(barring Deus Ex MD)
Throw in as much RAM as you feel like buyingor need in the case of loading The Bore threads
an Intel i7 6700k and NVidia 1070:-*
What's your budget? What resolution do you want to play at?

I spent a whopping 5 minutes picking the parts to this and it would play basically everything out today at 1080p and 60 FPS at high/max (barring Deus Ex MD).
Granted you'll want to do your own research (especially with the case/mobo/PSU) and you might want a different CPU or GPU, but it's a decent baseline.
what kind of resolution do you play at Rumbler?
> i7 6700k and 1070 being mid range :doge
But yeah, it's easier than ever to build a PC, both in terms of the building process and more importantly installing all the software/drivers afterwards. So have fun.
Don't overclock and just use the stock fan
:yeshrug
I've never had issues

1920X1080
Intel doesn't ship their CPUs with fans anymore.
the one consistently highrated cooler master one can be had for like $18-20 or so often, i don't mind paying a little more in this case versus some of those cheapo third party fans
is it a lot more expensive to pick my parts and have a website put them together? i don't feel like going thru the trouble of building my own right now.

You just need a Steam Link box. Plug that into the TV and stream your desktop to it.
whats the response delay on that
I agree, just the narrative in some circles is = PC gaming only worth it with 60fps, max settings, gsync, 4k, 1ms etc etc otherwise you need to upgrade.
Good to see some level headed people here.
PC gaming has always been cyclical to me. When I upgrade my computer I can run most games maxed out and then there is a gradual drop in quality until my GPU is too old to even run the games I want to play.

Have you read GAF's PC build thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1222740)? I don't know your budget or your intended use, but a SSD and 16 GB of RAM are both good things to have.

Listen to this man. If you still have a GAF account, go post your budget and needs over there. Buy the parts through a build a PC site like NCIX (if I remember right) pay like $200 more for them to build it if you can't do it yourself and you're done.
i had a problem with mounting my fan a few months back, despite coolermasters claims i'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be installed the way the directions said since it said the mount the board in the case first for stability, which would have rendered the fact that you had to put a nut on underneath impossible, what i figured out on my own worked way better thanks to my copius amount of large politically themed books to hold up the massive heat sink's weight
was somehow still easier than the stock fans intel shipped with their core 2 duos
Ordered a 1070 today :bow
Came with Gears 4 :bow
PC gaming :bow
Is there going to be much difference between the 1070 and 1080 if I'm using a 1080P monitor?
Was thinking about getting a desktop from Amazon. This one seems like a good deal (https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Panzer-PVP3000LQ-i7-6700K-GTX1080/dp/B01FX8T0TA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1474460951&sr=8-5&keywords=gaming+pc+1080) although a buddy said that the water cooling system in it looked like cheap shit.
If you read benchmarks there is a pretty big difference in performance between the two models. Do you have a high resolution monitor (e.g. 144 Hz or G-sync)? A 1070 is probably good enough if you're limited to 60 Hz.
I'm currently deciding between 1070, 1080, and the unreleased 1080Ti.
About the PC you linked:
- The water cooling in there looks poor and is rather small; probably a budget custom config for Cyberpower.
- The cost is pretty damn high; for example I bought a better rig with higher quality parts for at least $500 cheaper.
- The rig is missing an SSD which is a deal-breaker.
If I wanted a pre-built desktop, do you have a good recommendation?
Not interested in building one. I want something that is ready to go. I know it costs more that way, but hey.

Building a PC yourself is so stupidly easy. Even ram timings are a thing of the past.
Compared to 10 years ago, building a PC today is fisher price levels of difficulty.

Who here games on a laptop?I only use laptops when I'm on the move. A desktop with a good monitor, a full-sized keyboard and a good mouse is so much nicer to work with. If I only had a laptop I would probably do most of my gaming on consoles.

I need to replace my GTX 680 before the year is over. How did you guys decide which version of the 1070 to get? Just looked on newegg and there's way too many to choose from.I generally go for models that are overclocked with extra cooling (mostly because of the lower noise levels) with good user reviews. For the 1070 series there are several good alternatives with either three fans, or two oversized fans.

Thanks everyone, I'll just go with this. I tried Forza Motorsport 6 Apex on my PC last night in anticipation for Horizon 3 and it looked like ass, so I figured it's time to upgrade. I can't complain.

I bought the best selling EVGA model on Amazon:

That's pretty much the same computer I've got. Unless you're playing at a really high resolution, you should be able to blow every game out of the water with ease.
Yeah, you are set on 1080p for a while. Maxed-out settings and everything.
I'm probably gonna try to put together something similar but looking at 1440p, maybe.

The same thing will do 1440p/60fps. No need to get a Titan X for that.Yeah, you are set on 1080p for a while. Maxed-out settings and everything.What's needed for 1440p at 60fps?

The Maxwell one from 2015. They now have a Pascal based one, too. Also named Titan X. Because that's a smart thing to do. :doge Then again, anyone buying it probably pays very close attention.The same thing will do 1440p/60fps.

The 1070 is actually slightly faster than a Titan X.
Cool. I don't have a monitor capable of that, but maybe I'll look into one next year if they're not too expensive.
Those MSI desktops are really kawaii man, how much did it cost?
Ultrawide has its appeal, I must admit.

Why would I buy something that I know I'm never going to play through? I'm not too big on medieval fantasy RPGs. I mean, the game looks cool and all...but I'd probably play it for like an hour or two and never touch it again.
