Well, pedals are pretty useful in a racing game, i play them with my feet

and hands...

What are you using your machine for? What motherboard do you own?

I'm sorry for being that guy that isn't much of a help, but... playing Minecraft with a controller is about as nice as playing a racing game with your fucking feet

So open headphones and then a mic?

Yep! Prefferably headphones that sound good in whatever genre

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

A friend of mine is looking for some headphones for gaming and multiple genres of music (he listens to basically anything), prefferably under a budget (€100 at an absolute maximum, lower is preffered).

Open acoustics and microphone are preffered, yet not too much compromises on audio quality.

Thanks in advance!

Not bad!

In my opinion, C'Thun is a bit too RNG for me. I don't like putting my game in the hands of a single line of code that's being repeated. But of course, as in your case, it can end very infuriating for the other person. Nicely done!

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

I'm currently looking into Adafruits products, which seems to all look amazing. Yet, a lot of people are very critical about their customer support, warranty... which is important for me, since I live overseas. So what are your experiences?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

I'm looking for a proper way to convert videos to ogg / ogv (with video). Using most convertors, either the framerate our the quality drops massively. Is there no way to correctly do this?

(Tried FFMPEG, Miro, and Any Video Converter)

Thanks in advance!

I unfortunately would probably take a long time to get enough money for that and I would really like a PC ASAP.

 

And also I am pretty sure that you just told me to buy a PSU from a well known manufacturer like XFX and are now suggesting a make I have not heard of before.

(That was me)

I was giving examples. There's a multitude of good models and brands out there. Do your research.

Oh boy

Corsair is good for PSU's. If you give them enough money that is. Their cheaper models WORK, yet, their boundaries are way lower then others. Too much stress and bam, you're boned. On the other hand, in certain/most situations, you should be fine.

Read the above for reference on Corsair's CX(M) series!

If you plan to upgrade to i5, I would suggest to plainly wait. Skyrim is more CPU intensive iirc, and believe me, with my second generation mobile i5 (second generation), it's not a dream to run. At all. If you have the choice, save up for an i5.

Also, do you plan to overclock your i5?

I suggest going with and AMD CPU if you're on this tight of a budget.

And if you say "Intel Master Race", no. Unless you plan on upgrading to i5 or an i7 pretty soon (which will be easier with the i3's mobo), you should go AMD.

I'm also going to be that guy and say watch out with cheap Corsair power supplies. See if there's more reliable stuff (EVGA, XFX...) avaiable at the same price range.

Also, budget and build uses if you want better suggestions.

(If gaming, tell us which is the heaviest game you want to run. A League Of Legends machine is not the same as a Crysis 3 machine)

I think they mean that you need to finish the comments, since they're not full sentences

By headset I meant attached mic (dyi or other) and headphones.

For the headphones, if your genre is around the rock/classical range, the HD558's are worth a look. When it comes to microphones, the ModMic (though compatibility issues have been reported w/ the 558's iirc), the Samson Meteor is good for the more budget yet great quality range. For anything above the Meteor, Blue is a company that's worth a look.

Personally, no headset. As you said, a seperate mic / mod mic + proper headphones are recommended.

Personally, I love the Sennheisser HD 588. The clarity, comfort and sound quality are like no other. Do note that the bass is lacking for electronic music, so if you like that kind of stuff, stay away from them

OP, don't listen to bullcrap. Listen to the majority of us, most of us know their shit. Besides some people here.

Basically, there is no card that can run Ark. Ark is worse then the optimizations of Warner Bros and Ubisoft. A 380 will probably run it flawlessly once it gets optimized. 960 isn't bad, yet not very good value when compared to the GTX 950 and R9 390

How to indentify a great product:

McAfee is worthless. For free I recommend Avast!, which works amazing and protected me so many times, even from malicious advertisements. For a paid antivirus I like Kaspersky a lot, since it really takes EVERYTHING into account, while leaving you a lot of freedom. There's even a gaming mode in Kaspersky, which allows you to turn of it's notifications during fullscreen gaming sessions.

Have you tried underclocking?

Not meaning to be rude @jamesclarky, but proper formatting would be nice next time

To answer your question:

The i5-6500 will beat the i5-4460 slightly

And the i5-4460 will beat the i3-6100 by far.

So if the 6500 is reasonably priced, go for it. If it's giganticly more then the 4460, then the 4460 will suffice.

You got scammed, sorry.

I'm building a new mid-level gaming PC from scratch, and would like to start a discussion about Skylake vs Haswell for a new build. Budget is under $1000, less is welcome. 

 

My thoughts are: an i5-6600k and just spend the extra $75-100 on DDR4 and a Z170 motherboard? 

 

Or, save some money with an i5-4690k (or a lower-end Haswell) and older components? 

 

I posted earlier about this (and thanks to those of you who sent me build ideas!), but I feel like I gave too much information.

Mostly just looking to hear some rationale about what other people would choose for a new build.

Skylake is made for overclocking, yet, you pay the premium for it. In a budget build, I would stick with Devil's Canyon (Like the 4690K). Especially since those bucks are better spend on a reliable power supply, or a better graphics card. Remember that people are still happily using their 2nd generation Intel's to this date.

Well your assuming I'm thinking of doing this in a laptop. Ever seen one of these?

If you mentioned that before, I would have thought of you as a genius instead of a psycho O_o

Yeah, in this case, give it a shot!
