    Dafriz got a reaction from Silent_Assassin in Is there a ratio to how much i should spend on each PC component?   
    no such thing as a specific ratio
     
    things to consider...
     
    good PSU can last years and multiple builds ( i have a 1000 watt BFG PSU from like 2007 that i still use today)
     
    pick out what case you want - consider the size and airflow
     
    after that its kinda personal choice

    Dafriz got a reaction from whm1974 in How reliable are Newegg, Amazon, and Bhphotos?   
    bhphoto is fine, i've ordered stuff from them
     
    newegg didn't used to have third party sellers but added it to be essentially more like amazon but only tech related really
    newegg i will say is probably my favorite due to how diligent and easy it is to look up past receipts for handling long manufacturer warranties
     
    best buy is a good option and not sure but I'm guessing they still offer handling manufacturer warranties in store (most people don't know about this... its one of the reasons i used to buy gpu's only from them with long warranties because if it broke down i could take it in, get a giftcard for what i paid for and buy something else that day off the shelf with said giftcard --- literally best perk/service when dealing with a gpu failure)
     
    amazon... is ok but good god i swear every year their site gets more and more cluttered and is a pain to shift through -- i would avoid buying anything opened from them/used as I have had issues with that before... as well as having my reviews taken down for a low score due to false claims of condition the product was in...  honestly amazon to me is just shady esecially with their reviews like bundling "similar products" from the same company for tallying a high review score on another product....

    are you basically just looking for an open world rpg ???
     
     
    Fallout new vegas
    Final Fantasy XV
    Latest farcry and assasin's creed games
    Dragon's Dogma
    Fallout 4 (to an extent.. seems more shootery)
    Dying Light (zombies open world rpg)
     
    I would highly recommend dragon's dogma if you wanted to stick with fantasy/skyrim appeal or final fantasy XV which would be the closest options i think

    Dafriz got a reaction from telekata in Mining RX 470 8GB card Newegg 129$ - Anyone got experience?   
    LINK: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1DW-0003-000D5
     
    This card is being sold directly by newegg
     
    the model number for the card proves it exists
     
    it only has DVI-D input, but with an hdmi adapter it should be able to pass sound (according to specs due to dac being on the card still)
    and since it is dual link dvi it technically has more bandwidth than hdmi so resolution and framerate for 1440p should be fine
     
    the only thing is I can't find any info of anyone using this for playing games... or using it in a non-mining platform
     
     
    I am so curious about this cheap 470 lol

    actually dvi and hdmi use the same pin numbers... basically they are nearly identical with just different ends, the only thing is hdmi was originally designed to use some of the pins to pass audio through
     
    it is actually a reason why hdmi-dvi or dvi-hdmi adapters are so cheap
