PC gaming?

[femaleacid]

Afternoon all.

Okay, i usually game on xbox usually stuff like 1st and 3rd person shooters (CoD, Battlefield, Sniper etc) but I've started to grow out of it a bit now and stared to get into things like Skyrim, Oblivion, LOTR but hard to enjoy on xbox.
Started playing LOTR online on my laptop and its so much better!

Thinking about converting to PC gaming now that i have found sense.
Which is easier/cheaper? Building my own up which will take time or buying one myself and just buying a good graphics card and RAM etc...

Advice?

[hindle8907]

build your own, initail investment will be anywhere from £600-1000 depending on how much you have to spend then just change your core components every 2-3 years as they become out of date.

I'm just about to upgrade my 3 year old Motherboard , CPU and RAM and that alone is going to cost me £570.00

I got a new card at xmass costing just under £200

Off the top of my head if you want to play decent games at hi-ish Res with a solid 60FPS you will need to shell out at least £650 on components for a half decent gaming rig.

Welcome to PC gaming you wont look back unless you run out of money far superior to console gaming.

[Woogie]

You would probably need to spend a little bit more than £650 for to play things with a solid 60fps.... I paid £1300 about 8/9 months ago and going back and playing older and modern games such as Skyrim, Splinter Cell conviction, fallout etc I cant play them on max with a solid 60fps, it will always jump around between 20-50 (may also be due to the system issues I'm currently having) on a 21" monitor at 1680x1050.

As said though you can buy pretty much everything for around £600 (not including a decent monitor). My rig above included things like a SSD for my Os and what not which you probably wouldnt be looking at for a entry level machine.

My parts were

Nvidia GTX 570 Phantom 1280mb gfx Card
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-GW

8 Gig ram, I7 3.4ghz Sandybridge clocked to 4.2 and Mobo bundle (no longer on sale)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-082-OE&groupid=43&catid=2053&subcat= (Similar bundle to the one I got)

OCZ Vertex 3 120gb SSD (PAIN IN THE ASS as was old firmware so caused me no end of issues)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-071-OC

1000w PSU
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-053-OC

Nice case :)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-196-CM

A blu-ray drive and some thermal compound and cleaner.

(just added all the costs up and I could have saved myself about £200 buying it all now :( the SSD alone was about £180 when I got it now its around £80)


In terms of easier and cheaper how much experience building and troubleshooting PC's do you have? While it is not that difficult to resolve these issues it can be incredibly frustrating... especially when you can buy pre-built gaming machines these days. There are pro's and con's to both. For instance if you buy a pre-built PC and anything is wrong on arrival its down to the company you bought it from to fix it, where as if you buy parts its down to you to prove you DIDN'T break them during the building of the machine (I have just spent 3 months testing some parts on my pc to prove it wasn't me and there genuinely is an issue). In terms of pre-builts you can get something like

or

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-237-OK&groupid=43&catid=2040&subcat=1444

With the GTX570 card will easily run the games you want (comes in at a total of £739 AMD and £689 Intel) But I would advise steering clear of the AMD Bulldozer CPU's (I know I just linked one but still) as they are not as powerful and use more power than the Intel equivalent.

In all honesty it all depends on your budget....

[hindle8907]

woogie you on dayZ ?

[keith_d]

I'm not sure that building your own will save any money up front. Decent parts aren't particularly cheap. But, a lot of the off the shelf machines (particularly Dell) use non-standard parts which make repairing and upgrading a nightmare.

So my recommendation would be to build your own.

Keith.

[Elliott]

I've always built my own and have had some belting machines.

But with companies like overclockers offering prebuilt system you can just buy a package rather than mess about. Last time I look there gaming range started at £500~ with the good'uns starting at £700
Good builds and will do all you want and more.
For good fps get 2 decent cards rather than 1 amazing one works miles better.

[Woogie]

woogie you on dayZ ?

Yeah... We have out own DayZ server but not sure what is going on with it atm.....

[L3nny]

Used to work for a games company and it put me right off PC gaming. You have to spend so much to get a decent rig to play the latest games and one day a game just won't work and no matter what you try it never will. Stick to the x-box and spend your money on other things. PS look in the manual for LOTRO. My name in the credits :D

As well as Overclockers, check out www,yoyotech.co.uk

[Kenzie]

I would avoid Novatech. The pics they show in the ads don't represent the product sent if it's a Novatech part. I ordered an Ati 5770 a while back with the ATI double cooler and dual monitor outputs and I got some manky HIS card with a crappy cooler. Also get a decent CPU heatsink like Arctic cooling.

[femaleacid]

Wow, I forgot to check this post I look on it and my heads bombarded.

Anyway, thanks guys. I shall start pricing up the bits and bobs and build my own. At least then it'll give me a little project. I don't want anything to extravagant, just something that's do-able for now until I get a bit more money. Most games now require round about 4-5GB RAM and recommend Nvidia graphics card, which probably I'll get anyway.

On a positive note - STEAM HAVE A FECKING SUMMER SALE AND I CAN NOT STOP WANTING.

[hindle8907]

Im selling my CPU, RAM and Mobo soon. be good to get you started all you would need is a GFX Card , HDD , PSU and a case.
It plays any game I throw it it with my ATI 9650 GFX card.
I'm due an update so genuine reason for sale :)
Let me know if your interested.

[Dunn-y]

The Steam Summer Sale has ended now sadly. But you can pick up a decent enough PC for £500 - £600 that can quite easily play games at 1080p, although some settings will have to be lowered.

The cheaper option would be to buy the parts and build yourself however if your keen on building it yourself there are places out there that will build it for you.

DinoPC is one that I used, they were pretty cheap compared to everyone else and they built your PC for you with the parts that you select. They do charge about £25 delivery and it can take up to 2 weeks to get delivered. (Most of that time is sent building and testing your PC)

Where are you located?

[hindle8907]

5 Minutes from the Trafford centre. :)

[femaleacid]

Good enough for me, not too far from Rochdale I suppose.
Well, I'll get myself a tower and a few pieces and I'll let you know :)

hi reading through this got me intrested i've been thinking about a gaming pc for ages but being a xbox guy im not all that smart on whats what.

if some of you could just advise me on wether this is a good buy.

Avoid bulldozer... go for a i3/i5/i7 system instead. More power output and less power usage

[Mikey10]

would you mind posting up a link for a intel system for the same price. My main use would as mentioned for gaming mainly so a graphic card that will hold up on the high settings on most games is important.

[Woogie]

Isnt really one around that price with a similar graphics card, will need to add another £100-200 for a decent GFX card.

[kiggles]

you can get very good bundle deals. most people build their computer. feels like it should be cheaper but not always the case.spec up and pc. find the price, and compare it to a similar bundle.

xbox i think is better for gaming. 20 seconds to start the game. 4 seconds to turn off. computer tend to be a headache

I'll never sell my xbox's because they are good for gaming especially when I'm in the mood to play something like Battlefield or Cod... I see PC gaming for more like Diablo, Skyrim etc.

I have to many consoles and shizz. My room will be a mess with cables everywhere soon :/

[kiggles]

being you work with computers you probably know better then i do. that pc lose value very quickly, break and are a genuine headache.


(ps. i selling a radeon 5770 series graphics card, boxed and good condition) going to put it on gumtree at some point let me know if you end up deciding to make a PC)

need to replace fifa 12 and xbox as they both need replacing

[femaleacid]

Yeah, depreciation is a big deal with PC's - that's the problem. But it's nice to have a change for your mood like if one day I came home from work and though.. hmm I fancy going on Gamecube or xbox tonight it's there ready to play lol.
My laptop can just about play Lord of the rings online -.-

I need to sell my old xbox. I've had it 4 years and it never broke once (arcade version) but it's next to my new shiny black one collecting dust :lol:

You for real lol FPS games like COD and battlefield originate from PC FPS games.

BF3 is shocking on consoles compared to PC and for COD i was playing COD1 and two on PC before most kids these days were even in nappies.

I didn't say that they didn't originate lol, I'm just saying I feel more comfortable holding a controller playing the likes of 1st persons rather than with a mouse and keyboard ... people obviously have different opinions :D

The one game though that I did love on PC is Thief... and I'm still waiting for the 4th one to be fecking released since most of the designers backed-out in the middle of the production *sigh*

[kiggles]

but you cant swear and yell at people on pc as easily on xbox live =]

[hindle8907]

Yeah most people are, only long time FPS gamers will tell u that joy pads are for football games ;)

[femaleacid]

Pfft, football games. Not worth my time ;)
Counter strike was good on the PC too. I have so many old PC games in a box in the loft and I need to bring them back down to dabble on again.

And maybe my original gameboy.. YAY!

[Jackie_Black]

FPS + PC = Win

Consoles are for amateurs.

Building PC's is great to as it means you need to build a man cave.

Here's mine at the moment.

Apologies for the whopper photo

[femaleacid]

You, my friend are my idol.

Well I'm going to end up with a server soon so I'll shove that in my loft sort the cabling out and away with the building and spending I go :D

[femaleacid]

but you cant swear and yell at people on pc as easily on xbox live =]

That's my favorite part :p

[Jackie_Black]

The server is to the right of the ridiculous pc.

Here's a close up of the ridiculous PC.

That is admittedly quite cool! Bet you've spent a a good bit on your 'nerd den' lol

[Jackie_Black]

It sort of built up over the years. There's a recording studio in there too, hence the massive monitors. For games I have 5.1 surround speakers. I've built my own PC's for years though and that one is still playing everything maxed at 1080p, although it's been running overclocked for nearly three years.

That's it, having something like that you've worked on for years you finally get a good result and it's not dead ended because you can keep on updating and updating.

But nice job, it looks good - I'm impressed :)

[Jackie_Black]

That one was built to showcase me mates water cooling company but it is very cool to look at. I only game on PC now really. I have an x box for arcade stuff and the ps3 died ages ago but isn't missed. Once you have played BF3 or eve online at 1080p on a 40 inch monitor/tv then there's no going back :p

[femaleacid]

Lol, yeah I can imagine that's quite awesome :p

[Jackie_Black]

And tech is so cheap now, and sooooo good. The first PC I built was an athlon thunderbird 750mhz with 128 mb of ram and a 7 gig hard drive. It cost £1000. The PC in those pics wasn't much more but is about 20 times faster and has a few terabytes of storage. Can't wait to see hoe good my PC is in another ten years time!!

[xXBADGERXx]

Damn , I remember being thrilled at building my first ever 80486 based system

[Jackie_Black]

Aye me dad build one of those before i got into it. a 486 33mhz i believe with turbo boost up to 40 mhz and a 200 meg hdd with 16mb of ram. I used to instal day of the tentacle on it and he used to go mental.

[xXBADGERXx]

Same processor as me but I only had a paltry 8 meg of ram and a 120 meg HDD . I then upgraded to Pentium with a SCSI based hard drive system and lots of goodies courtesy of a mate that did dev work for Yamaha-Kemble :)

[Jackie_Black]

SCSI Back then = Nightmare

That was pre/early internet to so drivers were none existent. Well done, system builder nowadays don't know they are born, etc etc.

I remember when me mate bought a Pentium 60 and I asked him why did he need that much power. He also splurged on a 17" CRT which cost about £700.

My 60" tv didnt cost much more than that, amazing how much it moves forward.

[kiggles]

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g72/emo_kigz/IMG_1005.jpg

thats my set up. only spent £500 on the pc which was my budget

quad core AMD
8 gig ram
1 gig GPU radeon 5770 (used to use crossfire but seems pointless so selling the second graphics card which is on the desk)
motherboard
4 hard drives (500gig each)
crossfire capable power supply 850watt (bit pointless now i dont need it)

was given an old ancient pc case which does the job and saved money. by time made pc looked around and for similar PC would have had a similar spec but as a bundle was about the same. but then again theres an xbox on my desk which can be used between loading screens.

better off working towards a budget and getting what you want. i wanted average motherboard, modern quad core CPU, average/modern graphics card, alot of ram. but for a good price. I will never use 8 gigs of ram, or max out the CPU. so whats the point of having better?

wont max out the two 10" subs under the desk or the 6 5-1/4 inch cast basket drivers and 6 5-1/4 inch pressure-coupled Low Bass radiators for impressive deep bass with high impact punch which are built into the wall, either... but they cost £475 off ebay and that was in my budget =D.

You have clearly never used a machine with a SSD :P

You make baby Jesus cry :( I can understand why most younger people these days prefer Console fps gaming as you were bought up with it where I am still a firm believer of there is nothing quite like the reaction speeds and twitch movements of a mouse+keyboard..... controllers are an abomination :P


but you cant swear and yell at people on pc as easily on xbox live =]

Can you not? And here was me thinking quite a lot of games had in built VOIP these days :P

My Man cave... Although I've moved house and its slightly different now and looking back at this my monitors look TINY!!!! Dell is a 21.5" and other is a 17" so they arent exactly huge but still

no that was out of my budget ;)

hehe, when optimized my pc boots in about 10 seconds and is ready to use, Any game I have on the SSD loads in abut 5/6 seconds and PC shuts down nearly instantly.

[Elliott]

Ssd are now very cheap, and the price will continue to fall. Look out for more laptops/desktops coming with 2 drives a small ssd and a large storage drive.

It's the future kids.

[femaleacid]

As long as I never own a mac, I'm happy.

Which is why I boot from a 60GB SSD and load apps/games from a 1TB RAID0 array.

Will be adding a 240GB SSD for my game installs just as soon as I can afford one.

Bulk storage is dealt with by the Linux Fileserver with 3.7TB of Raid5 on board.

[Woogie]

MAC's aren't anywhere near as bad as they used to be in terms of day to day use but I just hate the restrictions on hardware and upgrading.

[femaleacid]

I have a phobia of mac's I really do. We have around 100 of them at work and I went out of my way to learn the ropes of them since I've never dabbled on one.. Within 5 minutes I turned it of. All I do on them is sort the IP's out and connect the printers THAT'S MY LIMIT.

They're way to overpriced for what they are!

[Elliott]

Apple Macs are very good computers, in fact my work computer is a Mac but running windows.

Best of both worlds for a mobile computer. Fantastic build quality and OS compatible with the systems I use.

I know alot of people hate Macs and I do understand why, but if you used one for a month I'd put money on you changing your mind.

when i built my computer, SSD was very new and expensive. but as long as i can play minesweeper nothing else matters

This. I was always interested by them, got my first one in 2006 and haven't looked back. It was already used (a year old) but lasted until just a few months ago. My current MacBook is two years old and still going fine with absolutely no problems. I can't say that for any other PC laptop I've used or had to troubleshoot.

A friend just got one of the new Retina MBPs as his first ever Mac and is similarly impressed.

[SoulKiss]

Nice what are the monitor arms called ?

Cant remember got them about 6 years ago when I got the monitors, which are 2x 20" Dell 2005WFP, (1680x1050) and a 24" Dell 2405WFP (1920x1200), all with VGA/DVI-D/S-Video/Compsite Video with the 24" having Component as well, once had 2 Different PC's, PS2, Gamecube and PSP connected to the 24" :)

The came with trays that screw onto where the speakers are sitting that can hold a keyboard.

Absolute fortune in monitors there...... Jesus..

[femaleacid]

Nice to see the forum up on screen there.

[hindle8907]

I was shocked I paid £160 for my monitor about 2 years ago, went and got the same model 2 years later from the same shop and it was £175 !!

[Woogie]

I think I paid about £360 for my dell about 6 years ago... Dell monitors are VERY expensive yet easily some of the best on the market.

[femaleacid]

£360?! Jesus christ.
This post is giving me determination to start building away right this second.
What do you think is an 'appropriate' budget to set myself for this project?

[Jackie_Black]

A grand for the PC, that will make it capable of playing everything for the next three years at 1080p with no problems.

[femaleacid]

The monitor and so and so I'm not too fussed about may buy myself a surround sound system but for now just shove a VGA into my TV. It'll do for now till I get a bit of dosh

[SoulKiss]

Absolute fortune in monitors there...... Jesus..

£400 each for the 20" ones and £600 for the 24" (was a refurb).

I had just been paid out £25k as a redundancy settlement :)

Good investment tho, 6 years on they are still going strong.

Long term plan is to replace all 3 with a 120degree triple projector Circular projection rig, but waiting for proces to drop - which based on a 1m radius for the screen, would give a 5760x1080 resolution monitor that is 93cm tall and 210 cm wide, each projector covering a 40 degree arc, 70cm across.

Problem is the software to pre-distort the image, and the cost of REAL 1080p LED projectors.

In the shorter term I am seriously considering one of the 27" 2560x1440 IPS monitors that are appearing from Korea, which use "A Grade" LG panels, so ones that didn't make the grade for being sold to the likes of Apple :p

[Woogie]

Yeah Dell monitors are ace, As I said I've had mine around 6 years now (maybe longer actually) and its still going strong with no issues what so ever.

[Elltg]

Right then.

Who is up for playing some games tonight?

I say this because I am going to be on tonight for a for a few hours from probably around 7 or 8? Likely be on BF3. But I have most of the good games out there.

Ill check back after work see who's game. It'd be interesting to see some of you guys on there!

Oh and btw, in response to the original point, definitely go for buy your own bits. Its not that hard to do and there is plenty of help an assistance out there and im sure we can help too!

Im currently rocking a core i5 2310 and two ati hd6870s in my rig. Starting to regret the dual graphics cards due to the mini heatwave we have had down here the past few days!

Love a bit of online gaming. Build all my own rigs too. Currently rinsing a bit of BF3, MOH, COD4 and, erm COD:UO !! Cant leave Base Assault alone lol. Played in the EBAL tournament for a coupla years. Smashed wrist in Jan means I am sliding down the scales - but you gotta try havent you lol! :thumbsup:

I remember getting the Philippines and Battle Of Britain maps FREE in BF1942. Now they'd probably charge £5 each for them.
