building a desktop please help THIS IS MY CHANCE TO GET OFF DISABILITY YOU CAN BREAK THE CHAINS YOU CAN SAVE THE WORLD YOU CAN G

[steveyos]

my back is fucking killing me I tried getting help at the newegg forums but wow it's deader than fjs so I tried to research this shit but current day model names are retarded LGA 1150 is the best but there's LGA 2011 which is worse, my 9800GTX+ isn't as good as a 300, what's up with the lower numbers being better nowadays

I need to be able to run second life in ultra max 100% super high every setting maximum (and arma 3, and I seriously mean 100% every slider to the right) and my monitor is 1920x1080, I'm using blender to make stuff and I need to be able to see it in full complete detail in-game becasue I'm not gonna sell people something that isn't 100% perfect and I'm working with a person who made more money from second life than they did from the US ARMY WHILE DEPLOYED. I don't know how much the army pays you to literally be overseas fighting a war I didn't bother asking but he really does make more from second life, this is my chance to get off disability this is not the time for trolling

I don't know if these are the right choices, please, please help. please. please help and I'll never post here again, ever, not only will you have my promise that I"ll never post here I'll evne give you my credit card info so if I do post here you can ruin my perfect credit score which is all I have going for me at the moment (or if by some crazy chance the perosn helping me WANTS me to post here, then I'll stay, if I receieve help from multiple people with varying opinions we'll work something out)

mobo (I know I want dual-bios so I can finally flash bios updates so gigabyte is my only option apparently):

possible choice 1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128596

possible choice 2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128595



power supply (I want 80 plus platinum power savings I'm still only making $700 a month): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139039


hard drive: (I need the fastest of the fast and I guess a sata 3 ssd would be that? seriously, the hard drive is just as important with second life as everything else it doesn't work like a normal game and the wrong hard drive can I'm not even joking drop you down to single digit fps) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147190

should I have two hard drives one for the OS one for games or does that not matter with a ssd?


cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116901


is $800 ram overkill or does it seriously make a difference? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231687


is this $1000 graphics card actually more outdated than new models and they haven't taken it off the site or is it brand new and the best of the best? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121724




and after all that would I need anything else? PLEASE HELP PLESE

[steveyos]

my budget is $3600

[macpro]

send me the money and I will build it for you.

[steveyos]

WHY CAN'T ANYBODY JUST TELL ME WHAT THE NEWEST STUFF IS MY FINAL HOPE IS LITERALLY SOME FURRY IN SECOND LIFE (well until tomorrow at least but damn that's so far away... idk if I'll be able to make it)

[maks]

Buy a tigerdirect barebones kit, then you know all the components are compatible since you're too dumb to do your own research

[steveyos]

well it's actually my back hurts really bad when I sit down at computer, plus I have to use newegg for newegg preferred account but I'm getting help from the furry community so I don't even need to be here going back to my forum vacation now see ya in second life

[steveyos]

the good news is by not helping me at all you've literally helped me more than the newegg forums lmao what the fuck, once you knew you fucking never use newegg again ™

[steveyos]

and of course someone at the second life forum recommended stuff from 2010 idk what it is with people not understanding "newest stuff available" I feel like I'm just talking to elz everywhere I go speaking of which he's reading this thread right now gonna stay logged in a bit more to see what gem he's gonna post

do your own research

the newest available top of the line yadda yadda stuff could be buggy or faulty and no one knows yet..
Go with something that's been out for at least a few months, has no bad reviews, and is the strongest in terms of performance

[Plug Drugs]

and you never know, in a month or two, a new part could come out that leaves your setup totally obsolete.

[Plug Drugs]

if you want to be making money in the PC hardware game, you have to be actively involved in knowing whats new and what's top of the line, and be reading reviews for hardware like, in your free time.

[Plug Drugs]

wait, i'm assuming you're trying to sell these computers?

[StompleB]

get the midnight special

[steveyos]

no plug drugs don't worry it's really complicated second life stuff that only second life players can understand

[steveyos]

and if you want me to do my own research send me some oxycotton so I can ignore how bad my back hurts because it kinda gets in the way of me being able to focus on why my 9800gtx is not as good as a 300, or why LGA 2011 and 1055 are worse than 1050, ok, don't blame me for making this shit not make any sense if I made computer parts they wouldn't be named by dropping keyboards down stairs

[steveyos]

I'm staying on a bit longer I really want elz to reply to this thread

[steveyos]

btw all those parts I listed link together just fine I just don't know if they're the newest and best available, that titan could be from like 2011 for all I know these fucking companies don't wanna just come out and tell me and you know that they'd still charge that much for it even if there were like five newer cards out that were half the price

[always stevey]

Stevey build an ark.

[steveyos]

I'm not worried about there being problems with the newest stuff either I mean they've been making these things for like forever now they can't possibly fuck up that bad when it's literally just the same thing as the last one and literally the second I click buy it'll be outdated I already know that that's why I wanna make sure it's the newest out so it'll last at least five seconds before it's too ancient to play battletoads

Frankly a Phenom x6 from 2011 would run second life or any other game just fine for less than $300, it's all about the video card if you're going to spend money spend it on the GPU instead of some overpriced i7 bullshit

[steveyos]

I can build an ark in like two minutes in second life

[maks]

I can run Skyrim on ultra graphics on a phenom x4 with 4gb of ram because I have a $450 video card

[steveyos]

what you have to understand is with a normal game, a gun for example is about one object, as where in second life it's over 250 objects, that counts for everything else too, so you've got literally thousands of extra things to render than compared to any other game

plus now it has all the fancy lighting and shadows that other games have, so you're also rendering shadows and lighting on thousands of objects as opposed to maybe ten in any other game

the best stuff out right now still isn't gonna run everywhere in second life in ultra graphics, it's just not possible, because it's also a terribly coded game, but I need the latest and greatest because I'm building mesh stuff in blender now and I absolutely need I NEED to be able to run the game in sliders to the right max settings to make sure the stuff I build is perfect

I'm in the big leagues now I'm working with the top of the top the people who make thousands a month off this game and if I can just see everything in full detail I too can finally start making money


god damn somebody please why can't anyone just tell me the newest stuff I can't even tell on nvidia.com if that titan or the 780 is the newest agh fuck come on marks you already know all this just help me out I have a $3600 budget I want to build the best now instead of spenidng less now and less later which will end up being more you know

[steveyos]

yeah I know, but like I said in the above post this isn't skyrim if you still don't believe me please join me in a couple sims and you'll understand what I mean I guarantee you'll get single digit FPS, I'm not trying to become a gamer I'm trying to become a millionaire

[steveyos]

even the hard drive is just as important as everything else in this game, I can't even slack on the hard drive, because that'll even bring the game to a crawl

[maks]

All the things you're talking about are rendered on the GPU stevey. A brand new i7 would undoubtedly be a little faster, but if you have a set budget of $1000 you'd be better off with a $300 cpu/mobo and a $700 GPU than with a $700 cpu/mobo and a $300 GPU

[steveyos]

but I have a $3600 budget >.<

[steveyos]

and I want it to last a really long time >.<

SATA 3 is common now and even the budget motherboards should come with at least one port. You could splurge on a SSD but that's probably going to put you over budget
