added the Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 4.2 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80677I77700K Desktop Processor to the list
this puts me at about a third of my budget

if there's a site I can use to bring down costs that'd be phenomenal

Off Topic / Tactical Nuke's first computer build! (MINIMIZNG COSTS)
« on: August 24, 2017, 10:02:38 AM »
so my computer is also something like 5 years old and I've made clear how it's dying right now in previous topics (mainly the graphics card coolers are not working as far as I can tell from using speccy)

I'm planning on making a computer build, my first, for the same price as what I bought this computer for, $1500 $2500

here are my current specs:


Here are my 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)
  • needs to be able to run FL Studio, with all it's plugins and stuff, smoothly, and it should be able to store several recordings and audio files (AKA two large hard drives and a ton of RAM)
  • needs to be able to have my cintiq hooked up to it and work perfectly
  • I would like it if I had multiple 4k monitors, though IDK how much that would cost
  • needs to have a reliable, effective cooling system that won't break on me like the last one did, someone brought up a liquid cooling system in the last topic I made but I don't know how that works or what it costs
  • 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
  • needs to play audio outstandingly, right now my audio's forgeted up in iTunes and it will only play bass for songs like The Beatles's "Taxman" (this is not super important, though, my recording instructor told me that when I hook up an audio interface to my computer it will automatically become the sound card and make it sound much better)
  • needs a case that will fit all this, look pretty and still remain compact and portable
  • needs to work without bugs or annoying stuff like that (loving duh)

here is what I've got so far (this will be updated as things progress):

I need help cutting down costs without sacrificing quality, I need at least $99 leeway for the Schiit Modi 2

I would be miserable ihmo It's already stressful enough going away and having to live with a stranger and do all your work and then that stuff

mmm mmm mmm college drop out here i come

take that and make it two strangers, a cramped desk you can't do work on, and sleepless nights and there you go

I've never seen someone struggle this much with a dorm room lol

yeah I'll admit I've been a little obsessive over it though I really wish that I had a room with AC so I wouldn't be

speaking of which another night where I didn't sleep well

I see where you're coming from, but the mix-up in grade levels is not due to people living on campus for the first time. You're required to live on campus for the first couple of years here, plus we're in the middle of nowhere so it's impossible not to.

Normally, we have a lottery system that assigns each individual person a number and they go in order. Specific dorms are for specific grades and everyone gets into their grade's space. They changed it up this year to something different (I'm gonna ask my older cousin who's a senior what they specifically did, she also got screwed over by this but was able to dig herself out of it before the school year began), which got people applying for spaces they really shouldn't be in considering their grade, and so everyone's shifted around and no one's in the right spot. That clamber to get into the appropriate dorm is what I'm gonna take advantage of.

Also, if it takes three weeks to sort out issues between roommates it's safe to say that you probably shouldn't be bunking with that person.

kill ornstein last or youre a pusillanimous individual

I watched a guy play it on NG+8 and the guy loses all his speed
I was gonna kill ornstein first because I thought otherwise he'd go all sonic the hedgehog on me and I wouldn't be allowed to heal but yea I'll try super ornstein
if it gets too annoying tho I'm going super smough

We just had the hall meeting tonight and it was discovered that we have a goddamn sprinkler system that will go off if enough smoke is detected in a room. This is the party hall on campus.

In other words, this room is a ticking time bomb and I could lose all of the stuff I've been working on plus all my electronics PLUS my guitar if someone so much as vapes.

I'm considering talking to the hall director in the next couple of days. I can't wait three weeks for room transfer to open.

Ok, rant time, why the everloving forget is the room change program set to begin three weeks after everyone moves in? They told me it was so that classes could get situated (added, dropped, etc.), but the two aren't loving related at all and it's not like anyone couldn't loving do a room change and a class switch at the same time. This is absolutely forgeted. I literally went online to do the room picking for this semester, and I got literally the bottom of the barrel when it comes to picking. They decided to try something new and so all different grades of students got misplaced and you've got juniors in senior-exclusive apartments and sophomores in freshman-exclusive dorms. Two of the people I wanted to bunk with literally are bunking with each other now in the dorm my freshman cousin's in so that they could avoid this hell hole of a loving living space. In other words, everything's continuously gone down the stuffter since I got here and it's entirely the college's fault. If they don't see lack of sleep due to loud noisy fans as a valid reason to move me to an AC dorm then I genuinely might have a loving aneurysm.

Luckily, I was able to move back a lab tomorrow so that I don't have to get up at seven in the morning. Same workload, but "more" sleep. I'm taking that as a sign that things are starting to go my way and I'm going to bank on juniors moving out of the prime-retail sophomore dorms into junior spaces and make a move for the best hall on campus ASAP. I'm planning on being literally the first person to apply for a room change. If I can get into the halls that are literally right next to the engineering building, I am going to be top notch for the entire year.
