PC Everything PC

[Snake Plissken]

Gotta replace my front intake to my case. I know more about PC's than most normies, but that doesn't mean I'm not retarded with them. I bought the wrong fan for it... twice. It gets really loud when it's cold out and I took it all apart and got into the front fan for the first time since I bought it and was covered in dust cake. When I had it all apart, I tested the fan by spinning it with my finger and it rattles even doing something light like that.

Ordered the correct fan last night... they delivered this morning... 5:10AM... and it's somehow been sitting on my step for 6 hours and no one stole it.

Edit new fan is smooth as butter and no noise. Only been doing it for two years.

You don't know how much of an Egyptian tomb the insides of your PC is until you see the dust that it collects over time.

Eventually I need to get a new PC as I've had my current one since 2013. It's okay for playing old games from Steam and GOG but anything recent is just not going to cut it. I need to get back and play some more SWAT 4 soon too.

Buying a new TV takes priority over anything PC for now, though.

I gotta get more ram and a new graphics card. Both fans were replaced. The PC is about three or so years old. I can’t run anything that’s come out the last couple years but old stuff is no problem.

I wanna get The Isle but I can’t run it.

The two best times to buy a TV are the week of the Superbowl and the start of March Madness. Earlier this year I picked up a 75" Sony 4K Bravia Android TV for $1800.

I just got all the stuff for a nice g@m3r PC, the only thing missing is my monitor which is delivering in like a week or 2. A crispy (hopefully) LG with an IPS panel and 120hz refresh rate.

I also ended up getting the Valve Index, so, I plan to stick to this rig for at least 5 years, last time I bought a desktop computer, or parts for it, I think it was when HL2 came out. Man I hope it's worth it.

Welcome to PC gaming.

I can't believe it can be amped up to 120 in most places.

It gives it a more realistic look. Playing a game in 30 and then 60 is night and day. It goes from studdering like motion to buttery smooth.

So what your saying is... I should have bought Jurassic World Evolution on PC. Because sometimes I do notice a lot things that look slow at times on console. I need to get a better computer.

 

[Snake Plissken]

It depends on the graphics card for that. I intend to update almost everything in mine... never did that before so I don't even know how to swap any of that stuff.

A new card is like $800 or so that I want.

 

[RavenEye]

Yeah I am complete noob when it comes to computers and knowing what piece goes where.

 

[RIDDICK]

It depends on the graphics card

+ your monitor's refresh rate
+ in-game vsync on/off

I can't believe it can be amped up to 120 in most places.

It's useless anyway without a 120Hz monitor.
And your PC should pump some major juice in order to sustain high fps without stuttering.
Unless you're an exclusively online multiplayer gamer, smoothly capped 60 fps in 4k is more than enough.

Kinda PC related but I told Comcast to fuck off and got FIOS. I don't watch TV or use my phone and FIOS is faster.

Put Counter Strike earlier and they’re spraying tags of little kids now. Fucking creeps.
