    Get an 80 plus platinum PSU that provide what you need (eg don't buy a 1000W PSU when you need 500W. You want your PSU to operate at around 80% of its max. do you want modular? do you need single or dual 12V rails? pick a CPU  Understand what you're getting, if you dont know the difference between an i7, an i5, and an i3, why are you picking one? understand what hyperthreading is and whether you need it or not (you probably dont need it and if you have it you should disable it) understand which CPUs are unlocked and which are not AND why that matters or doesn't Pick a motherboard that has enough PCIe slots for you enough USB version X slots for you M.2? verify it's the proper M.2 slot for you (not all M.2 slots support a disk) enough memory to satisfy your requirements check if the chipset prefers dual or quad channel memory if not using an external sound card verify it meets your needs ENSURE THE BOARD HAS THE PROPER SOCKET FOR THE CPU IN STEP 2 KNOW WHAT KIND OF MEMORY THE BOARD REQURIES Buy memory that has good ratings Check timings, especially if you plan to OC check voltage, especially if you plan to OC check speed, especially if you plan to OC Pick a CPU cooler the included one is fine (with the included paste) for normal operation if you plan to OC, get some good thermal paste (i've always liked artic silver (i think it's up to 5 now??)) open loop water cooling vs closed loop water cooling vs air vs heat pipes vs thermoelectric, liquit nitrogen, healium, immersion, etc pick a graphics card  Ensure your monitors will plug into it, do you really want to introduce a single point of failure by using an adapter? Ensure it can plays the games you wanna play future use? cooling? do you need it to support liquid cooling? memory, how much do you need, why? power requirements? SLI/crossfire requirements disks Are you going to use a SATA HDD? SATA SSD? NVMe SSD?  the fastest NVMe SSD is 4-6x faster than the fastest SATA SSD which is 4-5x faster than the fastest SATA HDD do you want RAID? software raid is bad, don't waste your time, if you want raid (raid0 isn't real raid) buy a raid controller if you want NVMe do you have enough PCIe lanes to support full speed, if not are you OK with that? case <-- this is where you save money, not anything above here, ESPECIALLY NOT THE PSU ensure it's the appropriate size, too big of a case is bad for air circulation ensure you pull air in before you push air out use physics... convection already occurs, support it sound, support for radiators, proper size compatibility for your components (motherboard, length of video card, etc) peripherals <--this is also where you save money because a mouse is a mouse and a keyboard is a keyboard. you can always buy something better later.  
     
    Where should you check reviews at? anandtech and tomshardware are great resources
     
    When asking for help with your build
     
    Post your budget Post your list of components that you already have access to (ie. from your old system, such as keyboard, mouse, monitor) Post what games you plan to play or if you plan to do 3D shit Post what is important to you in those games, such as 144fps at ultra, or instant loading of levels, etc. do your research using the first set of points.

    Mark from Facebook reacted to Face in #1 Warcraft 3 Server   
    Hey guys, I've been paying a lot of attention to gametracker the last 1-2 months.
     
    Here is our CSGO server rank over the last 30 days, it was approximately #1100 right before I released War3 Supporter.

     
    And here you can see how we are the #1 War3 CSGO server, with 90% of our competition being based out of MOTHER RUSSIA and the rest being pay2win.
     
    Thanks everyone for playing and helping make us #1 again  
     
    Hopefully we can hold on to the spot!

    Between now and the day the election is decided (assumed Tuesday or Wednesday) we will have DONALD TRUMP and HILLARY CLINTON as playable races.
     
    At the end of the short event, we will have a VOTE on which race will be kept and rethemed/rebalanced (lets be real, their skills are ridiculous), and the other will be DELETED PERMANENTLY.
     
    No bonus XP for this, and no prizes.
     
    Have fun, the races are insane.

    You god damn dumb cunt. Everyday it's something else with you. If you cared about the sanctity of your kids fragile childhood, maybe you shouldn't get blasted while they tuck themselves into bed. Shit, maybe you shouldnt literally refer to your son as "the autistic one" when he's standing in front of you. I'm glad you're playing video games with your kids, but I feel like you guys only play rust because YOU enjoy playing rust, so the violence and cursing is put on the back burner of being a good parent.


    Also I'd dip my nutsack on your daughter's chin. How's that for a predatory remark.

    Mark from Facebook reacted to Face in Mistakes Were Made   
    So as a handful of people pointed out, the XP the players gained in my previous post (the one quoted below) was from "CSGO Pro rounds".
     
    I did not punish other players for XP gained from these rounds, because the rules were semi-vague and CSGO Pro rounds seem "sG approved" when it requires an admin to give out the HP, negevs, etc. For that reason, I cannot punish these players.
     
    The reason the players were originally punished is because the amount of XP gained was so obscenely high that I imagined there was no way they were not exploiting. I also did not have any admins show up in my "XP exploiting" log that I have, because the two admins involved (2 separate occasions) were not on CSGO Pro (or if they were, they gained little enough XP that I didn't notice them). As a result, I had a few reason to assume exploits:
    1) I believed no admin was on, making CSGO Pro rounds impossible
    2) There was the number of players showing up in the "XP exploits" log was appropriately low - enough that they could still get XP but few enough that it was reasonable they were possibly the only ones online
    3) The XP gained was insane, like I said, Confag fired 3,000 bullets into enemies. This would be SO MUCH damage that there is no way someone with even 10k health would survive from a negev (or bizon, for that matter).
     
    As such, I didn't check for admin command logs or ask the players. I felt like it was open and shut.
     
    It was pointed out that I was wrong, and that it was CSGO Pro rounds. The way the XP gains were achieved is because the admins didn't set 10k health... one set 999mill health and I believe the other set 999k or 99k. I had never seen (or heard) of this being done, and honestly outside of testing I've never seen an admin set HP higher than 10k.
     
    Basically, I made a lot of assumptions and instead of asking the players I got frustrated and rip'd their levels. Obviously I made the incorrect (and inconsistent) decision by taking some players levels for CSGO Pro rounds and not other players.
     
    The players affected will be given their (approximate) levels back. I talked with a couple regulars and each of the players to get numbers that they (and I) feel comfortable with.
     
    I'm sorry that I made a mistake, and next time before taking such drastic action I will try to be more careful and talk to more people.
    I also apologize to the players that lost their levels (even if temporary) for any frustration/grief caused as a result.
     
    I have set the limit for all admins (except War3 developers) to 1000 health so we shouldn't have to worry about this specific problem happening ever again. The only reason it is even as high as 1000 is because infected has 1000 health. Please use your admin abilities wisely!
     
    On top of all of this, I have hidden the posts in the other thread. Someone pointed out to me, since it is essentially a rules thread, we do not need comments/memes etc. It will stay hidden and locked.
     
    If you are out of the loop, see the below quotes from myself when the levels were removed:

    I would have thought "we're the only server that's down any news on that?" made perfect sense since it was posted in the war3 sub forum.  kthx
