when you think about it it's really loving depressing that the biggest trendsetters in the entire gaming industry have become just regular old trend-followers

IDK if I've mentioned this but the internet in this dorm is especially loving appalling.

I'm literally at two bars at most the entire day. The internet cuts out for no reason (that includes the wired connection that they tout as the quick gamer connection for gamers) at least once every couple of minutes, I try playing Dark Souls and it randomly throws me into offline mode just as I'm rearing to face Ornstein and Smough with some phantoms, and chrome literally loving freezes for like ten seconds every 30 seconds or so. loving Google Chrome. FREEZES.

To put this in perspective, typing this one post, chrome froze about four times, plus the internet went out twice for at least a minute each time. I have seven tabs open. loving child's play on my home network and in my freshman dorm, but here it's as though it's 200 tabs or some stuff. This is literally my second time typing this post because the internet is so stuffty that my first post got erased with the internet and then when it came back up I was, for some reason, making a new topic.

I am now actively asking people from the sophomore AC dorms if people are moving around. People are supposedly "rushing fraternities" this week, which I don't know what that means (I'm not a frat guy), but if that means they may move to live in a frat house, that's my chance. Anything that makes it easier to find a god damn room is now alright with me. I'm probably going to talk with the community director about my situation over the weekend, too.

also what is this overclocking everyone keeps talking about
it sounds like you're pushing the hardware beyond its limits which sounds impossible to me

r5 1600 and overclock it otherwise get the 1600x. you don't need an i7 or r7 imo
def don't need a x370 or similar-spec'd board
at least 2x8gb ram for sure

are you going wired or wifi for internet

normally I go wireless (if you mean ethernet)

use a ryzen 5 1600 or r7 1700 instead, you'll get some pretty good benefits in performance since it seems like you'll be doing some multi thread stuffs.
ill put together a build that uses the best stuff that you can get at that budget. i may end up getting a dedicated sound card to avoid interference that the mobo's audio may give off since it looks like you're really serious about audio stuff.

I'll let you make the build and then have everyone else review it in case people have different ideas on what should be used
particularly I only really know the intel processors and I'm unsure about the one you're suggesting and how much better it is

at first I read the first bits and thought you just reposted this topic
it's pretty much exactly the same, except you have a budget

yea I took influence from that
he has a budget too

probably should figure out which graphics card you're going to want first, since that's normally a large portion of the budget

I don't know where to start, but here's the requirements

• needs to be able to pass all personal benchmark tests (Just Cause 2, Blacklight Retribution) plus Draw with Jazza's graphics benchmark tests (IDK what they are) and run max shaders (maybe even soft shadows) on BL at 60 FPS for over 100,000 bricks (is this reasonable idk)
• I've heard of something called shadowplay that I want to look into, apparently it allows you to record games smoothly or something which would be good for recording my playthroughs of games like BL, ROBLOX or the Dark Souls trilogy

just how portable and compact do you mean, like a laptop, or like a desktop?

this is a desktop I'm making, but I want to be able to transport it to and from college without issues
