let me know your specs when you can. Like I said, I've got some spare parts. Maybe I could help you out a bit.

EVOLghost 11.11.2016 12:04 PM

Yeah. I figured it doesn't need much if nothing too crazy is going on. I don't care too much for graphics(they're nice n all but....) so I'm not expecting anything visually amazing.

Thanks. Man. It's a real frankenstein I tell ya. I took an old PC from work and gutted the sucker. Picked up a few things to just let it run a few things and yeah.

noisereductions 11.11.2016 12:11 PM

word. I have like 7 or 8 of those in my basement. People tend to give me their old builds in exchange for helping them upgrade or fix stuff or whatever. So I always tend to have a bunch of extra un-needed parts.

I know I actually even have a few older GPU's around. Nothing amazing, but maybe better than you currently have.

there's nothing shitty about AMD processors last i checked.

and like i said there are GREAT games that are 20 years old

I just really like a lot of the changes they have made to it. While some are quite simple, they still impact the overall strategy tremendously. The districts element is so amazing. It really makes you strategize overall city building and layout instead of just maximizing tile improvements around your one city tile and forgetting them. Wonders take up their own tiles. Also, builders are not limitless, but have "charges" you can use them. I thought I was going to hate that at first, but once again I love how it adds to the gameplay. being able to combine units again, but not in massive quantities is really nice. Just...a lot of really nice upgrades to the gameplay that really add to it overall.

Shit. I saw this, I thought I replied to this thread. oops. Anyways...this is dope. I kind of want to do the same(except one just for me). I want to have a cabinet for my own board(when I purchase one). There's these things called Superguns, where it's basically a console for your arcade boards. This guy in Chicago recently started making them and selling them. I want to pick one up and buy a SF3 board, and hopefully others too, but for now I'm simply looking for a reasonably priced SF3 board. So yeah....if I get one I\'m hoping to build a sit down cab similar to the Japanese Candy cabs....that's if I doni't find one on the cheap.



Anyways...I came in here to post some new items I bought. After talking about PC's in this thread, I thought well fuck it. It's about time I upgrade my CPU. So I splurged a little bit.

Asus Motherboard
Intel i5-6600K CPU
16gb ram.

I still have my 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD so...yeah...Also...Microcenter is pretty dope. I'm pretty sure my CPU came out to $150. If I'm not mistaken it was 179.99 over the weekend with $30 off if you buy the mobo with it. But either way....$30 off instantly on top of like another $30 off from rebates....not bad if you ask me.

noisereductions 12.06.2016 04:54 PM

nice upgrades dood. That i5 is legit and can be overclocked as well.

You still gotta let me know what you're rocking for a GPU. Like I said, I have a couple of older ones collecting dust, but could possibly be of use to you.

EVOLghost 12.06.2016 05:15 PM

Definitely man. Let me just put this sucker together and I'll let ya know!

!@#$%! 12.06.2016 05:40 PM

my secret vice... been playing clash of clans for 2 or 3 months now

i like it

_slavo_ 12.07.2016 05:29 AM

Skyrim on PS4. Good fun after all those years.
I like them action RPGs

noisereductions 12.07.2016 08:23 AM

Skyrim rules. I fire it up every few months and lose large chunks of time just wandering.

EVOLghost 12.08.2016 11:31 AM

Errrr....actually. I think I used the integrated graphics on my old PC. I'm going to put it together this weekend.

EVOLghost 12.08.2016 11:47 AM

Last night I went to the arcade for some SF3. They're having a private party this Friday so I figured I'd get some of the crew in to get some games in for this week. I was able to play my friend Adam for quite a while and learning more of the unusual matchups. Anyways...I'm somewhat proud of how I played last night. While I fucked up a lot in crucial moments, I was able to slow myself down later and execute what I had intended. I really need to buckle down and sharpen the edges on my game. There's a High Stakes tournament in January and well as of now there are 7 entrants...and I know two of my nightmares will be there. Adam has been playing since 2nd Impact(literally...I'm pretty sure I mentioned this somewhere but Im' too lazy to look). Anyways it's him and my 'rival' Quentin attending the tournament in January. I believe Omaha's scene might probably be appearing too and they have this player, Simon Woo I believe, and he's been playing since the golden days too. Anyways...I think top 3 pays out...so yeah...gotta play out my mind that day.

the 2nd part though i comprehend-- congrats on the upgrades sounds like a sweet deal!

i purposefully tried not to look at this last time because i'm having a ton of high expenses right now and i didn't wanna suffer a sense of deprivation ha ha ha

anyway i'll still have to wait to buy but i'll glad to hear things have been refreshed-- apparently for the better? i'll have to wait and see.. ha ha ha ha... but yeah still looking forward. maybe by the time i buy i'll manage to score some discounts
