally i got a future proof PC
12gb tripple channel ram
i7-920 cpu
750ti ultra oc (not future-proof)
It's been outdated. I deal with it, though.
>>332620261
I knof this thread is bait but
>future proof in general
>>332620261
Yes but i don't care, settings can always be changed. Once i stop being able to play games at high then i'll consider upgrading parts but until that time comes it just seems like a waste of money.
>They fell for the PC master race meme
>>332622557
Not everyone only started playing video games in the past decade anon.
it's already out-dated as fuck. I don't care though since I don't play that many newer games and the one I do aren't that intensive.
>>332620261
i5-4690, 8 gigs of RAM, GTX 970. I'm fine.
My PC was a beast until the GPU starting showing artifacts. Replaced it with the only thing I could afford and now it's the only thing that let's it down.
I wanted a 780 when it came out, is it still a solid card today?
>>332623659
Yeah it's ok, it'll play pretty much anything you throw at it.
>>332623659
My PC was a beast untill Nvidia started releasing mico code to slow it down so I would buy there nwest cards.
naw, I prefer to buy 2 consoles in the same gen for more than a pc would cost cuz i love 20 dicks up my ass

funny thing is that i decided to start saving up money for a new GPU (GTX 980) and a new CPU (new i7) also new Mobo and upgrading to a 16gig ram.
so i was putting more hours in my job.this past Easter Sunday i got suspended from work.
im waiting for them to call me to see if im working or if they're firing me.
haven't told my family i was suspended.
good thing i had a lot of money saved up.
i won't be using that money for a new PC.
i don't need it that badly.

>>332624068Yes, but i would hold off on VR for at least a few more years, being an early adopter of tech is rarely a good investment.

i7 3770 (3.4Ghz, quad-core)
GTX 660 Ti (2GB VRAM)
8GB RAM
Bought it prebuilt 2011 and it's served me fantastically since. Gonna finally upgrade my GPU soon, since my CPU and RAM are still perfectly fine, but the 660 Ti isn't cutting it for the Division or Paragon, and I want Dark Souls III to run at max settings.
kinda, its not "bad amd driver" proof tho

the 650ti meme is a dank meme
i can ultra 1080p any game on my 750ti EXCEPT for rise of the meme raider
of course i dont get 60fps, but 40fps is playable since i dont suffer from autism
my 750ti is OC'd to 1ghz over factory so that helps 5ghz ddr5
People with Nvidia thinking they are Future proof.

Oddly enough, it handledAlien Isolation and NewWolfon 1080p with some tweaks to settings. But then again, those devs are wizards.
>>332624768
You have no idea how much I wanna play GTA5 or Witcher 3, let alone play a lot of my games maxed. Though if it works (and if I can still pull at least 30fps) then I won't replace it.
Yeah but I don't give a fuck games on medium these days look bretty good
My GPU died (560ti DCU2) but other than that my current PC has been a stupidly good investment, by this pace my current CPU will last me five more years.

Kinda. But I'm not that worried yet. When I'll get to try out Dark Souls 3 I'll know if I should invest for better gear. Only W3 has been a game that I've skipped due to fps, but haven't tried it since launch week.
I'll probably try overclocking first, but I'm really fucking clueless how to go about it so I never bothered.
>>332625124
Langston?
What am i talking about? Langston wouldn't be awake at this time.
Yes I have a HD6850 still, I'm planning on upgrading during the summer. Hopefully the prices will have dropped a bit by that time

i had a final warning noticed that was issued last year around Nov.
if i got 1 more write up,i was going to get suspended and they were going to review my info ect...
2 weeks ago i didn't do my papers correctly.
so they were issuing me 2 write ups because of it.
everything was good until they saw that i have a final warning. i should had been suspended in January because i got a write up back then.
i feel like i have a 60% of coming back and 40% that they're going to just fire me.
the struggle is real

Going to upgrade to the GTX 970, it'll expand the life of my PC for a few years then I'll probably have to do a full rebuild. I was looking at the GTX 980 but the price increase is too much to justify the performance in my opinion from the 970. + I game at 1080p so there is that.

OP here. the funny thing is that I'll outperform you in most modern games coz my gpu is meme-proof
your meme gpu will become literally unusable in a few months
>>332620261
Yes. Apparently, it won't be able to play Overwatch.
>>332625608
I honestly would not be surprised if that was the case. I wouldn't put it past nvidia to nerf their GPUs just before the new line comes out.
>has a setup powerful enough to design games

>>332625735
the 970 is the master of planned obsolesce
they just did a very good job to give that card a limited lifespan
>>332625829
>designing games requires powerful hardware
huh?
>>332626045
For efficiency, yes. If you're on a slow ass PC it's going to take you a hell of a lot longer to execute any task. Even opening a blank word document will take longer.
Mine start falling off there
still waiting for pascal.
>>332625558
I have a friend that did the exact same thing.All he plays is Arma 3, which doesn't fucking matter what GPU you're using
>>332625558
Some people are just retarded. It's like how my Subaru outlived most of my friend'd shit cars like Mazda and KIA but these are the defacto cars out here so everyone HAS to get them, despite costing twice mine and half as effective.
People like your friend don't even care about performance to cost ratio, just about having the BEST AND GREATEST because it makes his weanus hard, like poorfags that keep buying a new iPhone every year on a shitty plan while still not having payed off last year's purchase.
A fool and his money are always parted.
I built my PC 3 years ago and all I need to upgrade is my GPU
Feels good man
>>332627152
not so good fool.

Just because he built it 3 years ago doesn't mean he used 3 year old components.
>>332627458
ahhh the 60fps meme
if u want 60fps for each new game that comes out be prepared to spend at least $800 every year and a half
and now with the 4k meme you'll have to spend $1000 a year

its ok, consolefags litteraly don't know about settings menus. I mean what use could that tiny menu that only adjusts brightness be?
>>332627707

PCs get outdated about as often as console to be honest.
>>332631440
38fps is pretty good for a 750 ti playing a 2016 game maxed out in 1080p.
>>332631497
But they can be upgraded, while consoles need replaced entirely.
>>332631497
GPUs do.
>>332631610
The "can" be upgraded, but depending on your choice of motherboard, PSU, box, cooling and so on, you may need to replace too many parts.
I imagine most PC gamers just buy a new machine every console generation.

mine became outdated about 4 years ago.
i5 760, its socket doesnt support anything with any worth today.
i can probably stick with my gtx960 for a while.
My last mid-range build lasted about 7 years with just a very cheap GPU upgrade, so I'm pretty optimistic.
>>332623189
>5 years old hardware
>not outdated
>>332631663
I generally keep upgrades in mind when building a PC.
>I imagine most PC gamers just buy a new machine every console generation.
Kind of, although sometimes i'll build 2 per generation, but that's simply because i'm a tech enthusiast and i want to, not because i need to.
>>332627707
>All these compromises
I'd rather spend a fraction of the money and get a console. PC gaming is horribly overrated.
4690k
7870, a 4 year old card more powerful than the PS4's GPU which I can overclock
I'll probably get a new GPU when the new cards drop, the 7870 is a beast but it's kind of showing its age

Consoles are for people that don't have time and PC are for people that want better games with better quality and have the time to tweak a PC
>>332632264
Then why do NEETs always play on console?
>>332632349
They don't care about quality
>>332632264
>not being an idort
>>332632417
If anything it would be the other way around. They would care more about the quality of the game because they have less disposable income to spend on vidya.
>>332632349
Speak for yourself, I'm a NEET and a mustard.
>>332625434
You would be surprised how stupidly easy it's for HR departments to fire someone. I used to manage a plant with about 400 employees per shift, and people would get shit canned for the most minor of infractions.
Only exception being if they were union or under a very strict contract.
Those "reviews" were basically someone from the HR dept rollong up on me with a folder and saying "We need to fire this guy. Get it done"
They would throw a blanket statement over it too, such as liability, performance and even work ethics and appearance.

Upgraded from a 580 to a 980 last year, beacause my 580 died.
Recently upgraded from a 2500k to a 6700k, also bought a 750ti and made a 2nd machine with the old 2500k.
So now I got a pretty beast main machine and a very capable 2nd machine.
>>332632701
Is it worth to buy 980? Isn't it better to pay slightly more and get proportionally better performance with 980Ti?

I'd say, if you're gonna spend such amounts of money anyway, go for the better model always.
Is "future proof" the hot new meme?
>>332632757
Not all the time, it depends on your power supply and shit. A 980 requires 500w but a 980 ti requires 600w.
No point buying the more powerful card f your power supply can't handle it.
>>332632854
Multimedia design actually
Gaming is done on consoles.
>>332632987
The only things that really can be future proofed at this point is your mobo and PSU.
>>332632987
It's not a meme. It's just being smart.
I built my 2500k+gtx 580 system in 2010 and if the 580 hadn't died, I would still be running everything near maxed.
I have similar expectations of my 6700k+980 system.

I recently came into some cash and got some money to blow and I'm looking into either building a pc or just buying a really strong prebuilt.
Whats the drop off on graphics card power, I mean I saw some video the other day of a computer that had 3 980's and still couldn't run Crysis 3 on its highest setting with a stable 60fps(think it said it stayed around 45.)
I probably only know a bit more then the bare minimum so what should I be looking into.

Why didn't you just stick the 980 in the 2500k machine? There won't be any bottlenecking.
>>332633279
Basically what >>332633408 said.
You'll likely be paying upwards to 4x as much if buying a high-end prebuilt, your best bet is to either wait or skimp on the GPU, buy an entry level one for the meantime, like a 750 TI, then upgrade it when the new ones are released.
Probably best to just wait but if you really can't wait to smoke niggas then there is an alternative.
when your motherboard cant support the latest cpu
>>332633457
So far it's been enough even for the most unoptimized AAA game at 1440p
>>332620261
Not really
I'm kind of sad theres no 1080p, g-sync 144hz IPS screen out there, don't want to always buy the highest end shit just so I can have solid framerates, and even my 1440p korean monitor is fucking me in that.
Still, for the money I spent I'm doing good with my 4670k and 970, at 1440p 110hz.
What's a good gpu I can get for about 200 euros?
I think about getting the Sapphire r9 380 nitro, I don't want to spend 400 bucks and this card seems pretty good. Anyone have it and how is it?
I want to join the master race after playing Witcher 3 and XCOM 2 at my m8s house.
I don't know heads and tails of this shit other than;
>still using 32bit
>using a graphics card that can't play anything made after 2005
>CPU doesn't have enough RAM to compensate for modern games
There are other issues to be sure, but I don't know where to (or how to) begin. It also doesn't help that I'm poor as fuck.

Sorry to tell you this anon. But joining the master race is not cheap.
I spent close to $800 on my PC last year and every last one of these faggots would laugh me out of the country.

>>332635263
Flat out wrong.
Being an enthusiast is not cheap.
Building a PC capable of running 98% of all games at a playable level with compromises is cheap as fuck.
Me and my friends bought new PCs at the same time in 2008 and 9
Since then I've replaced everything in my PC, many things several times at that.
Two of them upgraded their GPUs once
One of them upgraded nothing until now.
You can build a PC on any budget.
>>332635594
You need to program the simulation in order to simulate, anon.
I have a Radeon 6950. I would upgrade, but the only games that really require it are trash console ports of AAA games I wouldn't want to play anyway.
>>332620261
I think it's i5, 560ti. Getting a bit old but there's nothing coming out I want that's graphically intensive.
>>332635263

I got a small 4 year old laptop that wasn't that powerful to begin with, I bought it for school work since I wanted to go study software development. The audio jack is fucked a little but still works. I had to change the keyboard tho because I managed to spill some tea on it, thank god for the chinese I got a new one from china for like 10$. I love my little chugger I hope it doesn't get fucked too soon because I don't have a job at the moment.
I can't really play new stuff so I'm mostly playing games with low requirements like Civ. I like especially the older stuff that I didn't play yet or indies like Binding of Isaac. Right now I'm on System Shock 2 and I just got Warhammer from Humble Bundle so that's next.

So you want to always have to buy the absolute best performance card, for a minimally visible resolution upgrade, that won't let you ever run demanding games with maxed graphics?
>>332637080
Well, its graphics are mediocre to bad by todays standards so I guess thats why I went with it.
I can't run nearly any game released in past 3 years on decent settings and most of them even on lowest. Fucking DOTA 2 drops to like 15 fps sometimes.

Have you ever seen 4k?

Numerically maybe.
Having to take down Shadows to medium will make for an uglier game objectively, but even when you can still max the game at 4k its still not the visual upgrade that is worth the expensive investment of both the monitor and the required GPU/gpus

My PC has been outdated for more than 6 or 8 years, but I don't mind
>750ti
For being such a tiny fucking card for $50, it really doesn't give a shit what you throw at it as so long as you dont do anything retarded like try to play on high / max
All I really need to do is upgrade my GPU and add some more ram probably. Maybe some more harddrives because 500 gigs is killing me.
>>332638524
Replace the thermal shit
My PC was outdated when I got it since I'm primarily a consolefag. Have been thinking about building a new one though, but prices are always going down so I always have incentive to wait.
>>332638524
No it's not, the fuck is wrong with you? Those temps are excellent.
>Built PC in 2010
>All I've had to do was boost memory from 4 to 8 gigs in that time
>Last year I bought a 970 and plopped that in
I was surprised at how well my other old components held up, even shit like TW3 on ultra was a breeze. I sorely need to upgrade but ehhhhh, maybe a new hard drive first, my motherboard is so old it isn't even close to being compatible with modern CPUs.
>>332638619
Its mostly just because its a tiny mITX filled to the brim
Happens when your PC is shoebox sized, though I haven't seen the mobo get that far yet
>>332620261
i7 920 here
It's only just this year that I feel the CPU is starting to hold me back now.
However, DX12 with its improved multithreading should help a lot. I mean, this CPU is still about 2x as powerful as the ones in the consoles.

they are pretty high for idle, or would be in a midtower
>>332620261
The processor is a lot more important than the graphics card for using a computer, get a good processor, but get an alright graphics card and you'll be fine, as most games don't even need a great graphics card to run at high settings. VRAM is much more important.
>>332638617
I was on a 550 Ti until a few months ago and could play pretty much everything until Ground Zeroes and Lord of the Fallen came out.

I had to work my ass off with airflow, new coolers and thermal paste to reduce the idle temp on my 4690k to 40C. Getting that sort of temperature without doing anything is incredibly good.
Reminder that DDR4 is about to get released and the most expensive computers today will be absolutely obsolete
>>332638975
Really?
Maybe room temp is higher over there anon
This has a AIO watercooler with 2 gud fans blowing shit off of it for cooling - but in a midtower with a good ol CM hyper 212+ on it it stayed below 40°C even when OCd like this, around 32-35.

A good budget build will give you all of the positive aspects of a PC while not being absolutely ridiculous.
People love to act like this shit is the most tedious thing in the world and that you MUST dump over a grand upgrading every six months in order to play vidya, but I've had this little toaster for about five years that I wasted $600 for, and it still runs just about everything fine and on decent quality.

>>332642497

Why did you spend money on K if you`re not overclocking it?
>>332642049
You can get a 120g SSD to shove Windows and your most played games on for peanuts, you don't need a huge one and the boost really is a world of difference
>>332642603

Completely ass backwards, this is why I'm still an AMD fanboy
At least the obsolescence isn't planned intentionally and they're just honestly shit
>>332642603
i7 owner here. Get an i5 unless you have a ton of cash to blow. Better yet, just get AMD. GHz matters as well as number of CPUs.
>>332639378
People also forget that if you're dropping a grand, you're not upgrading every 6 months. Unless you're the kind of guy that upgrades his phone whenever a slightly newer version comes out.
We all know that guy who buys the iphone 5 and then the iphone 5c, and the iphone 5s but doesn't really use his phone outside of messaging and basic apps.
>>332642984
It's easier and safer today than it if ever was, especially if you're an AMD user, but the odds are your card had idiot-proof o/c software included in the box
>>332639201
retard alert,
if your ram goes over 1600 refresh you have wasted your cash. completely, only think youll see an improvement on is synth benchmarks(maby)
>>332642245
That may be true, but I upgraded to 10 on the day of release, and I've not had any major problems with Windows 10 that I couldn't fix after a few hours of Googling. The biggest problem I had with Windows 10 was the recovery feature (restoring system to a previous date) making my system go into an infinite boot and I solved it by simply deleting past partitions and performing a clean install of Windows 10 on a fresh partition.
The second problem I have is that I sometimes BSOD when I boot up MSI Afterburner or Speccy with a "PAGE ERROR IN NON PAGED AREA" code. I just stopped using Speccy and Afterburner that often. It's also a pretty big problem because there's a Microsoft forums post with 200 pages of people complaining about Windows 10 forcing a Speccy/Afterburner uninstall after an update like six months ago.
The final problem I'm having is that if I leave TeamSpeak 3 running when I put my PC to sleep, on wakeup my mouse becomes completely unresponsive and a beeping noise comes out of my headphones whenever the cursor moves a single pixel, or if I do something like clicking. I read up that this is a TeamSpeak problem and not Windows 10, but this wasn't present on Windows 7... and it wasn't present on Windows 10 until about the past month or so.
>>332643116
Is it worth the few extra frames?
>>332639378
I built a nonbudget build out of then-outdated gear at the ass-end of 2010 for roughly the price of a PS3 and it was still handling shit fine right up until I dropped PS4 money earlier this year on >>332642175
>>332642840
I did this with 60g SSD but I ran into slight issues because visual studios doesn't allow you to install it in any drive that isn't your windows drive. If you try to install it another drive it'll install like documents file totaling kbs but still install gigs on your windows drive, which didn't have space.
It was ridiculous, other than that the SSD is amazing and I'm mad I didn't upgrade earlier.
>>332643295
For the card it wouldn't be if it were any kind of effort, but you can get some pretty hefty returns out of relatively minor CPU cranks that are perfectly fine to run 24/7 for years
>>332642819
I have a Hyper 212 EVO. It's not really an overclock-cooling air-based heatsink. I guess I could OC to something like 3.9 or 4.0 and be perfectly fine, but I don't actually need to right now. I primarily got a K version because it's nice to have the option. It's the same reason I got a standard-ATX motherboard, so if I ever want to run SLI, I can.
I plan on getting a Corsair H100i or something similar eventually, and that's when I'll overclock my CPU.
>>332643007
you're not spending money to overclock, you're saving money to not overclock.
The non-k cpu is for people who are willing to lose out on a feature (that they most likely won't use) for a cheaper price. If you don't plan to overclock (which a majority don't) and you get the 4770k it is just a waste.

>>332643675
When I got my 4770K it was only $30 more expensive than the non-K version. It's not that big of a waste, especially considering it's something that a user could become interested in at a later date.
By this same logic, getting any vehicle that goes over the speed limit is a waste because not everyone speeds. If only a small amount of people speed, then why have the option to go up to 80, 90 MPH?
>>332644000
desu if your car's speedometer only goes up to 90, you're never actually going to hit 90 in it. You probably will struggle getting to 60.
>>332644000
the difference is that money could've been spent on other avenues to improve your computer. Also you said you might be interested, you're not the 90% of people who don't OC, don't plan to OC, and more likely don't even know you CAN OC.
>>332643675
That'd be true if enabling o/c capability was some kind of thing they intentionally had to do, just for you the aware and educated consumer.
Removing the capacity to do so is more effort, and allows them to sell you non-gimped products for more, like the beta cuck you are, because not being gimped is a feature in 2010.
The whole point of overclocking has always been to be a smarter consumer and use your own knowledge and skills to spend less money for sometimes greater result.
If they ever invent single use water bottles, you'll spend extra for re-usable bottles because it's a feature!

It's outdated as fuck; right now I'm using a PC with an i5-750, 4GB of RAM, a 5870 and no SSD. I'm not even poor I just really didn't want to upgrade until last year or so and yet all the GPU's available (and still available) were shit and I just didn't care, then the dollar in Canuckistan went to hell and I was expected to pay 30% more for the same shitty hardware I didn't want before so I've been waiting patiently for the shit coming this summer. In the end it'll pay off; I get better hardware and the dollar is recovering steadily so I'll probably pay less for it too. It also gave me some time to think about a new monitor...I almost fell for the Ultrawide meme but I think I'll steer clear of that for now.

>>332655592
Rise of the Tomb Raider has very pretty graphics. 2013 Tomb Raider too, and is supposed to be a better game.
Star Wars Battlefront is also very impressive.
MGS V is a lot of desert, so it doesn't really show off your GPU much. Witcher III is pretty but everyone has already seen it.
