If I need to game, I'll use my sony monitor at 2048x1536. I never said I wanted one for gaming, which is the only problem with 4K monitors (and some other graphics intensive tasks).


Alright, well what would you be using a 4K monitor for? If you are not gaming, you can just use the Sony monitor for normal tasks. If you are a content creator, a photographer, or someone else who might actually make use of the benefits of 4K for a production reason, then by all means go for it. If not, it isn't worth buying a 4K monitor now. Wait a few years until 1080p begins to be phased out and the next-generation resolutions begin to trickle in (8K, anyone?). By then, mid-range 4K monitors will be cheaper and better than the budget-oriented 4K monitors available now.

I assume what you're looking for is, for example, three players are playing a map and they all must stand on pressure plates for a door to open. I've made a simple door for you. The most important part is the contraption with redstone torches made of grey wool, so I made a closeup of that. You can, of course, extend the redstone lines and hide it, but I just made this as a proof-of-concept so I did not hide anything. For the future, what I made is called an AND gate (all inputs must be activated in order to receive an output)

AMD's Athlon APUs provide better graphics capabilities with a lower TDP, not to mention twice the number of cores as a Pentium. Yes, it is possible to overclock the G3258, but you would face much more of a heat dissipation problem in addition to a potential to destabilize the computer. The motherboard is cheap and no-frills. The RAM is single-stick, 8GB, which is pretty much the most you'll ever need for something like this. Memory controller is only single, so you gain no benefit by using two 4GB sticks as opposed to one 8GB stick. 1600MHz is the recommended RAM speed for the CPU. Went with a hard drive as opposed to an SSD, but there's so much extra budget room you could replace the hard drive (which has 1TB of storage that your parents will never fill up) with an SSD if you wanted. The reason I put in the hard drive is because if you want a system to last as long as possible, you will receive more reliable performance from a mechanical hard drive. An SSD, especially value-oriented ones that used TLC NAND, have only a certain number of read-write cycles per cell, leading to diminished capacity and slower function over time. This is fine for most consumers, but if this computer has the intention to be used for years on end, longer than an average desktop, you may begin to see diminished performance on an SSD as compared to a hard drive. As for the case and PSU, I got them bundled together. The PSU is not particularly great, but there is a less than 100w TDP for the entire build here so it should still be fine regardless. It's also MITX and it supports an optical drive, so there's all of your preferred things in the bag. Did I mention I also included a full copy of Windows 10 and you still come in under the price of Killertoad's build?

Yes, I realize that AMD will not be an easy upgrade path. However, LGA1150 is now a "dead" socket (no new chips are being released on it) and the 5350 will over time do a better job than the G3258.

There are other ways to get a key that are legal, but less secure than buying one from a merchant. I won't mention how, but suffice it to say a google search should bring you a list of websites.

Personally, at a $700 budget I would not recommend overclocking your CPU. You may be able to squeeze a little more performance from your CPU, but it will come at the cost of gimping your graphics card. The graphics card, however, you can overclock quite easily. The AMD R9 380 in my build beats the GTX 960 in most games, and meets it in the rest, while still being slightly cheaper. If it were up to me, though, I would buy a new GPU when AMD and nVidia release their new lines.
If I were you, this would be what I would get:

With this, you can use the integrated graphics on the 6600 for a few months until AMD and nVidia release their next line of GPUs, from then you can use the money left over in the budget and any more you've saved since then to buy one of the new, top-tier cards. They generally run around $400-$500 on release but drop quickly to around $300 for the second-best card (a better value than the best one) after a month or two.

Good luck!

This, essentially. Babylon is easy mode. Their UA is basically broken and as long as you're not playing with a difficulty that gives AI a huge advantage you will remain ahead of everyone else for the rest of the game because of that. Just build tall, keep good diplomatic relationships, manage your costs, and maintain a skeleton army of the most advanced troops possible and very few nations will choose to attack you, which paves the way to an easy victory.

While I have no problem with the majority of the games coming out now, I feel like fan-cult games (like Five Nights at Freddy's[ie's?], Slender, or Undertale) are definitely among the lower-tier games. Sure, it's nice to analyze motives in games, but these games almost pander to having people pick them up and take one look at an unfinished/hastily finished portion off the game and analyze it in incredible detail - it's not a Literature class, everyone! While some of these portions of the game may actually be incomplete as a decision by the game developer, I'm sure most were left that way or the developer spent 5 minutes more on them before calling them done, adding in a "clue" or something like that. In other words, they're a sort of form of laziness. I'm not criticizing the devs in any way, I'm just saying that these sorts of games that pander to a cult-like fanbase to drive sales and hype about potential sequels/prequels are usually not as well-done as they could be to get all that hype and a large fanbase regardless of pandering to any specific group. I realize it's hard to make a game, but I also realize it's easy to half-make a game and then add in small "clues" or other things about the game that drive people to buy it and try to investigate something that may not actually be there.

This will be a great build for what you're needing it to do. I assume you're going to play games, and the R7 360 is only slightly less powerful than the 750 Ti you had previously - plus, it has full support for DirectX 12. I also put in an FX-6300, which although it is an aging card, it will outperform any i3 (not to mention, the Haswell sockets are outdated as well, because Intel's releasing Skylake processors now - not to say they aren't still viable, but they are in the same boat as AMD's current processors). I changed the RAM out for some slightly slower RAM, but your processor wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the higher frequency in the first place, and CAS latency is more of a bragging thing than an actual performance metric (it's a difference of nanoseconds in RAM responsiveness). I also changed out the case for a different one, which should serve your needs well. It has an included 120mm fan at the rear, and I also included a 120mm fan at the front.

I wouldn't overclock this computer, simply because you're running an OKAY power supply, but not a great one - plus, you'll have only the stock cooler on the CPU.

Also, you realize that Windows has no price on the PCPP website, right? It would be somewhere in the neighborhood of £70-£90 to buy a copy of Windows from retail.

What do you mean by "hardcore gaming"? It may be possible to save you some money, depending on the computer you have. Do you have a desktop (iMac, Mac Pro) or a laptop (Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro)? Depending on the computer you already have, you may want to consider just buying a copy of Windows 10 and installing it on your Mac (there's an application called Bootcamp that does it pretty much for you). This would save you money, but only if you're planning on playing a game like Minecraft or a game built on the Source Engine (or any other game that has low hardware requirements), because your computer is probably not going to be powerful enough to play the games you want to play on it at the settings you want to play on (for example, Battlefield 4 at maximum graphics).

Play who you want to play. I would say play only Co-Op versus AI until you hit level 10 - that's when all the summoner spells (Heal, Ghost, Teleport, etc.) are unlocked and by then you'll have played between 25 and 75 games and have a feel for how it goes. I'd say just try to relax and play champions you want to play - within reason (don't try to play a champion like Ashe, a Marksman-style champion, in top lane, as usually in the top lane are tankier champions that marksmen can't deal with easily). Some easy-to-learn champions for each lane would be:

Top Lane: Garen, Amumu, Nasus, Trundle
Jungle: Stay away from this until level 10, and after that champions like Warwick, Udyr, Xin Zhao, Dr. Mundo
Middle Lane: Annie, Morgana, Lux, Kayle
Marksman (Bottom Lane): Ashe, Sivir, Tristana
Support (Bottom Lane): Soraka, Janna, Taric, Sona

Hopefully that's given you a little insight - I would start with those champions and get comfortable with some of them, because they're easy to pick up and do well with. I'm fairly new to the game myself, but I prefer tanky top lane champions and being a support, with my role changing from a passive support to an aggressive support, tanky support, and roaming support depending on how I'm feeling.

One of the biggest things I can say is that you shouldn't base your opinions of anyone from their looks alone. Sure, it's not necessary you completely determine your opinion of someone without factoring looks in, but you shouldn't think about having feelings for someone based on them being "hot". I know personally from experience that I have thought I had feelings on someone, but later realized that I grew attached to them based on mostly their looks, taking the rest of their personality not for what it was (their defining feature), but as a great addition to their looks. Once you can realize that looks mean much less than you think, you're really able to determine whether or not you have feelings for someone - assuming, of course, you take the time to really get to know them, get close to them. I'd say continue to speak with the person you think you have feelings for, but attempt to become closer to them. If they live near you, this becomes considerably easier because you can take the train/bus/walk with them for a ways, and just in general get to know them better. Then, just ask them to go somewhere informal with you, and if you feel comfortable tell them you have feelings for them and ask if they feel the same. If they don't feel the same, too bad. You're still friends. Don't try to push them unless you know they won't feel affronted, and I would say if the friend says no to having feelings for you. If the friend says they have feelings for you, ask them if they want to meet up again sometime, and talk about it further.

Hopefully I helped.

G0LD_RUSHHello, I came here a while back with like (please dont hurt me) 400 dollar budget for a good PC. x.x Don't remind me of my dumb and young dreams, anyway I'm pretty sure my old potato is about to self destruct some time soon so I got a reasonable budget! 1000 dollars max, I know the procedure so here I go!

What is this computer going to be used for?
Gaming: Minecraft and a lot of demanding games like GTA V, and things like that.
What is your budget?
$1000 USD I might go a couple hundred over.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
I live in the U.S. and can go to a Microcenter easily.
What is included in the budget?
I might separately buy the OS and monitor, but if you get me a good cheap Monitor I would love it!
Will you be overclocking?
No.
Will you be reusing any parts?
Possibly
What OS do you want?
I would want to go Windows 7 for no complications but I think Windows 10 is better.. right?
Any specific case preferences?
Mid-Tower or Full-tower with decent cable management, do not care about a side-window.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Don't let it die on me anytime soon. ;-;


Hey! Don't get yourself down - $400 is still enough to create a computer that plays games quite a bit better than a console, and would be able to play most or all older games at high-max settings playably.

I put together a build for you. It utilizes Intel's new Skylake processors, and while I see you don't want to overclock I included a quiet CPU cooler that still will give you headroom to overclock should you choose to. You cannot not buy a CPU cooler with this build - the Intel processor does not come with one. I also would get on buying that SSD today - it's a crazy steal and the deal's only around for a few hours.

Besides the advanced processor, I've also got AMD's R9 390 in the build, which gives comparable performance to nVidia's GTX 970 now and will outscale it as time goes on and optimization for DirectX 12 and Vulkan continues. I also included a good monitor and an operating system, to give you an overall idea of what the total price would be.

Just changed a few components around, figured this out. Essentially, you're never going to have your PSU running at full tilt, especially with such a highly-efficient PSU. Power supplies generally don't have very loud fans unless you're into the much lower-end models, and while I'm not sure if this one has a semi-fanless mode, it should never be anything near loud. As for coolers, I got a cheaper and more effective one for you. It is PWM I believe, so you should be able to adjust fan curves well. If you want, you can buy another one of the 140mm fans for $15 or so and link it to the included fan splitter on the cooler itself. For the RAM, I got a kit of DDR3-1600MHz RAM for cheaper than what you had previously. As for the two 200mm fans, I kept with your red theme and got cheaper ones - in the end, a dbA or two won't make a difference in terms of noise, and you can always somewhat set the fan curves of the two 200mm fans to run at lower speeds. What will matter, however, is the amount of air those fans are pushing - the higher CFM of the Cooler Master fans will mean that you'll be able to run them at lower speeds and push the same or more air than the Xigmateks you had previously.

While it isn't possible to have three people playing the game from the same account, I believe it is possible to circumvent it as long as you play on LAN (possibly running the game in Offline mode, or something?). The reason why the game is that way is because when players play online multiplayer, the game assigns the account joining the server that account's name. Having multiple of the same account trying to connect and play online at the same time would confuse the game.


That's odd you had trouble with Windows. I upgraded and it went pretty smoothly. Perhaps there was a changed setting with your computer that messed everything up? If you're up for it, I'd say try an upgrade once again. It's fairly simple, and there are plenty of tutorials online for how to get the PC up and running again if something isn't functioning correctly (you can also ask on here!). Were there specific programs that wouldn't work? If you upgraded within a week of the OS's launch, it may have been compatibility issues as not all software had been given the Windows 10 patch to optimize it for the new operating system.

If you're looking for a cheaper way to get legitimate accounts, there are services that exist that sell Minecraft CD Keys for cheaper than market value (a website called G2A is one, but I won't link it here because they've had some somewhat sketchy dealings in the past and while the site seems safe it raises some alarms in my mind). There are also people who sell pre-made Minecraft accounts for cheap (usually between $1 and $5), but this can be sketchy as well because they usually get the accounts from other players who either willingly (or unwillingly) gave their account information to the seller. Otherwise, the Mojang website or certain stores like Gamestop or Best Buy are places you can buy the game.
