  1. i losed
  2. because the host might not be able to accommodate you. 10mb/s is a LOT of bandwidth, and oyu also live in Romania. I assume you're using U.S. websites and the only reason that speedtest is great is because it's going off of a server fairly close to you. Try changing your Steam location to a close one. Also you usually don't get the best speed off of torrenting. I have a 512Kb DSL line and I barely ever hit 50kb/s on any downloads.

    the only respect i have for this picture is the shit that guy is wearing as it has the TARDIS from Dr. Who and the DeLorean from Back To The Future
  4. Which one to get?

    red
  5. New Rig

    You are paying way too much for your case. $139.99? Why not just buy a $60 coolermaster and call it good. New products on the market don't heat up as much as they use to. Mobo is a bit costy but w/e. Ram is a little high as well, you really need 8GB?

    forester it's fake.
  7. Dear Potshot

    why does it seem like you're some kind of gatekeeper for OFT? srsly: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/off-topic/47360-go-f*ck-sleep.html#post604271 http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/off-topic/47393-so-i-wondering.html#post604551 http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/off-topic/47345-new-flavor-month-spiral-knights.html#post604059 (i only call you out on this because you shitposted one of my threads >:[ )
  8. Dear Potshot

    sure.
  9. don't lock yet- not enough furries
  10. er yeah i just grabbed off the wiki 50,000 dead AND wounded
  11. 50,000~ people gave their life for a good portion of us to have a better living, if you don't like america, that's fine. but keep it in politics. just because they've been dead for 200 years doesn't mean we shouldn't respect even e-threads commemorating them
  12. Summer Jobs

    I work at a golf course for about 8 buckaroonies an hour, mostly just mow teeboxes and approaches and whatnot, nothing too hard. (i just suck at it) during the summer i dont work at my retail job as much (no paid vacation, just a vacation to work fulltime at the golf course) you guys earn a lot more than me :[ i take home like $800/month tbh.
  13. I'll be your dog.
  14. nvmlol
  15. Take the combo deal and instead, just buy the individual parts and instead of buying that PSU buy: Newegg.com - CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply you'll go slightly over budget but honestly the thing is that you can't get much cheaper t han this and be able to run ARMA 2. That requires a lot of beefy power
  16. Replace Phenom II X4 with i3-2100 and the AMD mobo with a intel socket 1155 compatible mobo and use that. also don't use Caviar Green get a Caviar Blue or Black. Other than that it's good. is there anything your friend can re-use? like a dvdrom drive or a hard drive? that would reduce the price a lot. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.661393 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162056 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 $592 after rebates on card and combo deal (shipping not included cause im lazy) that combo deal is hot as fuck too, that's way cheap. also you can get windows way cheaper somewhere just look around (or just torrent it ffs)
  17. ventrilo seems to be able to handle lag a lot better imo, it'll just keep downloading and send the messages eventually (although in a giant bomb) and on the other hand, mumble seems to cut the mic so you hear absolutely NOTHING when you lag, because it's trying to compensate.
  18. crackhouse dm. also tf2 is almost ALWAYS full. it's awesome, you seed for about ten minutes and matchmaking gives you like 12 people.
  19. Venom you just mad you lost the favorite admin >:]
  20. Dear Steamgamers

    fucking botnets, how do they work?
  21. enabling that plugin would ultimately just kill the server anyway, we've tried tf2 before (and once before that too?) and it died, so i mean f2pers are really your only shot to becoming even remotely filled.

    The problem is that the motherboard on the combo deal has 6GB/s SATA slots but not 3gb/s and i dont think you have the 6gb/s wd caviar black (because you current mobo wouldn't support it), the 2nd motherboard in your post seems to be fine, but can you check what your hdd just to make sure that it's SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s? because you'll need to make sure it's not 1.5Gb/s as none of the motherboards you've posted have SATA 1.5Gb/s compatbility. I dunno, but it's possible too that Sata 3Gb/s would work in a 6Gb/s slot but I'm not even 10% sure on that and I wouldn't even try it, I've tried googling that shit before and never got a straight answer so I doubt it. Newegg.com - Open Box: MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard So this mobo you posted is also Open box, but it's got 2 PCI-E slots so you could SLI a second GTX 460 down the line if you wanted to, but if you wanna put money on an open box that's fine, but you only get a 30-day refund on those or you can send it back to MSI for a RMA (i don't know how long theirs last but it's best to assume it's a 1yr replacement warranty) CPU is great, you're fine on that side. Ram is a no-go, however. it's just that you're buying triple channel ram, but your motherboard only supports dual channel. this is okay, you can still run it in something called "flex memory mode," but that means you won't get 3x the memory bandwidth as you would with triple channel, and you wouldn't get dual channel because you'd have that third stick. like i said, this is fine, but it's could be possible to get a better deal Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL it's dual channel 8gb, and the third best rated ddr3 ram on newegg, and g.skill isn't usually defective from what i heard. also more gb than what you wanted for the same price ;) though corsair does make some good ram as well. the clockrate is a tad bit slower, but dual channeling the ram would definitely make up for that.
  23. we like harry. sgt church not so much
  24. UNBAN THEM BRO

    unban kappa.
  25. New Processor

    Okay yeah it's up to you, if you wanna drop the money on buying new parts you would definitely need a new cpu, ram, and a motherboard. a small jump would be the i3-2100, that's a dual core sandybridge cpu, it's an alright cpu. but the i5-2500k is, like i said, the best budget cpu. the motherboard you'd need would probably be around $70ish and the i5-2500k is about $219. the i3-2100 is $124. the ram you'd have to rebuy cause it'll be DDR3 most likely, unless you buy a DDR2 compatible mobo (useless considering DDR3 rapes the fuck out of DDR2) 4GB of DDR3 ram is about $80. 2GB is about $40, etc. this is really up to you, but it'd be around $350 (my original estimate) for this pack. and a little more for shipping and you'll need thermal paste. in the longrun you'd benefit a lot from a i5-2500k (overclocking this baby would allow you to handle games for a good while). so it's really up to you. a cpu for the lga775 socket would be like $200~ for a decent one and that would probably be as 3/4 as efficient as an i3-2100.
