    I'd do 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6. since there are references to the original trilogy in the new trilogy. 
     
    Order of the story: 1-6 
    order of release: 4-6, 1-3

    Nice to see.
     
    Then I'd recommend this...
     
    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant   CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($152.00 @ CPL Online)  Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($68.00 @ CPL Online)  Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($59.00 @ IJK)  Storage: OCZ Trion 100 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($108.00 @ CPL Online)  Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($99.00 @ IJK)  Case: Silverstone PS09B MicroATX Mid Tower Case  ($45.00 @ Storm Computers)  Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Essential 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply  ($58.00 @ IJK)  Total: $589.00 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-12-16 17:37 AEDT+1100   I normally would say a 2TB model is a bit overkill, BUT the cheapest 1TB HDD is 70 AUD so to get 2x the storage for a mere 30 AUD more is super recommended. Also, this is something I have noticed with my own families, but most non-techies really love micro-towers over mid-towers for their compactness.

    I'll throw together my parts list, you could cut corners by no gpu, cheaper case, cheaper power supply. You can get a 600 or 650 watt EVGA off Amazon with a rebate for like $30 bucks sometimes.. I paid $80 to get the fully modular one... like I said. I paid a little bit of a premium because its for my dad and I wanted to get him something I myself would be proud of. If its just for a family friend for surfing the net then saving a couple hundred bucks is probably more along their lines of thinking. So depending on what you go with $300-650 (or cash strapped college kid) probably for a really decent mom and pop build, no idea what that equates to down under in Kangaroo land though.
    If you want I will try to get you a list in the next 30 minutes or so.

    Yea I'd personally recommend either a i3 4170 or a FX-6300 but if you get the 6300 please make sure to get a mobo with more up to date feature sets.
     
    The additional two threads actually make a huge difference in multitasking these days (even something like web browsing while watching a video or something.)
     
    After all, no half-way decent mobile chip comes without hyperthreading anymore (the new quad core i5-6xxx is literally the only exception in like 5 generations of intel chips).

    for people who are doing general computing, I usually go with an I3. they're capable chips that will have pretty long usable life. the G3258 is a powerful chip for it's price, but without overclocking it, it's not very competitive.

    Rendering is CPU based. You could get around in the programs GUI quicker though. I went with a 950 G1 gaming for $180... I could have gotten something $50 cheaper and still exceeded his needs but I wanted something that would look really good in the bulid and that card had a backplate and LEDs. For that same $180ish you could get an AMD R9 380 that would have a little bit better performance but I personally would rather have Nvidia. As long as he keeps a PC I wanted something that was really sexy and functional and will remain overkill for years to come. Total cost was around $550, I already had the cooler and ram laying around.
     
     
    For what they are doing... it doesn't sound like you even need a GPU, you could probably build one for around $300-$400.

    I bought ED when the thanksgiving sale was up, and for $17 it was fucking amazing. I've kinda gotten a little out of it, but once you get over the learning curve it's an amazing game. Except now I'm a little bummed that they want another $80 for Horizons.

    I just built one for a Christmas gift to my dad for CAD work, it definitely can handle web browsing. I have yet to overclock it but even at stock clocks it can handle and is actually overkill for anything I have thrown at it, including the CAD.

    XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Matt420740 in Low CPU usage while gaming and GPU driver crashes   
    Doesn't sound like a driver issue to me.  Sounds like a hardware issue.  Probably with the GPU if you only experience it after launching a game.
     
    You mentioned OCing the CPU.  I'd stick with factory settings on everything until you isolate the issue and get it stable, then OC.   And the CPU only using around 70% or so most of the time is a good thing, it means you got processing power left to spare if needed.

    cant you just start them both at the same time? it should be a 125/125 split in the begining, and then steam should get 250KBps when origin is done downloading
    In theory it should take the same ammount of time
     
    BTW you should refund worms armagedon and get it here instead

    you get a few other games aswell, for only 1 euro if you pay the lowest price

    Hey!
    I've just bought some games at the Steam Sale (Tomb Raider, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Rocket League, Worms Armageddon. Goat Simulator, Broforce) and also Star Wars Battlefront on Origin.
    Is there any download manager, where I can go like: when the current Steam downloads are finished --> start downloading Battlefront on Origin?
    I want to download over night! (250KBps ftw) Or at least start downloading. 
    Thanks in advance!
