Just get a program to turn the fan speeds down. If the temps are too high then you should keep them at high speeds but its its like 30 c only then its fine

Good tip ^ Will try. Thank you guys.

So just go in and get my ass kicked?

So I main medic and engi (medic in 6s and play HL engi), but I'd like to try getting better at demo and solly. I've been practicing rollouts and stuff, but I'm not sure what I should do, I feel like if I join a pug I'll get destroyed/complained to by my team. Also been going mge but I feel like that doesn't really help, after a certain point.
So should I just join a lobby or pug or something saying I suck at the class, and just go for it? Newbie mix? I don't really know what I should do
edit guess il just go and practice more and try some pugs and shit

Threads, for some reason my overlay is broken. Only have one monitor so I'd have to alt tab out. I'm assuming they have custom overlays?

Get your own or download siN's. Stop bumping it

PUBS. I can't spell. I meant to say just play pubs and get better at the game. I think if you're trying to get into competitive do newbie mixes but if you're totally new to the game you shouldn't do it, practice on mge or dm, or just normal pubs. My point is that you should practice on normal servers, its stupid to just have a bunch of f2ps who can't even do well on public servers trying to do newbie mixes.

If you're that new to the game just practice on pubs (or dm/mge) and maybe lobbies. No point in clogging up the newbie mixes if you're really just new to the game. It should be for learning competitive, not just noobs who think they might later want to get into it.
edit: i cant spell

Why would you spend 2k on a pc and not bother to overclock it? A 680 is one of the biggest wastes of money you could get, a 7970 or even a 7950 would be faster. Hell you could get two of these 7950s for the same price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202030.
For psu go with a seasonic, especially since you're ready to dish out $120 on a no name brand one that's only 80 plus. This one is pretty good with 750w 80+ gold fully modular.

But I guess you don't have to crossfire (micro stuttering, even though its really not a big issue anymore), so than a 900w psu is going to be way overkill. If you need to make a build in 3 years that needs that much power (which it won't since things are getting more power efficient, not the opposite), its more than likely that the technology will become cheaper (like most things in computer hardware). Future proofing your system is stupid. Build it for what you actually need right now, not in a few years. Watch linus' video on it if you don't believe me.. it's just a stupid idea.
The only advantage the 3770k has over the 3570k (which would even still be dumb for you if you're not OCing, get the cheaper non K version) is that it has hyper threading which mainly just helps in video editing and multi threaded programs. For general gaming it won't make much of a difference at all. Definitely not worth the extra $100 you're spending on it...

16gb of ram is overkill unless video editing, or for some reason playing 10 games at once. The only reason to even spend $2000 on a pc like this is if you NEED to play in ultra settings on all of these games on multi monitors. A 7870 with a phenom ii 955 would be able to play any of those games (bioshock, guild wars, etc) fine. Those aren't even very graphics intensive games. Do you need to have 80-90 frames per second in games? Is that worth it to you over say 40-50? The most price efficient price (based on testing, read the tomshardware articles system builder marathon articles, which compare the performance of different price range builds, $600, $800 and $100 and the best value was the $800. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/build-a-pc-overclocking-gaming,3440.html) is $800 approx. For $2000 you're really not getting much more performance for your money.

again the DOA gpus is not because the company amd did anything wrong, that has to do with the manufacturer (msi, asus, gigabyte, etc) or the vendor (newegg, amazon, etc.).
Do you have a 120hz monitor to be able to view all of this at? If not than you definitely shouldn't need a 680, unless you're doing 3 monitors at 60hz.

Wait i thought all those fov things could allow you to do wallhax and crazy shit like see behind yourself. I'm going tostick with the stock 90 degrees that looks sketchy.

thx :)

Lol ^
