good news everyjuan
it looks like i'll be able to get that PC before my basudei so like 2 months and I should have it all ready e.e
I tried to play shogun 2 today. It took 30 minutes to load then crashed before getting to the title screen ;-;
how much are you looking to spend on it?
well
last night when i was thoroughly braindead i was looking over a website, logicalincrements and their rough benchmark stuff for what to expect for games with what hardware
so I *think* about £800 should cover it nicely for the foreseeable future, that'd do stuff like Fallout 4 and GTA 5 on extranoice graphics at around 60fps so that'd do me nicely. as for what bits I'd actually stick into the machine, i'll need sep7agooks to help me figure that one out a bit later <_<
You, Goots and I need to have some sort of three-way campaign.
Dibs on Bretonnia
tfw no bretonnia campaign at launch only custom skirmish
something to do with sega limiting them to 4 factions and then 1 for pre order
...wait what.
FUCKING
WHAT
think they are being added properly later on as FreeLC
That's...that's still dumb.
Fine, dibs Vampire Counts. I'll turn your imperial Legions against you <.<
You can try, but I'm gonna deck my army out with the most god-bothering, holier than thou, fanatical screaming priests.

I would swap 2 things. Motherboard would be Gigabyte brand instead of Asus and I'd swap MSI with Nvidia personally. Otherwise you have a pretty decent setup.
I'm quite fine with any switches, whatever ends up with a better PC at the end of it.
What would be the difference between an MSI and a Nvidia 970? I thought it was all nvidia anyway?
Okay there is a mishap on my part. I mean EVGA for the long run since MSI is also an Nvidia series. Apparently EVGA has better aftermarket support. Mine is an EVGA Nvidia 550ti.
I'll leave this up to you to decide since some say MSI is better than EVGA and vice versa.

As for the motherboard, I do recommend Gigabyte, but I haven't used Asus, in fact I've never even heard of that brand of a motherboard, but I'm biased so... 
EVGA cards are usually more expensive, and they do supposedly have better customer support
that said you'll only really need customer support if there's something wrong with your card
I'm also surprised you haven't heard of ASUS, they're a pretty big name for laptops, GPUs and motherboards especially, and they're pretty high up on customer support ratings
other than that no GPU will be particularly different from any reseller, ASUS, Palit, Zotac, EVGA, Gigabyte, they'll all perform identical
also have a look at the GPU coolers if you're not planning to have any watercooling (which is probably not suitable for your budget), you'll either get a blower or open-air, open-air is generally quieter and better at keeping your GPU cool, blowers are usually loud but overall the computer will be cooler on the inside as it also acts as an outtake
A GPU cooler in addition to the standard fan?

Oh, in regards to RAM. If you're going for 16GB, get two 8GB sticks. It'll be a bit better for the same reasons as the hard drive thing.
Yeah that would have been my intention, the corsair 16gb pack (2x8gb) seems to be pretty highly reviewed across the board. Is that a good one to go for?
ram across all manufacturers pretty much perform the same within the same speed bracket
also you might have to choose between DDR4 and DDR3 since skylake is in the picture now, they don't officially support DDR3 but some motherboard manufacturers say they do
intel themselves have said it's not recommended to use DDR3 on a skylake motherboard but its upto you, i havent seen any big problems with people using it yet
Skylake? again I'm quite open to whatever components will work best, if DDR4 is better and the price difference is reasonable then I'm happy to go for that.

just as important as your sound.
no, like seriously no. i doubt psy is a huge music enthusiast, the motherboards on-board sound shall suffice
^ I use £3 earphones plugged into a phone for music on the go I use a £20 headset for music/games at the PC and it's pretty much always music from jewtube at 360p so yeah, fancy sound is not a priority for me whatsoever

I'll have a look at them, thanks I literally picked asus because it's part of a cheat code in age of mythology (maybe empires idk) and because i figured i'd need one of them for compatibility checks lol Gigabyte is fine by me

There's a site called PC part picker or somethin like that where you can get your builds and lists together so you can plan it, cant get the link so I'm on mobile but a google search on the name should bring it up. It's pretty 👌

I don't think 16gb is worth it. You're better off spending extra on the graphics card.
looking at it, it's about £60 for 16gb and half that for 8
£30 isn't really gonna make a big jump on a graphics card, because the model above the one I looked at (I think) goes up by a hundred and something

£800 for just the machine is p great fam.
i dunno about motherboards but you're obviously playing total war so get at least an i7 cpu and a 970 gpu, you can get them in the low £200 if you jew around a little. 16gb ram is enough too
yeah i mean it's gonna clean me out for a while but I think it'll be worth it e.e
quick look on newegg shows about £220 for the 970 and £240 for the i7 which seems reasonable, iirc the GPU/CPU are the really expensive bits of a computer
that'd leave about £350 for er case, psu, motherboard and the ram right?
yeah i think you might be able to squeeze the rest into that. i have a laptop and with it's cpu, gpu and 12gb ram i get 59fps solid on shogun 2 at very high 1080p.
also see if you can get a small SSD for the OS that'l help a lot, then for everything else a normal hard drive is fine
I mean I can go over that if I need to, but that'd probably mean delaying it by a few weeks, if I hold off for say a month I could bump it up to £1k (ish) but I'd kinda prefer to be able to buy games for it when it's built you know >_>
yeah tru tru, i mean from what i've been searching an i5 could do well but i guess wait for some other opinions, you could squeeze in everything to 350
what would be the other stuff I'd need to get
i'm sure i'm missing something but
CPU
GPU
RAM
Motherboard
HDD/SSD
Case
PSU
or does that cover it?
Cooling. CPU Fan, regular fan, heat sinks, watercooling (depending on what you want). Don't want your shit to melt.
Ah yeah, which would be the most efficient? and which would be easiest to clean for dust because this house is a bit prone to it.
Watercooling you'd have to clean the filters every now and then. Fans I don't think you'd have to do much. I don't rrally know much about that aspect so you'd be best off asking someone else.
might just go with a fan then the problem with my laptop is I can't really open it up to clean it out so I guess that's less of a problem with a tower

2 way SLI on your GPUs would be a good idea to balance out the load if one GPU starts handling most of the data. Presuming you go for two graphics cards.
Otherwise, 16GB RAM would be better as two 8GB cards.
Get a smaller SSD and a larger HDD so you can have your OS on the SSD and your files on the HDD. Best of both worlds.
Your CPU will probably want around 4GHz speed. Elsewise, you're best off looking at what games you want to play now (IE Battlefield, Fallout, etc (I'm assuming)) and use them as a baseline for your specs.
Going by the amount of whining I hear from mustard ricers about SLI not being supported for games properly, I doubt I'll bother with that.
What would be the benefits to sticking the OS on an SSD?
It's only relevant if you get two GPUs. With only one, you don't need it. I'd get two regardless if you can.
SSDs are a lot faster than disks. If you use it for the OS, your computer performs faster but you store files on a HDD because you get more storage space for the same price.
Plus, retrieving two files from two drives is a lot better than two files from one drive, anyway.
Only thing is I'd rather get one really good card than spend more getting two average ones. I straight up can't afford to buy two good GPUs so I'm just gonna rule out SLI. I'll get one of them then, a faster responding OS would be nice.

as a general rule of thumb, you should spend about 35% of your budget on a good sound card
Isn't audio normally integrated anyway? I'm not a big audiophile so I doubt I could stomach blowing £200+ on a sound card.
no, it's incredibly important that you spend as much money as possible on the sound card.
okay i've just bought a £600 sound card off ebay

In about two months I want to be putting together a PC, assembling it and all that won't be an issue because family of techpriests and all that but in terms of picking out the good things to go for, I imagine some of you lot will have a better idea of what's a good component etc.
I'm not going for a budget build because I'd like it to actually still run games in a few years time and not just become obsolete by the time I turn it on so as a guideline i'd say around $1k (£800) is what I'd be spending. I don't need a monitor either, or accessories it's just the machine itself.
I'd also like to stick with Intel/Nvidia because that's what I currently have, other than that I'm starting from a blank slate pretty much.
Any recommendations? and is it worth just going for 16GB RAM now anyway?

it looks like i'll be able to get that PC before my basudei so like 2 months and I should have it all ready e.e
I tried to play shogun 2 today. It took 30 minutes to load then crashed before getting to the title screen ;-;
how much are you looking to spend on it?
well last night when i was thoroughly braindead i was looking over a website, logicalincrements and their rough benchmark stuff for what to expect for games with what hardware so I *think* about £800 should cover it nicely for the foreseeable future, that'd do stuff like Fallout 4 and GTA 5 on extranoice graphics at around 60fps so that'd do me nicely. as for what bits I'd actually stick into the machine, i'll need sep7agooks to help me figure that one out a bit later <_<
