I have a GTX 295 just doing nothing, not been used in a while. And my dedicated servers 8800 GTS just died. I have a Corsair 650TX (V2) in it. However the server runs 2x Intel Xeon E5335 and I dont know if you need to start factoring in the ram as it is full buffered. The PC will never be used for 100% graphical output (Unless my Rig dies). Will I need a better powersupply for the GTX 295 Full Specs : 2x Xeon E5335 1x 124GB SSD 1x 1TB HDD 8GB Fully Buffered DDR2 3x dual port 1GB/s Nic (If that uses much power) 7 Fans Also do you think their could be stability issues putting a GPU like this into a Workstation grade (Although using 7 year old parts) server. Note: PSU is only one year old

Don't blame the developers, if they had their way they would bring their games to as many people as possible. But its not economically viable for the company to do that some times. I hate Microsoft & Sony.

We have a lot more than consoles but its a shame that the few gems that the consoles have exclusive cant take advantage of the power of the PC and we have to suffer because of it.

Just thought I would have a little rant. With a new halo this year which has been entitled (At the moment) "Halo Xbox one" on their website, I see no hope for a PC release however I find this a shame since I wont be buying a Xbox one only for this new release and maybe one squeal before the Xbox platform looses its hold on the market (But that a topic for another day). I grew up with Halo, with the original Xbox, going onto the 360 until I realised that a PC gives a much much better experience than consoles. But what a shame halo is an exclusive. Halo is arguably the best and one of the most versatile game franchises that has ever been. But it was a mistake by Bungie and 343 Industries not to port halo onto PC. I am not talking about a brand new release going on to PC. A bit more like how rockstar has went about GTA 5. Even if they ported Halo 3 to PC now. Imagine what the modding community could do to halo 3 if they were let to edit it and get their teeth into the engine and graphics, like they have Skyrim. Giving the game the full graphical overhaul it deserves and allowing us, the gamers to play the game that Bungie wanted it to be experienced. The story behind all of the halo games is a masterpiece in itself but it is often that the graphical aesthetic of the game lets it down. I experienced this with halo 4 it seemed a let down, not because of the story but in the 5 years between the two games, I saw such a little improvement and I just expected more. (Sorry for using this example again) Skyrim, since its release its graphic has evolved so much that with these improvements it can still stand toe to toe with new releases which are orientated around graphics and story. If the halo franchise was allowed to spread onto the PC, I think it would enrich the experience that we would get from the game. Now i am not saying the graphics as important as the story but what I am saying, is if it were released to PC they would become better, and I did however think that when halo: anniversary was released with the "graphical overhaul" it didn't improve the game, I preferred the vanilla graphics because that is what I can remember from being a child. And many people will feel the same way. But i think it is an insult to us gamers that we should get a new release designed for a set hardware to render at 720p which is then up-scaled (correct me if I am wrong I don't really know much about the 360/Xbox one) to 1080p. When their are games out their that have been designed to push the limits of technology, which aren't even AAA titles. I doubt that the new Halo wont be full of story, and lore, and all the things that we love as gamers. However I do think that the graphics and limitations that the console brings to the table is something that us as gamers should have to deal with in order to play the games that we have grown up with and loved nor should having to buy an inferior technology. This is the genre that requires a lot of graphical input and user immersion, that only a PC can bring (Spyro on PC would be amazing with or without a graphic boost). And the bonus' that the PC gives a game is so important to a first person game. (Sorry again) Skyrim thrives on mods created by the community. Halo's forge gives so much versitlity to the online and this keeps the game going (at least on Halo 3) way after its release. Its this sort of community creativity boost that makes games so enjoyable. Starcraft 2 is a very good example of this its online becomes very monotone after a while of playing, however the creation tool that blizzard gave the community was so open and so programmable that it is what keeps the game alive between the expansions (Debatable). Something that Diablo 3 could do with, if blizzard opened up the random dungeon crawl engine as a tool to create independent community made quest lines i think the game would thrive. Halo Wars is the one game I would have loved to have been an exclusive to PC and designed for the PC as it was simply on the wrong platform. If it had released when it did for PC it would have enriched the RTS genre before the release of Star craft 2 in the next year. I don't think this would port very well now however as Blizzard raised the bar for the Sci-fi RTS genre to a very high height and any sort of port to PC would seem, a waste of money. I know how much people rant about this sort of thing and how annoying exclusives are so please don't slate me about how stupid this post is or anything, and the reason I posted it here instead of on the halo way-point forums or another halo community forum is because I most probably wouldn't have been heard as much as I am here (hats off to Linus) and If I were heard I would have probably been shot down by all of the fan boys of consoles, who know nothing about PC and would have probably received a comment such as "Gaming with a controller is much better than keyboard and mouse" and I would have most probably went into a rant with a prepubescent child, trying to convince him that you can use a controller with a PC.

It boils my blood as well that people are commenting to find help

Just found this This really boils my blood when I see people do this

Im probably going to go with the K70 in gun metal grey but its so hard to find other than amazon for £150, and i can easily reach from caps lock to enter on lycossa with one hand.

Anything which is you're normal average size or bigger. i have quite big hands and small keyboards annoy me to hell. (I know im picky)

I currently use a razer Lycossa and have became very fond of it but I want mechanical, as anyone should, however when I have tried to use keyboards such as the Corsair K90 and Razer black widow and I just hate having the macro keys on the left as I will never use them (Macros on mouse) and since I have had a keyboard without the macros I kept on going for control or shift and then activating my friends magicka macro. Also MX blue is my prefered however I also love the back lighting that comes with membrane such as the lycossa. Are their any keyboards that are out their that don't have macro keys (on the left, fine anywhere else) in UK format and with a good back-lighting (I know MX rgb is around the corner but I need mechanical now!) Oh and also K70 Blue is good but expensive in UK I found £150 cheapest (Top contender atm but would like to see if their are anymore) PS it needs to match in with my monitors (2x aoc i2367fh)
