  1. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VXwLK4 Here's a build at the upper limit of your budget, the liquid cooler is optional and mostly for aesthetics as Ryzen processors come with a pretty solid stock cooler. Only included an SSD because I'm assuming you're going to reuse your storage drives. Personally I prefer air cooling because twin stack coolers are sexy, but if you can afford the premium go for it. Also shilling my thread from earlier this year.
  2. New Mouse

    Used this mouse for three years, then switched to the Finalmouse Ultralight 2. Honestly the 502 is a good mouse, but you don't really notice how heavy it is until you switch to a 50g mouse.

  4. Currently on a Huawei Nexus 6P, been switching off several different android devices the past couple months. My favorite brand for hardware is probably Samsung or One+, but I usually get Nexus/Pixel devices a year or two after release. As long as you have an android based phone that doesn't have a mediatek chip, you can update your phone yourself and choose from a plethora of custom android ROMs.

  7. 80+ ratings are generally accepted as the reliability of the power supply over efficiency, as lower rated units tend to use cheaper parts and are typically less reliable. Ratings are more for peace of mind than anything, do you really want to risk your entire build because you read one good review of a low tier part? Not to mention, anything that uses ketchup and mustard cables in the current year shouldn't even be considered. HDD reliability charts are completely arbitrary and mostly luck of the draw. People say to stay away from Seagate, but my main drive is a 2tb Barracuda and hasn't failed in two+years. There are different iterations of each of the caviar series, some more reliable and some less. WD has been a front-runner in mass storage for a couple decades now and the general consensus is that they're fairly reliable. However, I will agree that $100 for a 2 TB drive in this day and age is highway robbery. As for cloud storage, I can't even fathom why you would recommend it as a main source of storage. Cloud storage companies DO NOT respect your privacy and you do not own your data, whatever company you rent storage from owns it. The only real reason to recommend cloud storage is if you're a student and want to keep all your assignments. HDDs are cheaper per gigabyte than SSDs, so it simply makes more sense for most people to use them in budget oriented builds. If you're going for silence or are a content creator and value your time then by all means go for larger SSDs, but to write off HDDs completely is nonsense.
  8. Some coolermaster cases are good, with them it really depends on the product. I forgot about Kingston, both their memory and flash storage options are quality. Ryzen stock coolers are good enough for stock base/boost speeds and I only recommended AIOs because most people spending $1500 on a build have enough cash to care about aesthetics, but twin stack air coolers are also a good option for high performance OCing.
  9. Uhhh play videogames and watch weeb shit. Is this a trick question?
  10. You aren't supposed to be in armory vent as a T to begin with and as long as their were other CTs enforcing, he was doing nothing wrong. Vents and secrets are KOS, and if you go into vent you better make sure you can tap the CT camping with a pistol.

  13. The reason we don't have auto slay on ttt is mainly because there are too many situation where just because an innocent kills and innocent, it doesn't mean it was necessarily a [bAD ACTION]. I'm assuming it's a similar situation with JB, along with the other reasons stated earlier by @fantastic.
  14. Seems pretty self explanatory to me unless I'm missing something. If anything, it's more clear cut than blatant disobey. The only thing I can think of it causing a misunderstanding is the whole issue with double warning shots. iirc (correct me if i'm wrong) Ts are currently protected from being warning shot multiple timed by the same person.
  15. This !wp might work for other servers, where they have more structured CTs, but our server is different. CTs basically have no communication and it's every man for himself. If everyone is their own warden, it doesn't make sense to limit the CTs on a server where it's already extremely easy to rebel. If a t can disobey every order and live to the end of the round, are the CTs really doing their job as an enforcer?
  16. Yooo congrats!
  17. We didn't, but most people don't because they don't know how to aim at the legs or are scared of accidental collats.
  18. Congrats everyone!
  19. Congrats boys!
  20. Hello and welcome to another in depth PC building guide. This guide will cover the basics of budgeting and building a PC. As this is a gaming community first and foremost, most of these builds will be focused on value for money. When budgeting for a PC, the most important part of the build will be the graphics card and should take up 30-40% of the budget. Decide what features you need, pick your resolution and settings. There are a few things I’d like to say before we get started. These prices don’t include the prices of operating systems, peripherals, or other accessories. As the market for PC components continues to grow, these prices are subject to change. If you are building a Ryzen based system, please make sure your memory is ryzen certified, otherwise it will not run at its advertised speeds and default to 2166 MHz. Your Power Supply should be bronze rated or higher. It isn’t worth spending several hundred dollars on a system only to have it fail because your power supply fried your motherboard. If you don’t plan on overclocking, consider dropping to a non-X or K model processor. If you plan on using a non-K processor, it’d be best to get at least a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo as it performs much better than stock and isn’t too pricey. Seeing as these builds are primarily focused on value, they will mainly feature AMD CPUs. Intel was previously the go-to company for CPUs, however in recent years AMD has provided serious competition and the x600 has become the 2500k of this generation. Recommended brands: Power Supplies: Corsair (some of their low tier PSUs have QC issues so beware), EVGA (avoid the SuperNova series, the brand they use for isn’t that great) SeaSonic and SuperFlower. Another note: PSUs should be double your rated power draw just in case. CPU Coolers/ Case Fans: Cooler Master, Noctua, Corsair and NZXT Mother Boards: ASUS (hit or miss, their higher tier lines are good but be careful of their low tier lines), Gigabyte, MSI, AsRock (Taichi line specifically). SSDs: Samsung (850 EVOs for SATA and 950 EVO/PRO for M.2 nVME) HDDs: Western Digital (Black or Blue if you want to save money), Seagate (hit or miss, I’ve never had a bad experience with their drives but it’s all anecdotal) Hitachi (Ultrastar and Desktar) Memory (RAM): Corsair (LPX is the best deal) and Kingston HyperX GPUs (Video Cards): ASUS, MSI (avoid their Armor line, it’s garbage), EVGA, Sapphire and PowerColor Cases: Corsair (750D, Obsidian series, and Crystal series), Fractal Design (Define R5 and Meshify C), Phanteks and Lian-Li. The Lists: Entry Level: $500 Budget Main Stream: $750 Budget Moving Up: $850 Budget Excellent: $1000 Budget High Tier: $1200 Budget Future Proof: $1500 Budget
  21. Personally, I don't really see the need for this. Sure it'd be a nice feature, but typically the guy who gave First Order will control the round for the next 20-30 seconds. If they feel the desire to give special orders they usually do at least until the Ts unmute. It would be nice to be able to give special orders that pop up in an info message on the Ts screen, but I see it as more of a quality of life thing rather than a necessity.
  22. Upgrading my PC

    Not only that, dual channel RAM always provides better performance than single channel. The only time I'd really recommend single channel is if you're on a budget and plan to upgrade from one 8 gig stick to a 2x8 later on.
  23. Watches

    My Seiko 5 SNK809, it's a great entry level automatic field watch. The movement is excellent for under $100. My next purchase is most likely going to be a SARB035.[ATTACH=CONFIG]20804[/ATTACH]

  25. The Asus PG27Q is one of the best panels you can get these days if you have the budget for it.
