Hello everyone,
Pesty needs a new computer. I'm tired of all the blue screens and the lag during high particle fights (Pesty is no basic bitch like Falazar). The computer I have now I got shortly before Tera came out. It was a budget computer so I'm sure there were better options out there when I purchased.
I need to take the plunge to make things happen.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I should get?
-Pesty

Okay. Sometimes I'm impulsive. I bought pieces to assemble a computer at home. I've never done so before but I have someone who can help me.
This is what I bought:
(power supply and OS already at home)
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0, 26% Cooler and 36% Quieter Cooling Graphics Card 04G-P4-2983-KR
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)
Intel Core BX80646I74790K i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10)
ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A/USB 3.1
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)
Seagate 2TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST2000DM001)

That's really close to my custom. Same CPU, GPU, and RAM. Only difference is I went with the 500GB SSD and went without the extra HDD. I normally don't play more than one AAA HDD-hog at a time, and don't do any video editing or stuff like that to warrant the extra space. I also went with the 240mm liquid cooler, just because I could. I crammed it all in a micro tower too (thank God for modular power supplies).
The only problem I had was the power supply is too close to the integrated sound card on the motherboard, so I get a feedback 'hum' when the computer is off and my speakers are on. Only when my PC is off, though, so it's a minor annoyance.
How fun is it maxing out settings on games that you used to have to turn off shadows just to play? |

Honestly, Ecchi, I have no idea how to even maximize the settings. I'm just happy that I never have any issues during high particle fights and that I don't blue screen anymore! I'm not very tech savvy.  |
