#3408 PC Build Thread in Hardware

SetsulExcellent, so the mobo was definitely worth it.

Yeah low end TN panels do that. It's hard to find reviews for budget monitors so I'll have to go mostly by specs.
Flicker-free VA/IPS 23.6" or 23.8" should be a good starting point. Then there's still two choices to be made:
1. Curved or straight, which I guess comes down to preference.
2. Which features you want on top of that. Adjustable height, tilt, etc. if you need it, FreeSync (no eye cancer with 24/25 fps if your player doesn't deal with that), 8 bit instead of 6 bit + FRC (in theory slightly better colours) or stretching the budget and getting a combination e.g. for 8 bit + FreeSync there's some options around 110-120£.

Yeah it was 100% worth getting, I'd recommend it highly, so far.

1. I'm really not sure, for watching movies and such I feel like a curved monitor might be better but I'm honestly open to either.
2. If I can get a couple extra features/a better experience for ~£10 - £20 more then an 8bit + FRC type sounds good.

SetsulOut of curiosity: Did you have to update the BIOS?

Anyway, this depends a bit on what you think are "pretty good colours" and whether you want 24". 1080p is a given but both IPS and 24" would be difficult. 24" TN and 20-23" IPS are very doable though.

Yeah I had to update the bios, but with the "flash bios" button on the back of the mobo, it was entirely painless to do.

I'll be honest and say that my knowledge of monitors is pretty limited, but the last monitor I had (BenQ v2420) was just kinda lifeless looking. The monitor will mainly just be used for watching movies/tv shows on, so I don't mind dropping from 24" to a slightly smaller one if it means an overall better viewing experience.

I went for the RAM that you had in your list, and ended up going for https://skinflint.co.uk/msi-b450-gaming-plus-7b86-002r-a1858940.html?hloc=uk and the Seasonic PSU.

Everything is running nicely, but, here we are less than a week after I bought everything and my secondary monitor has died. So I'm looking for recommendations on 60hz monitors with pretty good colours that won't break the bank, budget is ~£100.

#6101 HUD editing: short questions, quick answers in Customization

duck_https://puu.sh/EfxHI/f9028d4d80.jpg
i was able to figure out that the team colors for the tournament spectator ui is controlled by the borders under
TFFatLineBorderRedBG and TFFatLineBorderBlueBG. Where is the part that modifies the gray background that shows when a player is dead?

I'm not 100% sure but I tihnk it's TFThinLineBorder

#6099 HUD editing: short questions, quick answers in Customization

OctalblockAnyone know how I can change the font color from "ItemEffectMeterLabel" from the file "Resource/UI/HudItemEffectMeter.res"?
I can't seem to find a way to do so. I know it's possible as I've seen some other HUDs do it, but as soon as I see what they did, I try to replicate it and fail to do so.

Not 100% but bgcolor_override or maybe fgcolor_override might work.

duck_https://puu.sh/Ef8K9/e40948665f.png what files besides spectatortournament and spectatortournamentguihealth modify the tournament ui because I remember that it is modified in another location.

You could try editing the entry for Scoreboard_TimeLeftLabel in chat_english.txt to not have any text at all.

Pretty sure targetID will have an effect on the target ID that you see from spec. I think there may be one or two parts of the other spectator res files that can change stuff too.

#3 Dark souls sale in Other Games

DS1 is honestly one of the best single player games I've ever played, I highly recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind a bit of a challenge. The world design alone is worth paying for just to see, let alone the replay value of doing different stat/meme builds, also some of the speedrunning tech isn't that hard to do but can make for good times.

bijlol_KermitHudHintDisplay in HudLayout.resthanks man

actually I can't seem to change the color and fontsize there. is there any other file?

Might be Orange or OrangeDim in clientscheme.res, but changing that colour might mess with things in other parts of the HUD.

#3402 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Yeah that all seems good to me, that was the RAM that I had been looking at/reading reviews for as well actually.

The main thing I had 0 idea about really was the motherboard, so as far as mobos are concerned, I'll take your word for whatever you suggest going for. Though I'd rather not have a mobo that's brown, I don't mind spending a bit more, up to like ~100 or so for a different one.

#3400 PC Build Thread in Hardware

SetsulYeah, but you still can't afford a better GPU so that'll have to wait. Not great for Destiny 2 but at least there's still plenty of time until Cyberpunk is released.

Overclocking yes/no?
Full ATX or µATX?

Yeah Destiny has become more of a backburner game anyway so I'm not terribly bothered now, should have mentioned that. At this point streaming/video work is more the focus of the build than straight up gaming.

I'm open to the idea of overclocking, I've done a bunch with my current CPU, but with Ryzen I don't know if it's worth going for. Whichever you think would be best really, if an overclocking board is overall better than a non-overclocking one, then the OC board is the choice to make.

As for form factor, I'd prefer full ATX. I had also been looking at the below case and might take case fans from my old pc.

#3398 PC Build Thread in Hardware

_KermitYo, I'm looking to build a new PC around a 3700x in the near future and am looking for advice on a build, I've not really been keeping up to date with most tech stuff.

The build will be mostly for games, mainly TF2, Dota, CS:GO and souls games, probably some Destiny 2 which literally maxes my current cpu out lol. I'll maybe play Elden Ring/Cyberpunk too when they're out, but no idea of how demanding they'll be. Aiming to get at least 200+fps in TF2 and at least 150 in Destiny 2, the graphics don't need to be maxed for Destiny though.

I'll also want to stream all these games at some point, which is why I felt a higher core count could be beneficial. It might be a bit overkill, but if the PC is gonna last as long as my current one has done, I may as well go overkill now and maybe get a bit more longevity.

I'll be doing some video stuff as well and will want to render at 1440p60 hence going for the 3700x instead of 3600x just for some more cores to use while rendering. Unless I'm mistaken in how many cores can be used to render videos.

I already have storage (850 EVO) and GPU (RX 480) sorted as they'll be reused from what I have now, will be looking for everything else, including a new case and PSU.

Budget is ~£700

It's been almost two months now since I posted about wanting a new PC built around Ryzen 3, and my own pc is starting to die, so getting a new pc is becoming more of a priority. Any chance prices have settled enough for a decent build to be put together at this point?
