Ill swap that crappy PSU and get a decent one.

Slick:

I don't care if you are right or wrong... someone will come around and correct you if you are wrong. What people need to realize is that we need to step up as a community and get above the pathetic fights and bickering. Share knowledge, be friendly, enjoy your stay.

He also forgot to mention if you dont know about the topic then dont make stuff up. Dont claim fake or assume things just by reading the title, Read the post. It doesnt matter if you made 3,000 as it could be mostly crap...

My integrated HD 4000 graphics run CS:GO fairly well so your 260X is a bit too much, a 250X will still run it great.

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

Best I could do... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bq6yBmLol a little better processor. If you want It can be a 500GB Caviar Blue. :P Plus if you are just gonna be playing CS:GO stick with 4Gigs of ram and in a few weeks buy the EXACT same kit and just put it in your PC if needed :)
