  1. Yeah pretty much, but I wanted to see if I could do so for a reasonable price rather than pay a good chunk of change I don't have on a proper setup
  2. So I want to buy a home theater receiver, and connect my current soundbar and desktop speakers to said receiver for a 4.1 type of set up (or get a 5th speaker to make a more proper 5.1 setup). I get that it's probably a stupid plan, but it's what I currently have access to. Is this even possible? I know it would be better to just buy a proper sound system, but I don't have the budget for a good setup, and this idea would probably be better than my current setup of both of these connected to a 3.5mm Male to 2x3.5mm female splitter cable. (My soundbar is a LG NB2540, and my desktop speakers are Logitech Z-4I's)
  3. I did actually follow my topic << I just forgot to do it immediately.. Never tried Rocket League.... It looks like it would be fairly hard, at the very least, to play using a wheel.
  4. The wheel is really nice.. But I don't really have many games that would be good for it. Now of course, I know racing wheels are built for racing sims, so I imagine most would suggest some racing sims.. which i do want, of course... However, they aren't the thing I'm really looking for. I do want racing sims that are really good games, or fairly good games for a cheap price. Nevertheless, I much prefer arcade racing games, and would like a racing game that would work well with a wheel, but is more arcade-ey in how the game controls. The last type of game I would really like (though I'm not sure it necessarily exists), is a game that would let me explore an area (like wildlife) and includes force feedback in it, cause I believe that would be something fun to try. Any game recommendations would be appreciated, but I would definitely like recommendations more-so in the two latter categories.
  5. .....and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it, and would like some suggestions or tips. The SSD itself is small, having 128gb of memory. What I would like to do is move just the OS off my SSHD onto my SSD, however, it doesn't look like that is possible. While I could do a fresh install, I've found it's stupidly hard to get rid of copies of windows off of secondary drives (I've been trying to get rid of my old windows install off my secondary HDD that I pulled off of my old broken laptop) Another option I have is using Intel's fast boot option, but I'm not sure how well that would work. (I would like opinions on that option) I could also just throw it in my laptop, and use that drive in my main desktop for another half Terabyte of storage but I have no idea how I would get Windows 8.1 onto the SSD due to the fact that my laptop's OS is OEM, and I would rather keep that, then use the copy of Windows 7 I have for my desktop. Thank you for reading my post, and I would be grateful for any suggestions and tips.
  6. they were going to just throw the externals away? wow.
  7. I suppose I should've been clearer on what my case can handle. neither of those will work, because in my case, the maximum height for a cpu heatsink is 155mm
  8. Hello, first of all, I'm sorry if this is considered the wrong forum to ask, but I would rather not ask in just air cooling or water cooling because of the nature of my question. Basically, I want to know what the quiet, most efficient cooling for a cpu is for under $100 CAD; be it air cooled, or water cooled (preferably closed loop). If I go with water cooling, my case will only allow for a 120mm radiator. Thank you for answering if you do. Edit: Max height my case can take is 155mm (6.1 inches) A picture of my PC to give an idea of the limitation's I'm dealing with. (disregard the wiring. I took a picture just after everything was in. I have since cleaned the wiring up.)
  9. Also, warning about Vuugo. If you dont live on the East side of Canada, and order something oversized, (your monitor may count. I'm not sure) expect to pay a decent amount in shipping fees. I paid probably an additional $70 due to their shipping prices.
  10. I would recommend using a normal sized ATX motherboard, like my friend did for me. Its a bit cheaper then the one you have picked out, has a couple more ports, and will be easier to work with. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-h97pcmate You Probably wont need to have that big of PSU, so a lower wattage would probably be a bit better, as well as something fully modular as wires are easier to deal with. The type I picked out was http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr. One thing I personally like to recommend is this: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st2000dx001 The SSHD has a better price point then a HDD +SSD combo, while having more memory, and still having considerable speeds, albeit not quite up to the speed of an SSD.
  11. I personally think that the term refers to how durable a mousepad is, and how it feels moving the mouse around (different materials will have different effects on how the mouse moves, for example). If you're playing an fps vs just casually browsing, I imagine the wear on the mousepad would be important. I have no issue gaming without a mousepad, and personally haven't for a long time.. anyways, the term is probably marketing BS, however it could have some truth to it. (note, as a marketing term, that's why I said at that price, it probably isn't. when marketing terms are thrown around, the price generally is higher anyways, and because the site is based around photos, for gifts to family.)
  12. Considering the site, there is no way it's "gaming grade" especially for that price.
  13. I swear they gave steam codes.. looks like I'm wrong. sorry guy for the misinformation
  14. gmg gives you a steam code. correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure its only sold on steam for pc. Never mind. dont know what I'm talking about.
  15. I'll suggest the case I'm using right now. Although it isn't blue, it has blue leds... http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-ca1b200m1nn00 very cheap, decent cable management (albeit not the best) and fairly good airflow.. (I assume you mean a solid no-window sidepanel).. the case's design also looks decent.
