First new PC since 2004! Help is greatly appreciated.
2021.10.21 15:58 TheVast First new PC since 2004! Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking! I'm coming into this extremely out of date. I feel like I'm in one of those "you don't even know what you don't know" situations. Please be kind!
1. What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games (ex: resolution, FPS, settings) or programs you will be using.
- Gaming, idelaly running MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV at >= 60FPS. 1440p or 4k resolution depending on what is reasonable for the budget.
2. What is your maximum PRE-TAX budget before rebates and shipping?
- $3,500 for tower, $1,500 monitor
3. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.
- November-December, not in a hurry
4. What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ex: toweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)
- Looking for tower and a recommendation for a good 4K or 5K monitor. I have a Mac for work. Ideally the same monitor could be swapped between the PC and the MacBook Pro if it's USB-C/Thunderbolt compatible.
5. If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? How old are they? Brands and models are appreciated.
- This will be my first gaming PC in a decade! All brand new.
6. Will you be overclocking (ex: CPU/GPU/RAM)? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line?
- I don't have the knowledge to know if I would benefit from this or not.
7. Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSDs, mass HDDs, Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, VR, VirtualLink, tensor cores, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc.)
- SSD is preferred. WiFi is a must, Bluetooth would be nice. As quiet a setup as possible would be preferred — my gaming time is at night and my desk is in an upstairs bedroom next to a sleeping toddler.
8. Do you have any specific case preferences (ex: mITX/mATX/mid-towefull-tower sizes, styles, colours, window or not, LED lighting, etc.), or a particular color theme preference for the components?
- Minimal case design in white or black tones. This will be sitting on top of my desk (due to aforementioned toddler) and I'd prefer its footprint to be as small and disctraction-free as practical.
9. Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? Note: some post-secondary students can get Windows 10 for free at OnTheHub or through their school's IT software distribution department.
- Nope
10. Will you be upgrading this PC in the future (ie: will you swap out better parts later on or will you build an entirely new tower later)? If so, when?
- Maybe, it depends on what's needed to keep up with next-gen MMO requirements in the next 5 years.
11. Do you have a brand preference? (ex: AMD/Intel for CPUs, AMD/NVIDIA for video cards, etc.)
- Intel CPU, no preference on others.
12. What are the specs of your old PC / laptop? Do you want to see if it can be upgraded instead? If so, paste its build from PCPartPicker here.
- N/A, coming from a Mac ecosystem
13. Extra info or particulars:
- After spending 15 years making due with whatever MacOS has on offer, this will be my first real "this is just for fun, just for me" purchase. I knew my was around a PC case back in 2004 but I'll be coming in blind to pretty much every new technology and component since then.

2021.10.21 15:58 Fartin_Scorsese Tales from the Dealer's seat
This summer my Euchre 3D rating plummeted to the mid 1700s, from an all time high in the 2400s. Since then I've clawed my way back into the 2300s. As my man Bon Scott used to sing, It's a long way to the top if you want to rock-n-roll.
Recently, I've noticed a play made by whomever is in 2nd seat when I'm dealing that drives me batty. It wasn't just a one-time thing. I've seen it at least 3 times in the last week made by players rated at least 2000.
I'll call trump from the dealer's seat. 2nd seat will take the first trick with a non-trump Ace. Then, 2nd seat will lead with the same suit! THEN, I get blasted with No WAYS when the inevitable over-trump happens from first seat, or I'll get blasted with NO WAYS when I don't bother trumping the shit-lead in the first place, because I called it thin.
This is where I want the "What in the name of all that is holy are you fucking doing??!?" button.

2021.10.21 15:58 Lungtied Car Overheating While Using AC Please Help!
I have a 2002 Honda Accord... 2 years ago I busted out the climate control because I was very mad one day (lol) I noticed now that I haven't had the AC on this whole time I have NEVER had to replace my coolant or add any in my car but when I used to run the AC all the time driving my car overheated several times.
What could be the issue if the coolant is getting completely drained when I'm using AC and driving?

2021.10.21 15:58 das_vargas Two Tix for Long Beach Tonight 10/21
I have 2 tickets for Burr at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach tonight. I am still going as I bought 8 tix and have 2 left from people unable to attend.
The tickets are digital through Ticketmaster, so I can email them directly to you. If you're local (IE) we can meet, or I can do PayPal. Either way, you'll be right next to me at the show lol.
Tickets were $100 each after fees so I'm hoping for that or close. MUST be fully vaxxed or have a negative test within the past 48hr, per the venue.

2021.10.21 15:58 BlackSnow11357 Just a rant/discussion about PvP stuff
Couple of things I wanted to ask the community so feel free to express your thoughts about these and keep it chill.
Note: post may seem a bit biased towards hunters but I have honestly faced all these problems in the crucible. I have tried to be fair and request you to tell me if you think I'm wrong.
General stuff: Stasis as a whole Weird network connection issues Dying around corners
Weird spawns in control: Why do I spawn next to the enemy team bruh. Eg. Spawned with 3 enemies or just the on the enemy side. Annoying as heck.
Melees: This is just a weird imo. So many of my melees(unpowered) whiff and then I see a player get pulled 10ft to connect a melee.(punch)
Ability focus: Is it just me or does it feel like hunters have less abilities in PvP as compared to titans and warlocks. Eg. Titan Sunspots are kinda busted.
Supers: Apart from golden gun, every other super makes people run away ( kinda). I know it has crazy aim assist and there is a high risk high reward value to it but it still kinda feels off when warlocks can move around as fast they can and have crazy tracking supers: bottom tree dawn and the stasis super. Not all hunters wear stompees. Apart from this, top tree golden gun has damage fall off and bottom tree cannot kill a super with a body shot and you get no damage resist in super. In terms of avoiding the super completely, I think golden gun is the easiest to avoid as well as kill.
Long cast animation times for the hunter stasis super. By the time I cast my super, I get sniped. Meanwhile, an arc warlock and titan can just jump on top of a capture zone and wipe an entire team almost instantly.
Roaming supers which reward you with kills just for casting the super should not be a thing imo.
Exotics:
Wormhusk crown: I think it is in a good place right now and with rifts and one eyed mask still in the game, it feels pretty balanced.
Bakris: Make it work for all subclasses already Bungie.
Hunters:
Shatter dive is a pain in the butt but is getting nerfed soon. Remove that and I think hunters are pretty well balanced. Not all hunters wear stompees and it has been hinted that stompees might get a nerf too.
Golden gun can use some buffs/changes. Maybe a movement speed increase? Or snapshot on the golden gun itself lol or maybe health buff idk
Hunter arc supers are in a bad spot imo because movement options are lacking. As compared to the teleport of top tree Arc warlock or the dash of the arc titan.
Dodge: Very useful in gunfights but is meh up-close and personal. Hear me out. Eg. Distance covered by the dodge feels less so you still get punched twice and cannot do anything during the animation.
Cannot escape the titan slam with a single dodge, if you jump you cannot run away fast enough.
Warlocks: The stasis super. Hits you around walls. You cannot possibly outrun it and is just too difficult to deal with.
The buffed bottom tree Arc and solar supers. I loved the buffs. But, like I already mentioned above, the solar super seems a tad bit too much with the tracking and the spawning fire and the speed and the burning effect it and the health regen.
Arc super is also kinda nutty and difficult to outrun because the chains are too long. And the cast itself feels like pre-nerf behemoth titan. Just casting the super seems to get you kills. Not to mention it breaks bubbles.
I mean sure snipers kill most of the supers from long ranges but not all maps are long range maps. And if a player comes within like 5-10 mtrs of you, you are dead.
Titans:
Dunemarchers is annoying as heck but it is getting nerfed so I don't think I need to mention that.
One shot melees: why do I need to get one shot by melees around corners? Eg. The seismic strike stuff. If a titan is close enough, there is no way to stop to stop them from charging you without a special weapon it seems. Sure you can jump back etc, but it still manages to connect in air. Annoying af.
Stasis: breaking shards, gaining an over-shield and pushing with a shotgun. Aping in general I guess. Even without stasis they don't stop aping and all of their abilities seems to encourage them to ape. Eg. Longer slides with stasis, sunspots, bottom tree Arc health regen and damage boost.
Abilities: Sunspots and the damage boost from bottom tree Arc maybe last a little too long? And I feel that passive abilities like sunspots should not be able to kill guardians.
The arc super radius increase is a bit too much imo. You cannot escape it if the titan is in the air lol.
One eyed mask lol
I think these things have existed for a long time and I have only noticed them right now or maybe I may have overlooked it in the past because other issues were more pressing at the time * cough* stasis * cough * dawnblade * cough * . But with Bungie making changes actively I thought it would be nice to see what everyone else is going through.
That's pretty much it I guess. Said everything on my mind. Can play better now lol with this off my mind. Looking forward to hearing about your thoughts. Peace.
