The Computer Megathread

Why can't nvidia write half decent linux drivers?  Ones that don't completely kill the OS when you go into the OS's display settings?

Don't the MSI laptops have super low build quality?

I recently bought one and the only complaint I have is the keyboard is a bit flimsy and gives in the middle a little, its a super nice laptop though. It was also priced pretty nicely since it also came with an xbox that I can sell

my parts arrived.

my case is 6 millimeters shorter than my desk.

everything but THE GODDAMN PROCESSOR AAAHHH

[nerraD]

looks alright, I on the other hand need a decent GPU.

The GPU I am looking for is a Radeon one which can handle Blockland with over 200k bricks.

Any GPU's which can do that? (Preferably the cheapest one)

is it worth it to buy upgrade parts for your computer, and install them as a replacement, or should you just wait till you can build a new one?

Just wondering why you got a HD 6450, the x400 series are the low-end cards so it doesn't have much practical application as anything besides a workstation PC

Here is a decent build at about $1700, which is a little bit above budget. If you need to lower the price simply get a cheaper case and/or drop the SSD or get a fan cooler for the processor instead of the liquid cooling. (SSD's are nice but not necessary, and liquid cooling is very effective but again not required)

So my parents have a lawsuit coming in and we'll have an extremely high budget and we're getting a new gaming computer. Help.

I already know I'm going to get a G-series mouse and keyboard. I want a lot of RAM and 64-bit stuff for Minecraft, and of course Graphics cards, ect.

You still need a computer part list?  I'm going to assume $10,000 if so.

Why are there people in this topic who just want to run one game? Such as the guy who wants to run TF2 on low settings, and the guy who just wants to play minecraft with no lag. It's like well what are you going to do when you want to play a new game that you can't run, buy another computer again like you are now?

I just rushed to find the cheapest one on newegg. I shouldnt have done that.

I have a Radeon that runs it fine. 6450.

Doesn't blockland rely on the CPU the most?
