  1. Its with an A isn't it. My life revolves around math not this english bull shit Mr. Network Guy
  2. Ive built a few, I was just curious what the price differences were on an exact replica so I put together all the numbers and provided it thats all. - Its also a matter of, the time spent building is time I could have spent working so it may end up being worth less to build it. All depends The last windows I ripped off was probably about 7 years ago that im still using from a fake boot usb that I changed the reg keys for. I thought for once I would just buy a legit one, unless you know of another way Sweet, ill take a look at it
  3. Hi Everyone, I appreciated everyone's help on the other thread I made so I put together some notes I took down on the price differences incase anyone was wondering. Its essentially around a 300 dollar difference to have it prebuilt. If you take into consideration the free game, free rgb lights, cheap keyboard / mouse you could argue that its a 150-200 dollar mark up for it being built. I don't think most people will give a shit about any of those things though. Write up: Prices: *******Building myself******************** 1. Prices through one single merchent: Amazon was generally the best - 1,263.33 without video card , 1,763.32 with (1170 estimated 499.99$) Amazon has combo deals that end up making this the cheaper route if you dont want to deal with rebates. (Or they may be a bonus even). 2. Prices through combined vendors Mix of 3 - 4 vendors saves you roughly 40 bucks (And most of its mail and rebates), $1725.53. If you don't count rebates its actually more since amazon bundles cpu and mb -> 1768.55 Note: This is with the 4 year warrenty on MB, Ram, CPU. + Video card warrenty would be 3 years for 8.92 or 4 years for 59.85. I would probably add the 8.92 lol. ~ $1734.45 Benefits: - More selection of parts , which in my circumstance I love a certain case and want to wait for the 11 series card. - Amazon deals and CD for my own windows for future reasons. - No Shipping nightmares as amazon is usually pretty good with that. - Quick easy returns. Cons: - Building it my self in a small area and the time consumption. - Would have to hope I manage to snag one of the 11 series cards with all the competition when it comes out. - Individual part ownership basically. - Not as professional as the company who does it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pCsGP3 - Please note I wouldn't actually use the video card listed here. I just put it as a price comparable to what the 1170 will be estimated as. ******* Prebuilt ****************** 1. CyberPower PC had the most reasonable prices while having some choices that were still cool Price with premium warrenty (19$) + Ultra Packaging Protection (19$) + Thermal Paste ($10) + Professional Cable Wiring Care - $2088. Price without any of the above $2021 Configuration#: 1KLN42 (http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1KLN42) Benefits: - Free Game ~ 40$ value - Free RBG Lighting - Optional keyboard + mouse for cheap (Most people wouldn't give a shit but at work it never hurts to have another keyboard / mouse). - Don't have to build it, and quality of build is from professionals rather than my self. - Software is already installed and updated - One stop place for warrenty and support (Provided its not shit). Cons: - Warranty: Warranty Coverage - Company warrants to the original purchaser that the Product(s) shall be free of any defect in material or workmanship for a period of three years for labor and one year for parts from the date of the original invoice from Company. Company shall have the sole discretion in determining whether Product is covered under the warranty for labor and/or warranty for parts. Should the Product(s) supplied by Company prove defective by reason of improper workmanship or material as reasonably determined by Company, Company agrees, at its option, to either repair or replace the Product free of charge, excluding any shipping or handling charges. - Case is a full tower instead of a mid - will be a pain in the ass for current set up. - Risking shipping your entire PC built. - Takes minimum of two to three weeks before shipping, god knows how long it will take to ship. - Prices may vary when the 11 series comes out and they could get jaaaaacked up or you are forced to go with a video card option for now. - Essentially costs 250-300$ for them to build it.
  4. Changed topic so I didn't waste space with another thread. Thank you
  5. God that sound like a nightmare. - I can build a PC with my eye's closed but its just the area I have to work with it would take me 3 or 4 hours to get it built and installed properly so I was thinking in terms of 4 hours working vs 4 hours building. Ill post the number of a comparable build in a second here - you kinda get forced into buying a GPU though which would be kind of stupid to buy a prebuilt right now with the 11 series coming out. (Although I could just give the 1070ti to my brother or something)
  6. Well ive built three on my own, loved every minute of it and had no issue's. The problem lie's with the fact that I just got promoted at work and in two weeks I a bat shit schedule and I was thinking to my self either I need to build a pc now or look into buying one prebuilt because I won't have the time after that.
  7. Thats because there's an NVIDIA conference that should be happening (today I think?) to announce the official release date of the 11 series cards. They also promised to get stock on the 10 series cards and moving forward they would get more cards in gamers hands for the new 11 series
  8. Yeah, thats a big thing for me nowadays. I just can't spend all that time gathering individual parts online or driving to microcenter to find out one is acting fucky either right away or down the road. I like the idea that you can just contact one source for it all
  9. I would probably wait until they released the 1170 anyways but I just like to get a game plan before this kinda thing rolls out. If the prices are jacked up on rebuilds at the time of the 1170 release I may just build it my self otherwise prebuilt if theres reputable vendors
  10. Ive built three my self over the years and it has always done me good but nowadays it would cost me more to take time to build it then it would to just show up to work and have someone else build it. Yeah I had a feeling when they title everything with "Professional Brand" lol
  11. Edit: Changed the topic rather then make a new thread. You guys are always so helpful. Anyways, I was trying to find reviews on Cyberpower PC's warrenty to see how it is but I couldn't find much. There website states the following: " Warranty Coverage - Company warrants to the original purchaser that the Product(s) shall be free of any defect in material or workmanship for a period of three years for labor and one year for parts from the date of the original invoice from Company. Company shall have the sole discretion in determining whether Product is covered under the warranty for labor and/or warranty for parts. Should the Product(s) supplied by Company prove defective by reason of improper workmanship or material as reasonably determined by Company, Company agrees, at its option, to either repair or replace the Product free of charge, excluding any shipping or handling charges. " - Which basically says if they deem it okay theyll replace it otherwise good luck. (Unless im stupid). + TLDR: Anyone know firsthand or have experience with their warrenty's?
  12. Maybe at one point in time, but the last thing I want to do when I get home is have some dribbler playing cav get no kills
  13. I get your frustration as its annoying to lose your gear but I wouldn't let it bother you. The clothing / y inventory you lost isn't worth much and you would make it back in the time it took to make this post. On top of that you have to understand that this little activity pops up once in a while and its a way for the governor to make his money back from what they invested in their "Campaign" as they get paid per death row member killed. It boils down to a fun activity thats acted upon by greedy corrupt governors and it is meant to steer the votes for the next election. Its also old as fuck as others mentioned. As for the APD getting buffs and updates well that maybe true but lets look at what that boils down to. You have a cop force full of people who don't know each other that well and aren't ideally comfortable playing with each other. This means there already at a disadvantage on top of the average rebel loadout compared to a cop loadout. It's up to you want to fight cops who are half brain dead and poorly equiped all the time but just remember eventually they will quit and there will be none for you to fight. As for the rebel tree, yeah its in a list of things they want to add, but lets be honest what the hell would you want out of a rebel tree? Some special talent that takes 10% off your mark 1? I don't think some silly talent tree is what you all want, I think you would rather more content and a stable place to play. The less shit you add the better the server performs.
  14. Nah, I still love siege and ranked is one of the most enjoyable parts of it. I just dont play as much because I refuse to play without atleast 2 other people on my team that I know
  15. I use sennheiser ear buds 90% of the time https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQ17SKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The other 10% of the time when im playing siege ranked I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JP436TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Love both of them, but a side note they came out with Corsair Void Pro's (Wireless and wired) recently if you are still into that style headset.
  16. Its more a matter of principle - why would you pay the same price for something thats two years old when it will have a new model for the same price. For me that annoys me enough to wait personally
  17. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1070-ti/ If you are absolutely dying in need for a video card buy it through NVIDEA's website for the best price. They will not last long, 449$ for a 1070 ti is about the best fucking price your going to get right now. They will announce the 1100 series I beleive on may 30th at the NVIDEA press conference where they will basically confirm the release date of july/august. If you don't know those specs or have any concerns here is a link to the leaks. https://wccftech.com/873853-2/ If you are not in dire need of a video card you would be a wiser man to wait it out and try to get one of the 1100 series on release or possibly bank in on a price drop from a 1080 / 1080 ti. I don't know exactly the benefits of GDDR6 vs GDDR5 but the specs are relatively close between an 1170 and a 1070ti so you wouldn't be a fool if you decided to settle for one now nor would I blame you if you wanted to wait and try to scope out a newer card. However remember these types of things are based on stock, miners:to:nvidea-gamer-clause being an actual thing, and just pure luck at the time of release purchases. One other thing to possibly help your decision - the 1070 ti and 1080 ti are the only cards from the 10 series that aren't going on two years of age. I would try to stick with one of those two if you can't wait / can't manage to snag one on release. (1080 ti will still likely be the best card for some time to come unless this GDDR6 technology is insane - as I dont know shit about it).
  18. its not a montage genius, its one clip. It's also exactly where a clip of rainbow six would go. I don't think ive ever seen someone on 60 fov using ash with a red dot and a silencer but nice clip lol.
  19. I think they should go with my plan from the start: 1. Go Rogue start deleting all of their friends off of steam 2. Rip off the Olympus mission file and start deleting shit out of it , moving stuff around, and adding a couple asylum things 3. Deploy it and call it like 9.0 then say that all the donations were for great servers and they changed the map based on people's opinion 4. Throw all the skins made up on a donation and say they need money to pay for the new servers to hype everyone up 5. Get all the new money from step 4 and go buy a gold watch 6. Get a gym membership so you can work out with your watch on and make other people think your cool as fuck 7. Call Leon cause he loves watches and wants to know where you got it 8. Host a gang tournament so you can steal olympus players and then laugh when envy wins again 9. Remove anyone thats been an admin since synergy has been around except Badabing and Clint Beastwood. 10. Add Leon to admin and get a deal with gatorade and be set for life
  20. Oh shit, im guessing that they prescribe that for people with lower levels?
  21. Its a 50/50, any adult won't be able to make it but any kid will
