#676 I've updated some huds in Customization
fnmOkay, cool. I just tested it however, and the mainmenu is just a blue screen. Additionally, when I loaded into a local server, the screen is just covered pink... Not sure how to fix this. Some of the buttons are also messed up, when you press tab.

You need to extract the default HUD files. You can do this by running 'extract_base_files.bat' in the solarhud root folder, then copying the solarhud folder into your custom folder. This downloads some default HUD files which solarhud uses as a reference in its own files.

ambroonPlease update solar hud.

It's not really outdated; Stochastic merged the Light and Dark branches into the master branch with "themes," which is updated as of October 24th: https://github.com/Stochast1c/solarhud.

He just hasn't updated the TF.TV main post.

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

My last question is, should I get the Fractal Design Core 1100 for $35 or a used NZXT Phantom 240 for $40 (potentially lower)? As a first time computer buyer, I'm hesitant to buy used off craigslist in case there's something wrong with the part that I won't notice, but the Phantom seems to be way below retail value and better for future upgrades(?).

EDIT: Can someone let me know if I got my monitor situation right? Acer AL1619 C, I currently use VGA to connect to my laptop. My mobo has DVI & HDMI while my GPU has DVI, HDMI, & DP. Am I right in getting the DVI-D to DP, or should I be using HDMI/DVI adapters? Will the DVI-D to DP support 1280x1024 @ 75 Hz?

SetsulIf nothing else Kaby Lake should mean old Skylake parts will be cheaper. So waiting is a good idea.

Is there a more precise timeframe for Kaby Lake than "early 2017?" How much will it drop the i3-6100 by? I'd definitely get the i3 if it was just $10-20 cheaper right now, if I have to wait until May or something I'd want like $40 cheaper.

I don't think looking good and having tool-free installation (which will only matter for one HDD you will install exactly once) excuses not having dust filters, only one fan and a non removable drive cage that blocks air flow.
I'd have to check which budget cases are cheap atm. In terms of asthetics would the Core 1100 be ok?

Oh okay, the 200R was just picked as a recommendation on Logical Increments, and I saw the 100R which was $8 cheaper and similar overall. The Core 1100 looks fine. Are top-mounted PSUs something I should avoid?

Techspot doesn't retest so that result is still with the godawful launch driver where the 460 was all over the place. With proper drivers the 460 is about as fast or faster than the 950 in every game (barring gameworks gimmicks) and not 30% faster in one game and then 30% slower in the next.
There's also the whole "unlock to 1024 Shaders" thing going on so that might give anyone who gets it to work another 10%.
Point is, it'd be good enough for what you want so if you need to shave money off somewhere and can find a cheap 460 that's where I'd start.

Right now it's only a $10 difference between the 460 and the 1050, and the 1050 still has better performance. According to Logical Increments, nVidia GPUs outperform their AMD equivalents in Overwatch specifically by ~10%. Are either of these going to drop in price soon?

Maybe in 2017 AMD will actually have launch drivers that do not suck and nVidia will stop releasing drivers that kill GPUs every couple of months. One can only hope.

I am concerned about nVidia drivers potentially killing GPUs. Should I be avoiding the 1050 on that alone? If it's not an issue, I'll probably get the 1050 and the i3-6100, potentially waiting a couple months if the price is going down more than $30. If it is an issue, then same story with the 460 instead?

SetsulWhen are you going to build?

I want to buy it before Christmas and build it at the end of the year/early January, but if I can expect good savings I'd also be fine waiting through Q1 2017.

What settings are you going for?

I'm open to using the lowest possible settings. My main requirement is Overwatch at 75 FPS min, but of course I would love to be able to play in native resolution (1280 x 1024) or even 120 FPS min if I ever get a 120+hz.

I'm not a huge fan of the 860K for games, even the cheap Skylake Pentiums beat it in that and the more expensive ones even win in multithreaded.

I've heard conflicting conclusions comparing the 860K to something like the G4400. I'd like an i3-6100 but it's an extra $50.

Not a fan of the 200R either, not at that price.

What would you recommend? I don't know much about cases, although I am interested in the aesthetics. The 200R looks good and has tool-free installation.

1050 vs 460 depends on what you call "considerable". Should be single digit percent difference. I've seen the 460 go as low as 80$, when that happens it's hard to beat.

"Considerable" is based on this Overwatch benchmark.

This is v2 of my list. The case can be replaced with something cheaper/better, the motherboard I have no idea. I am considering an i3-6100; would that be worth the extra ~$50? What kind of settings could I expect with the i3-6100 vs the G4400? Also, would it be worth applying for the Amazon Rewards Visa for the $50 discount if I don't plan on using it often, if at all?

#1949 PC Build Thread in Hardware
murkscribeI'm not setsul , but these are my opinion (even if they could be wrong and questionable) with the introduction of the 1050 ti and 1050, and also rx 460. the 750 ti is kind of pointless to get, unless you have a really sff case. since the the price is the same like a rx 460 and gtx 1050, but its outdated architecture and its 2.5 year old now and getting to be 3 years old now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125920&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Card+-+Nvidia-_-N82E16814125920&gclid=Cj0KEQiA-MPCBRCZ0q23tPGm6_8BEiQAgw_bAk-knz6hinPgoYX-cRv6TwiOqXYDFbziD-Xo6mr1pZUaApoQ8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

look up on https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ this as well as you can find really good deals as well, such as windows 10 for $77. or better yet buying an os from kinguin instead for much cheaper.

Alright, thanks for the pointers. I've updated my initial post as follows:

Replaced the GTX 750 Ti with the GTX 1050, since they are the same price apparently. Should be considerably better than the RX 460 for +$13 ($109.99 vs $96.99).
Re-sourced Windows 10 to Kinguin. Is it a safe bet? Should I spend $5 for buyer protection?

#1946 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Could this build run Overwatch at 75 FPS minimum? I'm willing to use the lowest settings, lowest resolution, and the best performance config. I originally picked based on this guide for Overwatch and items from the 'Modest' tier at Logical Increments, with modifications suggested by friends:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor ($57.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 100R ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99)
Power Supply: EVGA 400W ATX Power Supply ($29.99)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($23.99)

If this build can indeed run OW @ 75 FPS min, would I be able to cut costs? I'd love to hit $400, whether that means skimping on non-essential components, buying used/pre-built/bundles, or even just waiting a couple months (I understand $400 could be unrealistic since I include the price of the OS). I've managed to cut costs below $400, but with a sub-optimal CPU. Would love to get the i3-6100 while staying below $400, but 75 FPS minimum is still my main objective. This would be my first time buying/building a PC, so let me know if I fucked up.

EDIT:
#1949:

EDIT:
#1952:
Swapped the 860K for the G4400, and the mobo/RAM for compatibility.
Changed the case from 200R to 100R.
Downgraded PSU to the EVGA 400W.
I'm contemplating the i3-6100 for another $50; will it make a big difference?

#9 hi looking for tek36's hud in Customization

fyi the KNHUD you linked is not the version in the video. The version you linked is Hypnotize's update of the original KNHUD, while the version in the video is KNHUD 2.0 (with modified damage numbers).

Here's my mirror of the last official update of KNHUD, which was May 29th, 2013:

sendaieraBecause you still want 90 vertical FOV /You are attached to the stigma that fov_desired 75 is inherently bad.it is inherently bad, are you retarded?

75 FOV has benefits and drawbacks compared to 90 FOV.

I still don't know what I want to do with the uber besides not put it on top of the medic's face

Maybe put it below the medic's name. When people want to check the ubers, they usually look for the medic panel by locating the class image on the left, then look for the uber percentage. By putting it on the opposite side of the class image, this process takes a little big longer, especially since you went against convention and made the uber percentage less prominent than the other text labels.
