Official MMOC Hunger Games thread 4

[Deleted]

When you've gone a little overboard and created a €1.728,- pc build. To press or not to press buy, that's the question.

Soooo, Rich we gonna play tonight?

I run games on Wednesdays and Thursdays, they take so long to set up and run that it is easy to get burned out doing more.

Yeah, we don't want to overdo it. I do need my victory though.

That's only about 100 euro more than mine.. And you probably have a better GPU D:

This case looks so awesome!

Mine cost like 2.500€ or so when I bought it three years back. Mostly because the GPU cost like 950€, though.
In the end, there is not much wrong with it if you use your computer a lot - and can afford it.

Yeah, I think so too. I just know that it can be cheaper but I'm going for some nice aesthetics on this build as well.

I usually try to justify buying by saying my drone and phone are also pretty damn expensive. It doesn't really make sense but I need mah toys.

Did you buy a Titan, or does Austria just have inflated part prices?

Nah, that's just her admitting she loves me.

And that is literally the sexiest case ever.. I want it so much ;_;

Nah, everyone but you hate me <3

I bought a Titan, because the one I initially wanted wasn't available - and because I was, like, full-on #yolo in that moment. ;3

Probably both

I'm sorry Pendra.. Not even you are allowed to say "#yolo" like that. Please apologize

ikr? I haven't had to skip pages in SO LONG. THE EU FOLK ROSE AGAIN.

You can't do that. D:

I'm sorry Pendra.. Not even you are allowed to say "#yolo" like that. Please apologize

But I thought I used it in a way that was not-serious enough. If not, I am sorry.

A bit of a waste of money since the Ti cards tend to be just as good for gaming, but if those were out the stock and you had the money to spare, then I agree with your decision of "fuck it"

Probably both

Actually, that's about par for the course for a Titan.

I'm sorry Pendra.. Not even you are allowed to say "#yolo" like that. Please apologize

No, I'm pretty sure #yolo is the appropriate mentality for that purchase.

Mine was in the same ballpark a few years ago, and it's still maxing out games like witcher 3 at 1440p.

I think it's better to splurge and just go high end, and stick with the same setup for longer instead of incremental upgrades. It'll play everything up until 2020 at the very least.

Yeah. They only had the Titan and one that was quite a bit worse; would have had to wait for a while for comparable ones - and couldn't be bothered.
Would I do it again nowadays? Probably not. But hey, it was fun while it lasted.

I'm still not sure if I should just pick the 1080 and the i7-6700k. The motherboard and cooler is still up for debate, I would like a AIO cooler since a big air cooler blocks other components from being visible and a custom liquid system is too expensive. The motherboard was red and had some nice features but I might just see if something else is out there. I usually start searching for a case and then quickly throw some stuff together and fine tune it later on.

I have another ssd laying around and it's weird but some products don't have prices if you select US. Taxes in the Netherlands are no joke though. a 1070 is going for €530+ and the 1080 for €800+

[Amirila]

Yep, you're like my little brother. I may tease you but deep down I love you anyway

I don't know. Titans are too expensive for me to look at

Nope. Was not. The appropriate mentality is "No such thing as overkill"

Fucking casual with a 1070. My GPU is better than that! (If only slightly)
If you're going to go with a 10X0 serious GPU, go with a 1080. CPU doesn't matter too much for games though, so don't worry about it too much. Unless of course you do CPU bound stuff on it.

Eh, better than being the asshole neighbour you're forced to play with

Oh. Okay, I am sorry then.

And let's be honest: It was overkill. I am running a single-monitor setup and didn't play anything but WoW at this point. It was just the definition of an impulse purchase.
