Really wish I hadn't looked up your username on Urban Dictionary.

I had more fun with this tonight, after I asked some random person who appeared to be playing the same mission as me to join me. The endless firefights aren't nearly as overbearing when you're playing with someone else.

So it's tied for the title of worst game you own, then.

Woah, woah. I'm not made of money. :p

Maybe you should create a thread for him, then.

Okay, I'll stick with the 280x. The box is a nicer color, anyway. Now I just have to wait until my power supply arrives, since the post office decided to send it on a detour to the wrong address.

So my brother just had to go and ruin this by buying a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X graphics card the moment he saw that I was building a new computer. Obviously this is bothering me a lot. Is it worth upgrading from my measly Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Dual-X card before I start putting this thing together or should I stick with what I have, safe in the knowledge that my computer will be much better than his anyway (the rest of his components are about two years old)?

I'm MrMcMagnus on the PS4 if anyone wants to play this weekend. I'm a whopping level 4, so I'm really good at the game.

Why? Bungie's been developing games for the 360 for seven years and the PS3 architecture is completely different.

Cube is right that you should get the game on whichever platform your friends are getting it on (so... PS4? :p), but failing that, Bungie has a lot more experience with the 360, so that version is supposed to look a lot better.

Yeah, try not to say Mike's name by mistake.

That's crazy. Everyone knows that's not what future Ted sounds like.

At least ReZ is still with us!

It's like buying a car. It depends on which color you prefer.

Yeah, the opposite of the one you'd go for...

Well, I do want to outdo Shorty... But yeah, £30 isn't a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, so I'll probably go with the thing you said. The i something something k or whatever. @MoogleViper, okay, assume I'm going with Bard's recommendation - which motherboard should I buy? I thought I'd be able to find one based on what you said, but there are too many and I don't know what the difference is between them other than the price.

It would be hilarious if, after not localizing the last five Dragon Quest games, they decide to bring this over.

Thanks, I will keep all of that in mind.

"Buy two cards! Actually, don't buy two cards." :p Is that what you have? Do you really find it makes that big of a difference? I'm not sure Final Fantasy II and House of Cards really require a screen each, but my options for doing two things at once have been pretty limited so far, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing. Erm, whatever's reasonable? I read somewhere that a larger monitor just means the picture gets more stretched, so I don't know.

Is it worth the extra expense, though? Also, any screen suggestions? I saw one for £700 or so the other day, but that seemed like overkill.

Okay, that makes sense. Are there any parts that are worth upgrading if I'm willing to spend a bit more money, or will it not be worth the cost?

Speaking of cooling, am I fine with whatever's included in the parts you listed? I just assumed I'd need more, but maybe that's not the case.

That's what I like to hear. Though I will have to spend some money on a a screen and a keyboard and all that stuff, too. An operating would be nice... I guess. I figured I'd build it myself, because it can't be that hard, right? ... Right? No idea how to pick a case. I worry about not being able to fit everything inside.

I finally have the money to build the computer of my dreams, so I looked around a bit and realized that I have no idea what I'm doing whatsoever. All I know is that I need something to play games on that isn't this hunk of junk laptop (What's that? You're trying to grind in Shin Megami Tensei on an emulator while watching Orange is the New Black? Hahaha. *FPS drops to single digits in Shin Megami Tensei and the screen freezes in Orange is the New Black*). I'm looking to spend, erm... whatever's reasonable? £1,000-1,500 or something. I assume that should cover everything I'll need.

That's very strange. I think this demands a long (and thorough) explanation.
