Building a new computer and need help

[KarthXLR]

were you playing apb at 1024x768 or something? i distinctly remember surf saying he got a definite performance benefit going from 4GB to 8GB playing apb. i played apb with 6gb of RAM at lowest settings at 1776x1000 windowed.

btw, PSUs don't draw their full load constantly. they only draw what the computer is asking of it. the price difference WITHOUT the 60% discount between the corsair 750W and the corsair 950W is $40. spare capacity is better than straining your PSU.

edit: looking at your comp starknight, wtf are you doing trying to apply super budget build logic to a high end build?

APB is a bad game, don't use it as an example.

But seriously, if you need more than 4 GB of RAM for a gaming computer, you're doing it wrong. And you can get the same amount of performance out of cheaper cards instead of buying a 580. God versus, he doesn't have to spend all this money on the computer, he can, I dunno, SAVE it.

holy shit

Also, I did a little googling on the military discount. It's not 60% off everything, it's 25-75 percent off. It varies. It may very well still come out closer to $3000 than previously thought. I'd find out what the total price is with the military discounts before any more "discussion" occurs.

Instead of bitching at Versus, who has constructed 2 or 3 full lists to help Coelit, a relatively new community member and a complete computer noob, on his first ever computer build, maybe you could toss in something constructive. Like say a link to a comparison test or performance results or a price to ratio chart or a voltage calculator. Or even a link to alternative parts.

I mean, holy fuck.

Edit:

TL;DR

Less bitching at each other, more being constructive and on-topic.

I did. Look a page back.

Ah, you did.

Most of the constructive bits got lost in the mountain of shit-flinging though.

Have people really needed more than 4 gigs for gaming? Aside from APB, I've always had enough.

Dear fucking god this topic exploded while I was away.
Ok.
1. I talked with him and he said yeah a 60 percent discount on newegg
2. It isnt really worth saving money, why not get myself a computer that will last at least 7 bloody years or so before I feel the need to upgrade.
3. :I IDC IF I DONT NEED 2 FUCKING RAM STICKS I MIGHT AS WELL FOR THE PRICE OF ONE WITH THIS DISCOUNT.
4. Yah..uh...TL;DR version of what the hell I need to change please.
5. Thank you everyone.
