This board is dead and sucky and shitty. It's almost like the next-gen consoles killed the activity here.

We can't even finish the damn end of the year awards thread

1. People are disappointed and quit playing?
2. People can't stop playing?
Dude the next gen shtt really is terrible. I know the library are still small for obvious reasons, but Shadowfall is the only game ived purchased. Nothing out there and nothing is coming.

That still isn't finished?
WOW
The GB Awards usually has some classic reads and is the life of the board for one month.

So much to discuss... so much sooooo much. Well looks like Kaveri is finally here. This is what we have been waiting almost 3yrs for! The true 1st gen APU which can compete with dedicated cards like 7850.
My Lian Li Steam Box is ready for this chip, already have a FM2+ board installed.

Kaveri is that next iteration in line which uses an updated FM2+ socket from Richland and the architecture is updated for Q1 2014.
AMD are attacking with Kaveri on four fronts:

Things are coming out fast at CES. As for next gen titles, I think they are coming, people were just too hopeful to think they would be here already. I don't think it will really pick up until late 2014. Until then there are a couple that may make a splash like titanfall.

AMD has counter to gsync
I am interested to see how well it works when they get it up an running. They talk big but sometimes don't deliver. Of course it is like nvidia to have something simple and sell it at a premium. I love competition.

A friend of mine is looking for a cheap build. I know that both of you have linked budget builds in the past, is there anyway that you can link one of those. He just wants it to play Elder Scrolls online.
Thanks as always!

What is his budget?
I'm asking for others' sake, because I am about to go back to bed since my meeting is over. My brain is of no use at the moment, so someone else will probably get to it before I do.

1st Option - More CPU Power

You could go much cheaper with the case, but I couldn't recommend something that I wouldn't burn on site personally.
AMD FX-6300 - $109
ASRock AM3+ 970 - $64
MSI GTX 660 2GB - $189
WD 1TB SATA III 7200RPM - $59
8GB (2x4GB) TEAM 1600 - $69
Corsair CX430M - $29 (MIR)
Courgar Archon Black - $39

SSD Boot Drive
Try to encourage him to spend extra cash on a SSD, solely for a boot drive and programs. Everything else will be saved to the 1TB HDD.
ADATA 64GB Premier Pro - $69

Alternate Graphics Cards
Switch the cards below with the cards listed in the builds above. This is to give you nVidia or AMD, whichever is your preference.
AMD HD 7870 GHz 2GB - $189
AMD R9 270X 2GB - $204
Now we can all build him an APU machine which could game "okay" on non triple AAA titles, but you said he like Skyrim. So a dedicated GPU and 2GB is recommended.
It is barely over his budget, but I didn't scrape the bottom with these parts. He will be putting quality parts into his PC.

thank you my good sir

I concur with his suggestions. If you go any cheaper, something will get too severe of a cut in quality or performance.
Posted on 1/7/14 at 12:39 pm to LSU Coyote
how much of an upgrade is that 270X compared to that 7878?
Posted on 1/7/14 at 12:40 pm to LSU Coyote
One 780 ti Classified is sitting on my desk waiting for me to take it to it's new home today.

Where are the blocks =)
My cards hit the same on Air as they do Under Water, soooo... lol
I just cant take the noise from the cards on Air though.
