heh that makes sense. Either way that thread helps show how much money most people dump into games on Steam.

A lot of people, including your fellow forum users... Here's a thread about how much people's Steam accounts are worth (by how many games they own) - http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153726-how-much-is-your-steam-account/ As you can see almost everyone's account in there is worth several hundred to even thousands of dollars. Must be a lot of pirating eh?

That doesn't explain why valve still makes a shit load of money from steam even when sales aren't going on, which is most of the year. It's nice to not spend the full amount for games every now and then, most people aren't made of money. Have you ever noticed how often the "Top Sellers" list fluctuates? it has to do with making money, and has nothing to do with preventing pirating. AFAIK the game publishers themselves make agreements with valve on how much to discount the game, usually to get more people to buy it Out of my many years of playing games on PC, I've never once pirated a single game. It's nowhere near as mainstream as you make it out to be, which is why you always hear people talking about how many games they've bought off steam, and not how many games they've pirated

Are people really still using the "pc gamers are all pirates" stereotype? Why do you think people lose their shit over Steam sales? If everyone pirated their games then nobody would care

It's always better to go with a single, powerful graphics card

wat All I'm saying is you don't need a $1000 processor for gaming if you go for Intel instead of AMD. Do you think otherwise or something?

yeah, I was just saying that since aussiebobby seems to think you need a $1000+ processor to play games if you go the Intel route

a 4960x is absurdly overpowered for any game

And? A 4770k still beats a 9590 @ 5+GHz

I see what you're saying, but the amount of cores only matters if the game can actually make use of them. Just because the PS4's cpu has 8 cores does not mean games will make use of most of them, that's up to the devs to optimize the game correctly, and optimization does not seem to be a strong suit of DayZ devs. For a game like DayZ, 4 faster cores > 8 slower cores, which I why I said that CPU is more powerful. I'm talking about just DayZ, not in general

That CPU is much more powerful than the one in the PS4, and as you know what GPU you have makes almost no difference in DayZ If they can get it to look good and run good, then fantastic, I'm not against it at all

That's not the desktop GPU you're probably thinking of, it's more comparable to a 7850, which is not very exciting and will quickly become even more outdated as time goes on. While the CPU has 8 cores, they are 8 very weak cores. I'm not saying the PS4 sucks, no one should expect anything amazing from a $400 console. But it's not as good as you're making it out to be. They would have to dumb down DayZ quite a bit for it to run somewhat decent on a PS4, or optimize the living hell out of it. I highly doubt the latter though It'd be great for console players to have a chance at trying out DayZ (I remember how badly I wanted to play the game when I didn't have a PC to run it), but I wouldn't expect anything mindblowing

pls calm down It's always going to turn into a discussion about PC vs console or something along the lines of comparing/contrasting the two, that's just the nature of the topic Did you really expect people to be civil?

It's funny because you're just like the PC master race elitists, except on the other end of the spectrum. You just generalized and stereotyped the shit out of PC gamers.

Lube-cool that bad boy

People, who already have DayZ on PC, are complaining because they don't have a PS4 makes total sense

Try to build your PC away from carpet, like on a wooden table. This is just to prevent static buildup which can ruin components if a sensitive part were to receive a static shock. It's not something to stress over, just be a little cautious about it. I would also touch a metal part of your case every few minutes to remove any static electricity buildup on you Be patient, it will probably take you several hours. If something is making you frustrated, it is best to take a quick break and relax yourself before trying it again. This shouldn't really be a problem though If you want some (more) build guides to watch, I'd recommend checking out LinusTechTips - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8mG-RkN2uTwlcLU_rv29Gt4578XfgJm_ have fun :)

You may want to consider adding an SSD. While it won't increase FPS, it will definitely make Arma 2/DayZ appear smoother and less choppy, and the load times are significantly better than a standard hard drive. An SSD is also useful for your OS and most used programs, as it also significantly boosts the load times of those as well. In short, you won't regret adding an SSD to that build. I would also change the GTX 660 out for an R9 270x. The 270x performs better and is more current gen, and it's the same price. If you can stretch the budget a bit more, then a 280x would be a great option. Other than that, it's a solid looking build.

Should have went with a better power supply. CX series is alright if you're on a tighter budget, but you really should be stepping it up if you're going for a 600+ watt PSU. 750w is also overkill for that build, there are better and fully modular 650w PSUs out there for about the same price. Other than that, it's a solid looking build. The 4670k pairs perfectly with the GTX 770

What power supply did you get?

The AMD vs Intel debate is pointless and only leads to heated arguments (I think there was one here not too long ago in some PC thread). There is no clear cut answer, it all depends on what you do on your computer and what your budget is. "AMD vs Intel" sounds like you're implying one is universally better than the other, when in reality it varies a lot based on the situation damn my jimmies are rustled

Where is the "either" option?

Why the very low end CPU cooler? Seems like money isn't that much of an issue for this build You don't simply buy a 4790k and not even plan to overclock

If you put a PC gamer (keyboard and mouse) up against a console player (controller), the PC player will pretty much always win. The mouse is simply more accurate, more responsive, and you can turn around and make other movements much faster I'm not a PC elitist by any means, it's just easy to tell how much more accurate mouse and keyboard is compared to controllers when you've played on both consoles and PCs a lot

Hold back development of the PC version even more? GENIUS!
