The biggest problem I see with it is that only some plat and some Gold teams would even attempt it and that is only if they still get a prize at the end and the medals that valve gives after each season.

If the prem from 6's also transfers over to highlander then I don't think it would be that huge of a income increase unless players would have to pay for highlander and 6's separately which means I certainly would not be playing ESEA highlander. Seeing as most plat and gold teams have ESEA players in them if they would have to pay separately for highlander then no way that is happening and if they don't have to pay separately then I can only see ESEA losing money.

Also if a team wins and there is a cash prize each player will win less money so it would only make sense to have 12 or fewer people on your team with 9 starters and 3 back ups max.

The only way I can see this working is if ESEA can also get Euro teams in the same league which means matches with people having 360 ping while the other team has 30 ping. There would be more money, more teams, and more lag.

It just wouldn't work out, sorry mate.

I actually found this artical on tomshardware:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/overclock-core-i7,2268.html

It mentions that the most logical overclock for my CPU would be 3.66 or 3.33 with lightspeed on which brings it to about 3.55 if I remember correctly.

With the harddrive switch will I be able to keep my Windows 7 operating system, mircosoft office, Autocad programs, etc? pretty much the programs I would have to pay for if I completely reset my system that are essential to me because they are what I use for school and need at all times. Would my old harddrive essentially act like an external hard drive or trash it?

Thanks for the help everyone! Thanks Okas for the help as well! See you all in ESEA open next season =). Have fun in the mean time

Why the hell was my team put in Gold when we requested to be placed in Silver and then delete my posts on the forums about the issue as well, along with blocking me when I tried to add you to my friends list to talk about it.

Looks like I will get a video card, PSU, and fan/heatsink in the next up coming weeks. Along with a SSD, and CPU cooler once I figure out which ones I want and save up some more money. Will I be able to move the data stored on my current hard drive to the SSD or will I have to start from scratch?

Currently looking at the 660ti because I want to stay with NVIDIA, 750 watt Corsair since it seemed to be the most recommended brand name/ if I have further upgrades in the future and I'm not sure about the SSD as I still need to do research/look at reviews/ see your opinions since you all know much more about the inner working of computers then I do. Last is how will I be able to overclock my processor more than 2.93 GHz? Is there a program for that or will I have to modify some things?

If it had not sold out so quickly I would have come over and joined as well. Will I be able to come if I pay up front at the location? Any other one in PA around the Harrisburg/ Philly area soon?

What would be a recommended power supply that would be able to run my set up with the above upgraded card, extra fan, and how to overclock my CPU that much along with finding a better CPU cooler?

I can't find the power supply brand on my computer, but from looking at others reviews, the power supply is the worse part of this computer and anyone that upgraded actually needed to get a new one and the addition of another fan.

I have updated the original post with more info.

Would I need to get a new power supply as well if I upgraded my video card? Also how can I overclock my CPU to 3.8 GHz? Last do you think I would need to get more fans or a new tower since mine only allows either 1 or 2 fans.

p.s. Where can I find the timings for the Ram?

I have had this computer for quite a while now and I was wondering anyone recommends I upgrade parts or the whole based on the specs from below:

Harddrive - 1 Terabyte
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Processor - quad core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67 GHz, OC now 940 @ 3.66GHz
Memory - 9GB DDR3 RAM
Operating System - Windows 7 64_bit operating system
Power Supply - 500W Peak
Keyboard - Razer Lycosa
Headphones - Razor Carcharias
Wireless adapter - Belkin n300
Motherboard - Rampage II Gene
Monitor - BenQ 2420 (I just ordered this and it is coming next week)

If I missed anything I think it will be in this link

Thanks for the help and best wishes to all in the ESEA playoffs that are looming.

The original post hasn't been edited in a while so I don't know if it is still up to date, but do people still recommend the LG W2363D-PF? I just purchased one because it is one of the cheaper 120hz monitors and had good reviews and I found it on here recommended. Seems like a good product at a good price.

SC2 and Shootmania: Storm. Other than esports I follow all sports as well at the professional level.

I feel like the songs were a little slow and really didn't match the clips very well. It was an ok video because some of the clips dragged on too.

Goodness gracious Carnage is good.

He has great aim and movement and he is a cool dude. Pick this guy up.
