Flapjack Joe

I am ordering my computer today, and I am really excited about it! I have been waiting for a long time to get this (almost a year). Before anyone asks, no I am not prebuilding it. I am getting it from Best buy. It is $1029 but on sale for $956. It is a nice computer, and actually a pretty good price for a prebuilt computer. It has an i7-4770S, Nvidia GTX 760, 12GB of RAM, and a 2TB hard drive. The only thing I am really weary about is the Windows 8.1 it comes with (Good thing I have 2 copies of 7). Here is the link:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-essentio-desktop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-2tb-hard-drive/3026586.p?id=1219086172072&skuId=3026586&st=pcmcat287600050002_categoryid$abcat0501000&cp=1&lp=1

My PS3 is Flapjack_Joe Ahem... RED DEAD REDEMTION! My absolute favorite game of all time, and until it is ported to PC (if it ever will be) I will be playing it on console.

I have tried making signatures in the past and I could never get them to work (P.S. Awesome Signature).

I have never really played a Sims game besides the mobile sims game, so maybe I will try Sims 2.

It is fun.

I think we should have a Civ 5 TS channel so people with the game can play together. I know i would be right in there.

The comics are better than the TV show, but i love them both. I thought that season 4 was great because it followed the comics more closely than season 2 or 3.

Yeah, I have been tweaking my build and I want a Western Digital. I did some research, and at the $900 budget, it doesnt make a huge difference with the processors. I am going with the 8350 over the i5 3670k (which is about $40 more).

Actually, i switched over to AMD and added a better CPU Cooler. Its still in progress, though. I might keep it at $900 by adding some more RAM, but unless i could get a decent $60 SSD, I won't get one.

After flipping from $800 to $900 to $1000 back to $900, I wanted some feedback on what my build looks like. Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sports 8GB Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM Video Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 760 Case: Antec Three Hundred Two ATX Mid Tower Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 8 0+ Bronze Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB I am getting all of these from Amazon. There is a barebone kit on TigerDirect that is almost identical to this, so if this doesnt work out, I will get that.

I havn't read his books yet, but i own a few of them. I have seen a few of his movies, and I have played some of the Ghost Recon games and Rainbow Six games.

If you aren't building your own, I wouldn't go with Alienware. There is No way of expanding and upgrading, and you can get a superior PC that can be expanded upon for a similar price. I'm going to be building my own, but there are better websited that will allow you to fully customize it. I would check out These: http://ironsidecomputers.com http://cyberpowerpc.com I don't know if CyberPowerPC is going to be good. I have heard some pretty bad things about their support, but Ironside has great reviews and a lot of people like it.

XP was one of the best Operating Systems of all time. It will be missed, but I think that Windows 7 is a fantastic successor to it.

Yea. Aparrently there is going to be a new Rainbow Six, but the release date hasn't been specified. Anything with the Tom Clancy name on it deserved a buy. There is also a Tom Clancy MMO out right now, Ghost Recon Online. Havn't played it yet, but i am planning on it.

Minecraft

Just post a short list of some of your favorite games. I will start it off: Red Dead Redemption The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Call of Duty: World at War Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

yea ty for pointing that out cuz the 4x4 GB RAM is about the same price as the 1x8 and 1x4 i was getting. I would have to check if my motherboard can fit them. Most likely it can though.

I thought it would be good to give you guys an Update on my Specs since my last one was very vague. Case: Full Tower ATX (Brand Unknown as it is 10 years old) Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX AMD Motherboard Processor: AMD FX-4300 Vishera 3.8 GHz Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB RAM: 12 GB (1x8GB and 1x4GB) AMD Entertainments Series DDR3 1600 Power Supply: Corsair GS800 800W 8 0 plus CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO RAM Cooler: KIngston HyperX KHX Case Fan: Came with case So there you have it! I will have this all by the end of October! I am getting this all from newegg.com

I have been playing on the XI servers for probably about a year now, and so i thought that i would make an introduction for updated info. One thing i have done is i have spread out to more XI servers than just Call of Duty: World at War. I have visited the one on Call of Duty 2, and more recently i have started playing on the Call of Duty 4 servers. I am also looking for a clan or group to join (If it needs a mic, i will have one by somewhere in between October and November). I just wanted to give an update so i will see you guys in COD 4 and WAW.

Good news! I have all the money for my parts! I won't be getting it until somewhere in October so i can save a little more for games and such.

If i buy a spendy headset for my PC, I am most likely going to buy a Turtle Beach. They are very good quality at very low prices

I have just decided to buy another 4GB of ram to bump it up to 12GB of Ram instead of 8. PS here is the headset i am planning on buying: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826289003

Well I am back! I had a great time.
