For that sort of money, keep your comp and bung your wife the 6grand to get under the table and do it for you.

She may even treat you to something with the 6 grand. Result.

Resolution

Two resolutions are defined as UHDTV:[1][2][3]

4K UHDTV (2160p) has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (8.3 megapixels), 4 times the pixels of 1920 × 1080 (2.1 megapixels).
8K UHDTV (4320p) has a resolution of 7680 × 4320 (33.2 megapixels), 16 times the pixels of current 1080p HDTV, which brings it closer to the detail level of 15/70mm IMAX.[2][9][10] NHK advocates the 8K UHDTV format with 22.2 surround sound as Super Hi-Vision.

The p in 2160p and 4320p stand for progressive scan or non-interlaced.

SLI titans? Ffs that's just showing off. Shouldn't cost 6 grand though, unless the extra is for the power supply. Seen a water cooled set up for about £2700 with a titan and 16gb ram etc etc. but 6k seems to be a hefty premium. Triple 50" screens included?

my rig is now:

Case: Carbide 200R
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77-HD3
RAM: 8GB 1333 (Kingston or something)
CPU: Core i5 2320
PSU: Seasonic 650W
HDD: OCZ Agility 4 128GB SSD
HDD: Western Digital 2TB 7200
Sound: ASUS Xonar DS 7.1
GPU: (now) Sapphire 7850 1GB

Connected to a LG IPS234 23" Monitor and my 42" LG TV (can't find the model ref)

Happy enough... for now

Mine's fucking ancient, got it in 2007, core2duo at 3.2ghz, 6 gb ram and with a 1gb gtx 280 replacing the older 8800 a couple years ago it still runs fc3 fairly well. Using a 23" 4:3 ratio crt at 1600×1200 rather than an lcd.

"i'm gonna wreck you so bad we're going to have to change church"

I just got selfish and have a bit of cash at the moment (not a lot - mine's a solid midrange erring on budget build. Lots of second hand parts).

Mine operates at 720 no sweat, can play higher but games like Metro: Last Light bum out. Was considering an i7 but from what I can tell, only really worth it if you're doing high intensive shit like video rendering. So thought I'd upgrade GPU to be able to play at 1080. Played Metro for a couple of mins at 1080 and was like "Woooaahh..."

Your GPU is better than the one I'm currently running (6770)

That was pretty much the case with me, hence a puter that can still run the latest games. The gpu is about 2-3 years old, the 8800 was replaced under the extended warranty i took out. Best 120quid i've spent.

Nice, my dad's just bought some hyper blu RAM for my old rig. I can't comment on the performance yet (he bought 2x2gb) but they're so lovely to look at. Was rebuilding my old comp with bought parts for him before. That RAM is lovely.

I forgot my other stuff

Generic 300GB HDD

This controller (I've had years of console playing):



And my general mouse is this (love it):

i like that mouse...
i have a thrustmaster joypad, and a g25 steering wheel too, that is collecting dust...
Used to batter GTR2 driving/race sim..need to get that or R factor rocking again..
yeah the ram looks cool...im gonna sell out and get some lights in it next week, might as well now..
ive got 2 seagate external drives, 320 and a 700 gig that are full off movies connected to western digital media player live..top buy off fleabay a few years ago..

and obviously virmin media tivo box and well you can see the speed of my connection..i can stream decent porn with that..



We need to talk about my mate andy, and his SKYBOX F3....google it..hmmmm
Its probs the next thing im going to get....its basically chipped up sat tv from ..err you know..
you need a BB connection and your away .
120 quid he paid, after forking out 500 nicker on a motorized dish thats now redundant ..
gets box nation all the sport movies the lot..

We tried to have Sky installed when we moved back home. There's fucking trees (protected) in the way so even though we wanted legitimate sky, we can't actually have it.

I use my sisters SkyGo login and there's always the option of streaming if that fails (using a VPN would help avoid the throttling from ISP's after 6pm). Just bought this PVR actually (the missus misses Neighbours since we haven't had Sky+).

Still considered to be one of the best, got it on ebay for £93

Humax DVR Fox T2

Oh, and the Marble Mouse is awesome. I sit with it on the arm of my settee (my monitor is on a 3ft cantilever arm I pull round whilst I'm sat down). Keep toying with idea of getting a Marble for work

playing and really enjoying this:



In the middle of this also:

How you finding lastlight coods..it looks pretty nice.
another ive not got around to playing..

Still playing and enjoying far cry 3, and Grid 2..my time is limited tbf..

but that metro last light looks lush..

Full E3 sony presser..11/06/13

Some f' me games for the ps4.
final fantasy 15 looks beautiful
Watchdogs looks mint too.
Drive club a company from runcorn are going to make me buy one just for that..

too much to mention really.

but i will say this..X Box one has just been bent over and done dry right in the kiester...
With its issues recently reported, as in having to sign in everyday, paying full price for a pre owned game, and that being coded to your machine and all the rest of the sneak fuck stuff microsoft are doing..
the PS4 is going to piss all over it...


oh mad max......

it's stunningly good looking and plays really well. Nice blend of horror elements in there. I really like it but some of the later levels bugged me a bit, purely cos it's dark as shit, my gas mask is on a timer and I've no idea where to go. Have to confess to using a walkthrough a couple of times.

That's not a criticism of the game, just that I'm not a fan of levels like that. Love that you can stealth most of the way through it and get lovely headshots.

Playing this at the moment (after completing Gunpoint - which I heartily recommend, loved that game):



This is just pure fun. Good natured and really fucking addictive. I've whiled away 3 hours on this without realising I'd done so.

Back to Tomb Raider when Last Light is clocked. Lost my save when I installed my SSD (it doesn't recognise the backup). No biggie

This is a good read:

http://www.geek.com/games/10-reasons-why-ps4-already-has-xbox-one-beat-1558476/

Although multiplayer online will now require you to own a playstation plus account (£££)

Got to say though, I'm gonna stick with my PC. I'm running the same graphics card as the PS4 has (7850) and have 8GB of RAM (going to upgrade to 1600Mhz this month). Although the PS4 massively appeals, I could spend that money on further improving the PC (7850 in crossfire or maybe a 7950/70), PC games are cheaper (or free if you were into pirating), Steam always have sales on etc.

So much more sense to stick to PC gaming.

We could be playing at 2560x1440 at 60FPS for the money of a PS4
