General discussion

And now he is slightly asleep on a SKype call... (awkward)

 

uhh, damage was one propeller... €1,-

Thanks, it's got a steeper learning curve to it compared to rc cars.

 

I'm sorry i've been kinda of a shitty douche in the forums lately . I hope i am still acceptable here

 

Finally i got my build..
I'm using my savings and my father gave me some money for it.

It's not fancy, but i'm very happy with it.
Thanks for all who help me answer some question that i didn't know before.
Any thoughts? (problaby not)



EDIT :

I brag it to my friends by sending this GIF picture =P

 

Source 210, I like it, plain and refined rather than "ehrmagherd all the angled edges and blinken lights"

 

Yeah, I choose because it's cheap, simple and looks reliable

 

I finally found the file path for Blender... Didn't find any autosaves anywhere in it though...


EDIT: I also somewhat patched the hole now... Maybe I'll just restart everything I've made for this project and try modelling it properly.

 

Maybe next time take the picture in a different direction...

 

What CPU did you get?

This is why I love the Corsair Obsidian series. They look great without the "LOOK AT ME IMA GAMING PC I HAVE LEDS AND SHIT" style you find in most high-end cases.

NZXT Source series is also really nice on the budget end.

 

Talking about building a PC, any suggestions on this? I've also gotten an additional 2.5'' 1TB HDD for it.

If you can afford the extra $25 for a 4690K, go for it. If you can't, save some money by buying an H97 board.

Edit: If you ditch the SSD you can get an R9 290, big performance boost. I'd recommend doing this as you can buy an SSD later.

So it would be better for me to get the 4690k and buy a h97 instead of a z97? Also, is a 600w PSU good enough? I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a 600w or a 700w PSU.

 

600w is good enough. Don't get a 4690K with H97. Either get 4690K/Z97 or 4690/H97.

I added to my post, if you ditch the SSD you can fit an R9 290 in the budget.

Oh alright, I'll see if I can go a bit higher for 4690K/Z97.
Also, thing is the HDD that I have is a 5400RPM so ditching the SSD wouldn't exactly be a good idea, I'd need to buy a 7200rpm or 10000rpm instead of the SSD which would cost me more.

 

You can always buy the SSD later. IMO a huge graphics boost is worth more than shorter loading times.

 

Thing is my main goal is gaming as you might notice and the HDD needs to be a bit fast to actually load ex. GTA resources fast enough, because right now the biggest problem I have is objects not loading which has to be because of my HDD if I'm right, so I'd need a faster HDD for it to actually work properly. Not sure if I'm right tho.

 

Only a propeller... Well that's not anything serious lol. And your welcome.


Also, @ Occam's Razer, I got the valve thing pretty much fixed now. Just one thing that didn't turn out good but is only visible really close-up. I'll have more questions as well and I don't want to fill General Discussion with my Blender problems so I hope you don't mind if I send you PM's...

 

Objects not loading is caused by hitting the video or system memory limit, at least in GTA (IV).

 

IDK then, I've got enough RAM (8 gb) and I'd expect 2 GB VRAM to be enough, so it'd be either my HDD or VRAM then. Still not sure

 

If you're modding the game, 2GB is not enough. A slow HDD shouldn't cause that kind of problems.
