  1. I would definitely recommend and endorse investing in a Blue Snowball or something similar. The mic quality is fantastic, and they can be had for as little as $30 now. The tri-pod it comes with is also a nice touch, and the multiple audio patterns really helps to configure it best to fit your setup. If you don't wish to spend $30-50, then I'd recommend you get something like the Zalman Zm-Mic from Amazon. It's an $8 clip-on microphone that sounds fantastic for the price, but the only caveat is that it's a low-sensitivity mic, so you have to boost the gain on it really high, resulting in a lot of background noise.

    Fallout

    Fallout 3 offered me a lot more content than I ever got out of Fallout 4. Plus, the modding community is much larger, and the game will run on a wider variety of hardware. I wouldn't pick up Fallout 4 unless you can score it for $30 or less. That being said, you should also consider picking up Fallout: New Vegas. Although I think Fallout 3 is a better game, a lot of people really came to love New Vegas, and as such there's a larger variety of mods, and objectively from a gameplay point of view, New Vegas fixes a lot of 3's mistakes.
  3. What server do you mainly play on? I just got into Challenger in Solo Duels playing on NA-W and NA-E. I'd like to have a partner for Doubles, as that would be cool.
  4. The MSI B150I GAMING PRO AC looks to be exactly what you're after!
  5. Within thirty days of release, we'll have third-party cards on the market. It's likely to be within the first two weeks, even.
  6. The Phanteks Enthoo Pro is one of the nicest cases you can buy in that price range. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, consider something more along the lines of the Fractal Design Define S? I see you've shown interest in the Enthoo Pro in your original post, and it being on your mind is already a great sign, as it is a wonderful case that I feel you would not be disappointed with whatever. Otherwise, if you want something a little more quiet, both in the figurative and literal sense, I highly recommend the Define S.
  7. It being an OEM device just means you'll get no warranty, and likely some secondhand packaging. That has nothing to do with the playback of movies on the device, though you will need software for it.
  8. The sound design in this was terrible, and the cinematography was sub-par at best. It honestly looks like it's going to be a little cringe-worthy.
  9. https://gifsound.com/?gifv=3AzYGPR&v=G0C16INGmwc&s=88 You're welcome.
  10. It's not unrealistic for people to upload videos, and then publish them as "Private" or "Unlisted." What could have occurred is that during the video upload, whoever was uploading it accidentally hit publish before setting the dropdown menu to Private instead of Public.
  11. For running the CPU at stock, it does a fine job. It's a little noisy, but it will work okay. If you're looking for an affordable aftermarket cooler though, one that will work better and be quieter, look no further than the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
  12. I can only speak on behalf of the pair I own in terms of closed-back headphones. The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x sound wonderful, but their sound signature is very flat, as they are supposed to be. Don't expect a warm signature, but instead "what the artist intended". Just imagine wearing them while they're recording it in the studio, essentially. I'd also recommend picking up some aftermarket velour pads, as the pleather pads can get uncomfortable fairly easily. One nice inclusion though is the leather pouch they give you with multiple cables.
  13. Yeah, my card runs at 75c. You're more than fine, don't worry.
  14. It appears to be a poorly-designed website, and it's not responding to the different resolutions. Poor design on their behalf, is my best guess.
  15. The lifespan of a piece of hardware depends on its heat output, not how much it's being used. (Aside from mechanical things like hard drives.) As long as you're not hitting a ceiling of 95c during gaming, the lifespan of your card will be just as long as any other.
  16. A single 390x is going to give you the most consistent performance, as not everything plays nicely with SLi or Crossfire.
  17. One looks to be a wide mouse mat, while the other is still retaining the square design.
  18. "clr_cmos" means "Clear CMOS." It essentially clears your BIOS of any custom settings.
  19. I honestly have no idea. Could take two minutes, could take thirty. I've never had to do it, personally. Just know that there's no harm in letting it go.
  20. Because, unlike GPUs with dual BIOS for overclocking, your board has it as a backup. So it's a failsafe. I'm suggesting leaving it in boot loop to initiate a recovery.
  21. You were attempting to flash your BIOS in an attempt to fix your issue. You did so through software on Windows, instead of on the board itself through the Flash Utility in your BIOS. During this, your PC crashed, and your BIOS became corrupted, throwing your PC into a boot loop. If your board has a physical switch on it for the dual BIOS, switch it. However, my limited research returned no such results for something of the like on your board. If it does, switch it. If it doesn't, let it boot loop for awhile and see if anything happens.
  22. I believe there is a setting to enable that in the Logitech Gaming Software.
  23. Alright, so it appears your board has Gigabyte's dualBios via UEFI, and not a physical switch on the board. The only thing I can suggest is letting it boot loop and see if it recovers eventually. Otherwise, you might want to consider a new board.
  24. What motherboard is it? Edit: Got it. Give me a moment.
