Sandy 2032 Posted December 24, 2019 You're too blind by not playing on a laptop. You legit got scammed by your "friends". Also I swear it's been said like a billion times on every computer building thread in existence(at least the ones I've seen), that you can get a pretty powerful computer for 1200-1400 Sorry m8.

Carl Sagan 2577 Posted December 24, 2019 This is entirely sG's fault for being a dead clan with no active forums i feel genuinely sad ironic got scammed by a friend during his first pc build, a few years ago this wouldn't have happened hope you learned a lesson on how to research any purchase above $100, and that people you consider friends can still withhold information in order to make a quick buck off of you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even my other friends IRL. I never heard a single thing about getting scammed or getting a bad deal until you guys started on this thread, all of my other 5-6 friends I've talked to who have build PC's said I was getting a good deal. They did mention the CPU being a little old, but they said it was still pretty powerful and will do just fine. I was never looking for the most powerful thing on the market. 10 hours ago, Carl Sagan said: This is entirely sG's fault for being a dead clan with no active forums i feel genuinely sad ironic got scammed by a friend during his first pc build, a few years ago this wouldn't have happened hope you learned a lesson on how to research any purchase above $100, and that people you consider friends can still withhold information in order to make a quick buck off of you I uploaded the "First Build", and I never got any comments for a few days, then I got @daniel_that said it was "pretty epic" or whatever. 13 hours ago, Sandy said: You're too blind by not playing on a laptop.

Haha man I've been playing on a laptop for like 6 years, this PC is so much better and faster than my laptop . Overall my PC costed about $1300, $1200 if you include the fact I've already sold the old graphics card. I understand now that I might have gotten scammed a couple hundred bucks (although like I've said before PC part picker said his PC was worth like $700 in total), but I still love this PC. I haven't had any issues and it's still the fastest and best gaming PC I've ever seen and played IRL. I do plan to upgrade in a couple of years, but until I can tell it's not as powerful as I think, I'm gonna stick with it since it's what I got! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tortoise 2791 Posted December 24, 2019 Alright, so i did what you asked me to do. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k6M8Zf I even included RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack_ 112 Posted December 24, 2019 Yeah I did say the build looked pretty cool. Didn't look at any specs. It appears as though you've been scammed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean my biggest things is I just wanted to be able to play my favorite games at decent settings with high fps, and currently I can play the highest resolution settings with about 120 FPS on average with no lag.

Tortoise 2791 Posted December 24, 2019 120 fps in what game? at what resolution? if you say csgo at 1080 you are diluted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only three games I've really done so far is CSGO at Ultra settings with 120 FPS, and then Dead By Daylight at Ultra settings, but I assume that game is capped at 60 because even with lowering the settings I couldn't get any higher. I've also played Overwatch on the highest settings, don't know exactly what the FPS was, but it wasnt lagging at all. So far I don't have any other games that require anymore "power".

Taboo 2392 Posted December 25, 2019 this is on my ryzen 1700 and gtx 1080. Your 2060 super is literally being bottlenecked by your 8350 and it's a waste, you should be getting well over 250+ fps on ultra. CSGO on a 2060 super with an i5 9600k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zyfLyqOtw0 DBD on a normal 2060 with a 9600k on low: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironic 2277 Posted December 25, 2019 Decided to try out a Rocket just to see. Rocket League - Everything to the highest quality, averaged around 200 FPS (Would go depending on the movements obviously from 180-250ish) On the lowest quality, it stayed around 220-240, I could tell the lowest quality made it a bit smoother, but honestly not by very much and not enough for me to justify playing everything on the lowest quality. Also I looked online, and I think Dead By Daylight is capped at 60, but I can go into my config on the game codes and change that. 4 minutes ago, Taboo said: Your 2060 super is literally being bottlenecked by your 8350 and it's a waste, you should be getting well over 250+ fps on ultra. Well I'll be damned, I didn't know I'm losing about 100 fps because of my CPU lol. Well anyways for the time being, I'm still very happy at the 120 I'm getting. Like I said before this is still the best Gaming PC I've ever owned, so I couldn't tell a difference in the world if my CPU was causing me to lose anything. I do plan on upgrading in the near future, but right now I'm happy with what all I'm getting. Thanks for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jack_ 112 Posted December 25, 2019 I find it weird when people play csgo on settings that are not ultra low. High settings in csgo only brings negative consequences even when you can still get 300fps on ultra. Too many extra visuals with high settings that literally gives you a disadvantage in game.

It was like that on source as well -dx8 my dudes Also look at how soon your already replacing your cpu just ask the dude for 100 back lol Edit: how I imagine ironic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was planning on upgrading the CPU, case, motherboard, RAM, and fans when I got back from deployment anyway. I already sold the old graphics card and got $100 for it. I'm not too worried about it tbh, for now the PC runs perfect for what I need, but I'll definitely give it an upgrade after my deployment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
