Everything looks great there Setsul, thank you so much. As for storage, the SSD should be fine as he has an old hard drive and a 2TB external, should be all good on the storage front.

As for the browser stuff I'll test things out and report back if if persists.

Ignore the software part actually, I'll just say he has £1200 and find cheap copies of the programs he needs. Ideally he wants to build asap, but if there's a worthwhile benefit in waiting I'm sure I can convince him.

In general my fps in tf2 is pretty good, pretty sure I'm not below refresh rate in 6v6 but I can check. I'm using the medium settings on mastercomfig atm and it's perfectly playable.

It's more outside of the game that I'm finding it maxing out, mainly watching 1080p60fps videos on youtube or highbitrate streams on twitch, to the point where I can't really do much else on the PC. I've got it clocked at 4.5ghz atm but I'm having to increase the voltage to keep it steady and it's only getting hotter as time goes on, so I figure if I upgrade before it dies I can keep it in an old rig.

Regarding overclocking, it's not a necessity but I like having the option. I'm also easy regarding AMD vs Intel. I've really fallen off keeping track of new CPUs that they have both brought out over the years and have no real idea of who is better to go with in certain situations nowadays.

I will be doing more video editing in the future too, mostly TF2 stuff but possibly other videos for youtube, which would factor into which CPU to go with.

A friend of mine is looking for a new pc, it'll mainly be for video editing (not sure of the res of the video, probably 1080) and some light gaming, nothing more than l4d2 really (60 fps at 1080 would really be all he'd need).

He has an old hard drive, monitor, and peripherals he can reuse, everything else will have to be new though. The old pc was a shitty pre-built that I told him not to get.

His budget is £1200 for the PC, including software.

For myself, I'm considering getting a new CPU/mobo/RAM to upgrade from my 2500k, it's starting to show it's age outside of gaming and I figured six years of service is pretty good. Ideally I'd want at least 150fps in tf2 in 6v6, and something that will help with video editing/rendering as well as streaming. Overclocking would be nice, seeing as it can help with longevity.

I don't have any real budget in mind, preferably around the £500, if that's reasonable for what I need.

I have a friend that just moved to Melbourne last year, this seems like a really good time to go visit.

Two questions, what HUD elements could cause a crash when trying to host a local server? I've started a new edit and deleted a whole bunch of files and now the game won't let me local host offline.

Also where would a crash log be saved?

Yeah but as they are all comp players (like 99% of the people on this site), why would anyone really care about mann power, MvM, robot destruction, Passtime or whatever player destruction is.

Everything above those on your list seem like fair to request, but those game modes are played by such a small amount of the playerbase, that it'd be a waste of time to do.

You can just completely delete the friendscontainer part from main menu, that's what I did and my HUD works fine. 0 lag when I open the menu in game.

A few years ago I used to do loads of demo reviews for lower level players and wanna get back into doing it again.

Preferably combat classes over medic, then I'd prefer matches > scrims > pugscrims. Not gonna review any lobby or pug demos.

These are the old reviews that I did: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOEYou2iEuIUVY4RxYA3Tt5JAhjhA5U_J

Either hit me up in this thread, a DM on here, or message me on discord.

"subbed :D"

Yeah I went and looked.

Premiership scout 'scrab' mainclassed as scout class in Division 1 and I felt very ashamed and yes a little nauseated to be playing on the same team as such a flagrant sandbagger thankfully though we did not win
