    Mechassault was garbage compared to the original games.

    Build For Friend - ~$1300 Budget

    Thank you so much for all the input, guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the TPU community. I'd just like to relay the information that he's given me and he's sticking to it. He's a bit hardheaded. He's an Nvidia guy and he refuses to buy an ATI card. Not trying to start any flame...

    Build For Friend - ~$1300 Budget

    Been looking around for full tower cases that aren't too expensive and I've been looking at this: IN WIN Maelstrom IN WIN Maelstrom Black SECC(0.8~1.0mm) ATX Full To... Take that cheesy yellow sticker off and it doesn't look too bad.

    Thanks for pointing that out. Completely forgot to put a case in there. That'll be more on his part on what he wants. That's mainly why I opted for Professional, because I heard that too.

    Done. Replaced it with a Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM Price is now $1,259.91. He doesn't need any more than 500Gb.

    Build For Friend - ~$1300 Budget

    Ok so a buddy of mine is wanting to build a new rig and $1300 is about his budget maybe with a little more. I figure he probably doesn't need to go with an SSD and Raptor will do just fine. Plus, he can save that money and buy a better card. So what do you guys think? Suggestions? CPU -...

    New gaming build

    Would it be better to have two sets of these or just go with this: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3...

    New gaming build

    I'm looking at a very similar build to the OP, except I'm probably going to go with G.Skill ram because I've heard you don't have much clearance due to the NH-D14. I want to go with Corsair ram too, but I don't want to buy everything and then not be able to fit it underneath the cooler because...

    New Build ~$1500 Budget

    Just a quick question, I've pretty much narrowed everything down except the motherboard. I've noticed that the ASRock P67 EXTREME4 (B3) is a favorite among many and then I see the what just looks to be a later model and for a little more is there any reason not to go with the later one...

    New Build ~$1500 Budget

    Thanks for pointing out the SSD. I made two lists and I guess I forgot to put it on the new one. That's another thing I'm debating on. I know a lot of people go with a 60gb SSD for the OS and then get a 1TB hardrive for storage, but I really want to minimize my load times for everything. I...

    New Build ~$1500 Budget

    Yeah, I can definitely wait a month. Is there anything new coming out or are you just saying that because prices are supposed to drop some. I really considered doing that, but I'm kind of an Nvidia guy anyways. I already have 3d vision glasses from Nvidia so it would be wise to stick with them.
