    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Meh, people hate on this game but whatever. Probably the most fun I had in a game since like EQ or WoW in the sher time I spent in it. Their biggest mistake IMO was catering to old ass consoles at the start, thus basically hamstringing themselves into shitty core design of this game. That and...

    Plus he does most of his gaming on xbox anyway. I think hes just jelly and rustled that the young one got a pc and he didnt. But the younger dude does his streaming and shit and actually uses it. I have another system right now an i5 4670K or whatever it was, 4th or 5th gen? that I use for...

    Thanks @Mist Yeah thats what I was kind of leaning to. I can always drop the extra $350-$500 later on, like next year to upgrade it fully for him. It also needs a new SSD, since the one inside there is like a first gen crucial 120gig, I would like to upgrade that as well with something newer.

    Reliability, performance, protection. Although, myself, I would not spend more than $100 for a PS. There are many around $100 that are great and reliable. Ive had many over the years, and only one cheap one that failed me, but this was back int he Pentium 4 days. I think all 3 of my systems...

    Nahh. This kid of proves that Intel is still king for gaming and they probably always will. The per core performance is just better than AMD can muster. And that is like the core/heart of your system, something you dont scrimp on. I would buy better proc/mobo with a $200 RX480 over that shit...

    Not sure about 'best" but I have built like 4 systems since my 2500K (which is still purring along @4.5Ghz), last one being last year for my 12 yr old, a 6600K with MSI board. I just stick to the $130ish boards from Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, or MSI. None of those have ever really failed me. You...

    I see it as a marketing problem. AMD keeps on marketing these workstation workhorses, which they do really well at, as gaming performers, which they are really shitty at. And I would peg gaming segment really small compared to the amount of servers, workstations for data processing and rendering...

    Hes saying if you really need a workstation type CPU, then cost is irrelevant? And if you just want a workstation CPU on a budget then Ryzen is good value. Which makes sense I guess.

    Because it destroys Intell procs that are double their price in everything other than gaming? So if gaming and gaming alone is why you buy PC, then go Intel If you do other shit on computer other than gaming, AMD is hard to beat. AMD Ryzen Review: Ryzen 7 1800X & 1700X Put to the Test...

    Yeah, but micro center, while using procs to get people through the door and buy more shit, dont usually price the stuff stupidly either, its probably like $10 over what they pay for them. I highly doubt they are losing money and pricing these things now, to only lose more.

    Yeah even back in like 2005 and WoW, And im sure in EQ and UO too before that, you would have corpse campers camp your corpse for fucking hours, for no other reason just to grief your ass and make you cry and quit.

    Which is a horrible idea in any "persistent" type game. I mean, could you imagine 2K people building and destroying shit in an mmo and think how this world would look after a week, let alone a few years? So you then have to reset everything after a certain time, which makes everything about...

    McQuaid always called new servers "shards", this has nothing to do with instancing. This is back from like the days of UO and shit when they were called shards, not servers. Because the terrm server is misleading too, since most servers are server clusters and shit anyways.

    Still, if those are real, comparing a $500 proc to a $1K proc and getting better/samey results is still fucking nice for AMD which has not even come close in many generations.
