Someone looking to put together something cheap that doesn't need high end components?

The Waiting Game

well it's not like i've ever tried to pass myself off as some kind of paragon of virtue Except when you tried to tell us that you took a girl upstairs and got blue markers all over your hands giving her a massage. Uh huh. Right. but it's true! man, you guys seem to think i'm some kinda man whore It's not like you try very hard to deny it.

It's too hard to zoom in on the character's butt. Or too easy if you like entering and exiting buildings.

At this point in the life of the cards there is pretty much no difference between any of the manufacturers as they are all offering the same card. In a few months or so we should start seeing models with custom cooling solutions or factory overclocked models, but until then the only difference is the warranty offered by the manufacturer and to be brutally honest, they all have crappy warranties compared to several of their Nvidia counterparts.

The 525W PSU should be just fine for what you are putting in that system. It won't have enough power for crossfire and it may run into problems in the future with more power hungry single cards, however for the time being it should do. Unless you plan on running another 9 hard drives or something similar.

You missed slamming another series first, but the typos were a nice touch.

Well, theoretically you actually talk about the games your are playing a little rather than just listing titles. Share something cool that you just did or how you failed miserably.

I just picked up Etrian Odyssey II yesterday so I've been playing that. I'm only at the second level so far but damn are those monsters tough! The random encounters are pretty easy, but the big glowy orange encounters are just TPK's waiting to happen. With a lot of luck I can kill one, but only if I get a lucky ambush turn and I get more luck from them in saving the characters that can actually hurt them till last. Maybe after a few more level ups...

Buh? Enemies exploding into gibs... because of teddy bears? Even with Bloody Mess that seems excessive...

6 max? I saw someone reporting up to 8 people.

Yodel of Purple Nurples? Indie-Pop of Chronic Fatigue? Melody of Paper Cuts? Not bad. :D

Who needs ammo when you have the gravity gun and dozens of cinder blocks/saw blades?

A gun that fires teddy bears? Those bastards are stealing ideas from the Canadian Military!

Looks like Final Fantasy 13 is coming to the 360.

Skulltrail mobo? Sure, I can believe that. There is indeed one on the market, even if it is $650. 8GB of Corsair? Again I can believe that. Corsair does make 2GB FB-DIMMs so you have enough room for those. Only $320 for that. Here is where you screw up... 3.3Ghz quad core? Doesn't exist. Perhaps you mean 3.2Ghz? That would be the QX9775 which currently retails for $1500. Oh but wait, you have skulltrail? That's a dual socket system! You'll need to buy two of those $1500 processors. Overclocking it to 4GHz if you actually had such a system is well within reach. As for Tri-Sli? Not possible. The only skulltrail mobo out there doesn't support tri-sli.

List of 48XX reviews Forum post on Anandtech that lists a whole bunch of reviews for both the 4850 and 4870.

The only scary zombies in Ravenholm were the fast ones. The normal ones weren't even close to scary.

I just got back from Hellboy 2. Hurray for alcohol!

If you were disappointed by the website update, you'll be disappointed by the trailer.

Do they get a bonus to their hide skill when standing on someone's lawn?

Is it still running at a million miles a second if you refresh? I had that problem the first time I played.

You want to look away, but you just can't...

The interview mentions that they are certainly hoping they can get some of Lucasarts old games, among them the X-wing/Tie Fighter games and the adventure games.
