[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Pie Crust]

WAIT A SECOND!

Power On Hours : 222139 hours
  Power On Count : 20363 count DAMN

This is impossible! The drive isn't 25 years old! Anyone know if the program is flawed?

Maybe it's saying that it's maximum lifetime is the "Power on hours", and the "Power on count" is how far it's counted toward that?

[Pie Crust]

I'm around 90% sure that Power On Hours is how long it was running and Power On Count how many times it turned on/off.

you have an ide card. It's most likely wrong though; I imagine it's an ancient Egyptian artifact.

I really want a good computer that I can plan and upgrade as computers upgrade (as in my battle plan; I am not going to build it right away, I need to get money :P).

I'm aiming for a type of gaming computer that can run BF4 or something like Watch Dogs (cough), although I may just get that game for the PS4. I'm not really planning to get any of the complete parts until after summer.


What would be a good price range?

[Georges]

Well, how well do you want it to play those games? On 3 monitors at 60 FPS and ultra, or just good enough to play them on low-medium settings?

[Swat 3]

High or Ultra graphics at 50-60, but of course I am procrastinating here because I know that would be a lot of money, but then the game would be purty, but then...

See?

I just bought a mechanical keyboard. Its like putting on glasses after being unaware you needed them for 10 years.

[Tokthree]

I want to get a mechanical simply because I love the way the clicky-clack sounds on the MX Blue caps

[Tetris]

I find the clicking extremely annoying. I don't understand how people can handle it.

Because some people like noise, it's really that simple

[Doomonkey]

Nearly all of the keyboards at my school are mechanical and they are extremely annoying.

I find it hard to believe that a school would fit it's facilities with the most expensive types of keyboards you can buy.

$1000 is usually the best budget for a first computer build, most bang for your buck
Don't put together a build until you're 100% ready to pull the trigger on buying the parts

[Bisjac]

Yeah its fine to maybe buy a case early on or something. But most parts don't buy as you can afford em. Save money and do all at once.
