#9 LF Sniper Mentor for HL in Mentoring

Usually the medic is the top priority, but sometimes the engi (like on pl maps) or the enemy heavy/demo matter more.

Say there is a group of the med, solly, heavy and scout. Definitely go for the med first and then the heavy. Scout and solly are probably equal on HL, neither matter that much

#5 Mirrored vs. Rotational Symmetry in Map Discussion

Sorry, but what would an example of a mirrored map be? Would that just be that the demo jumps off the right wall on blu and left wall on red (they don't flip in the middle)?

#38 HOWTO: Use yz50/clockwork KonrWings in any HUD in Customization

that's what I intended the crosshair to look like when I initially setup all the font/hud files. it's supposed to have the "none" crosshair overlap to make the sides a little more bold, and give the soldier crosshair those little prongs. if you use my settings I'm not sure how it'll look if you use it on a different resolution than 1024x768, it'll probably be a little off centered.

That looks amazing. Props to you

I guess I might as well mine, since its free, but seems pretty risky to invest money in it.

I used to destroy TF2 with maxframes and basically the same setup. It's a shame the game has tanked so far for a few hats.

If only they let you just play tf2 without all the useless shit.

Actually pheesh is probably right. I'd wait for haswell. That is a pretty good price for the 660 ti. However, honestly amd and nvidia cards are just as smooth. I have compared my system (660 ti) to my friends 7870 side by side and they were both about equal. With crossfire vs sli it definitely is better for nvidia. The amd fx chips are getting way more hate than they deserve, especially when you can grab a 6300 + a decent 970 motherboard for $150 at micro center. $150. That's $70 cheaper than the 3570k even without a mobo.
But, agreed, basically any of these cpus will be fine. Just make sure you get a good motherboard and quality other components. No point in spending big money on a cpu and then cheaping out on the mobo or psu, or vice versa. You want the most balanced build.

The only previous reason to buy nvidia in my mind was for CUDA suport in adobe cs6, but now they have announced they are going to make it work with opencl. People say nvidia drivers are better than amd, but they're both really fine as long as you don't use like beta drivers.

PS about the power hungriness, in that same tek snyicate video they calculated it costs about $15 more per year for the 8350, but that's only in extreme situations (I believe that was like running it all day 7 days a week). And I've heard people can usually get up to 5ghz with the 8350, or at least ~4.6+

edit: also the 7950 overclocks like a mofo, way more than a 660 ti. The 660 ti really competes better with the 7870

If they're still rising you might as well buy/mine some and then sell them once they rise a little

CknSaladI would try to get the Nvidia 660 TI or AMD 7950 for $300. Cpu I would opt for the i5 3570k.

Case is honestly subjective: bitfenix prodigy, sg08, or lian li q08 (mitx), lian li a04, sg09, tj08-e (matx), fractal arc mini (m-atx). Personally if you are only going to have one card and maybe a dedicated audio card with just a few hard drives, I would just opt for matx as mid towers are pretty damn big.

Ram I would go with g-skill as they have been in the business for a long time. 8 gigs at 1600mhz is enough and should be around the $50-65 mark.

Motherboard: I would pay for at least a $130 motherboard (make sure its the 1155 socket if you go with ivy bridge, i5 3570k). Gigabyte and Asus are my favorites probably by far to go with. Asrock I hear is a hit or miss as their quality control can be inconsistent. MSI is a decent cheaper alternative.

Hard Drive: Mechanical drive I would go with Western digital blacks as they are very fast. A good thing to try is a Western Digital Raptor 10000rpm drive with an SSD (Get a Samsung 840).

PSU: This is easy, if you're going with a single gpu setup, honestly a quality 450-550 watt psu is all that's needed as pc components have gotten much more power efficient over the years. Brands to go with are: Pc power & cooling, corsair, seasonic, antec, enermax, rosewill capstone line, kingwin platinum series. I personally would go with gold modular as you get the best of both worlds: good power efficiency and using only the cables you need, which means less clutter and easier cable management inside the case.

Hope this helps!

For psu go with a quality brand like seasonic. For hdd just get segate. You can get a 1tb 7200.14 for $70, or a wd black for like $100. Both work fine.
About the gpu, the 660 ti is a terrible value. I own one and use it in my build, but only because I got it on sale for $230. At the current price ~$300, its not worth it. I'd just go with a 7950 and overclock it. Even stock speeds it beats the 660 ti on most games. (not trying to be amd vs nvidia, its just a fact that the 7950 outperforms it).

3570k - $230
660 ti - $300

vs

8350 - $160 (ish)
7950 - $260-300

The 3570k is $100 more than the amd fx cpus, or even more if you get a combo deal with motherboards. You can find a fx 6300 + 990 fx ud3 mobo for less than the price for the 3570k alone at micro center.

Here's a comparison of the 8350 vs the 3570k. On a lot of games, the 8350 beats out even the $300 i7 3770k
