    Here's where the complaining about a future shooter comes from:
     
    It all started some years ago..
    Call of Duty MW3 - the last "modern" shooter. No future.
    Bo2 - futuristic game.
    Ghosts - futuristic game.
    Bo3 - futuristic game.
    Advanced Warfare - futuristic game.
    Infinite Warfare - futuristic game.
     
    5 future shooters in a row. Fans are tired of it. It's still CoD, so people will buy the steaming crap anyways, and it'll just be "another CoD game." They've never done the exact same game 5 times in a row. There was MW, then WaW, then MW2, then BO, then MW3. Variety. All nearly the exact same game, but still variety. There's no variety anymore, just futuristic games that all look and play the same (except AW, which has wall running.)
     
    Then again, it's really just Call of Duty. So who cares?

    You answered your own question. 

    EDIT: As for the "CoD 4 remastered only", the trailer really doesn't make it clear whether CoD 4 Remastered is going to be available on its own, or only with the legacy edition of Infinite Warfare. If they only include it with the legacy edition, then people are right to be pissed off. It's a way for them to make more money in that case, as well as avoiding crippling their own sales like it would if they released them at the same time, but individually.

    Whats up everyone? So the i5 4690k and Z87 motherboard was great and all but I wanted to downsize my rig as well as find a way to buy a i7 for my content creation including streaming to Twitch and YouTube. So I scraped part of the build here http://pcpartpicker.com/b/6qCypg and went along another month long search for parts.
     
    Parts I bought
    i7 3770s CPU, Asus P8H67M-PRO,8GB 1600 mhz,Thermaltake Core V21 case.
     
    The Asus GTX 770 GPU was a gift from my older brother and replaced a R9 270 hence the color mismatch.
     
    i7 3770s CPU 
    I bought this i7 3770s for the same price as the i5 4690k. Considering I am using the OBS software for both YouTube videos and livestreaming etc; the i7 would benefit me more in the long run even though the i5 haswell would have done the job well for most people. This is the low power variant of the cpu but I have no problems with that.
     
    Mobo 
    1155 motherboards especially in the micro and mini itx variants with the z series chipset has made it super hard to find the board with the right features I needed. Took me over month as the first motherboard I bought was a Gigabyte board but caused me so many problems I returned it back to the seller(more about this soon). Ended up with this Asus board who has USB 3.0 but only at the back hence the front panel adapter.
     
    Ram 
    Probably my worst decision after thinking my 2400mhz Gskill ares series ram with blue heat spreaders was the main issue in the gigabyte board. Turns out that Gigabyte board refused to boot my SDD in AHCI mode even before I tried to install windows. But this EVGA ram seems like some else made the ram and EVGA just place their sticker on it to make it look nice but it works fine as I just traded ram with a hardwareswapper instead. Need to upgrade back to 16GB Ram as well possibly in the summer. 
     
    Case 
    Welp probably the most unnecessary item here considering my Corsair 200R was an absolute beast of a case. But downsizing to a cube case is fine with me. I finally have a window for the first time on a case as well. Cable management is something I will need to work on even in its limited space. Will keep the stock 200mm fan for now and look at temps and see if I need to replace it with my other 2 120mm sp 120 fans.
     
    TL DR: Downsized my rig to a cube case, moved from a Haswell i5 to Ivy bridge i7 for content creation, 16GB to 8GB due to what I thought was incompatibly but was just a Gigabyte BIOS problem. LGA 1155 micro atx and mini itx boards are hard to find these days and took me over a month to find the one with options. GPU was a gift from my older brother and replaced a R9 270
     
    P.S I also made a video using PCSX2 and trying various PS2 games at various resolutions over the native PS2 resolution. Also since I will be streaming the i7 with its hyperthreading will help me out as well.

    DiamondRyce got a reaction from Boobies Sprinkle in Asus P8H67-M Pro motherboard   
    Basically I bought this board used but I am getting this motherboard tomorrow but have some dumb questions about the motherboard
     
    https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H67M_PRO/specifications/
     
    1) Motherboard has usb 3,0 ports on the back but there is no usb 3.0 front panel header to plug my Thermaltake Core V21 front panel usb ports. If I buy a usb 3,0 to 2.0 header adapter, my front panel usb ports will work but only at usb 2.0 speeds correct? 
     
    2) I have 8GB 1600mhz DDR3 ram and a I7 3770s cpu. Even though my cpu supports 1600mhz, I am limited to 1333mhz due to the motherboard as its XMP supports 1333mhz only?

    As much as I like the Air 240. Its out of my budget. After buying a i7 3770s and B75 micro atx board. I have around $50-60 USD left for a case. 
     
    I do have Jet.com for 15% any order so if a case is on there I might pick one up from there. 
     
    So far I keep going back the Thermaltake Core V21 case but I am open to other suggestions.

    DiamondRyce reacted to TheSLSAMG in Upgrading a GTX 550ti to What? Or Upgrade Ram   
    The RAM sounds like the most worthwhile upgrade so far. GTA V's minimum requirements state a Core 2 Quad or Phenom X4 with 4GB RAM and an HD4870 (which is slower than the GTX 550 Ti.) With that, get another 4GB DIMM and you should be fine.

    DiamondRyce got a reaction from D3MON in AMD or Intel. Who did you choose?   
    There is no bias for me. I love both companies as I try to tailor the system to what it needs. Got a FX 6300 as my main rig and i3 3240 as a family/office pc to use. My main rig is primarily gaming but I also live stream to Twitch and make YouTube videos when I can. For the price of $100 when I got the fx 6300, I got no complaints. It has more than enough power for what I need it to do.
     
    As for the i3 I bought for the family pc, I needed it to power efficient and quiet overall to the system. Plus It was a upgrade from a Celeron G540 so I didnt want to buy another motherboard.

    So I was playing CS:GO today. I was playing like normal until this happened. I don't know what happened before as it was just the beginning of the round. I think it was an enemy smoke grenade but could have been a teamates as well. I could only look around as I couldnt jump out of it.
     
    Thoughts if its a new glitch or if its old? First time it happened to me.
