Unless you are completely confident in your ability, I strongly suggest that you find somebody knowledgeable and experienced to help you. And get a big case. That makes it much easier, but even then it's a major pain.

Good luck.

Yeah, I've got a couple buddies that are long time PC gamers/builders. Might have to offer them some booze to help.

Definitely. And make sure it's top shelf. :thumb:

I will build you a custom rig to your exact specs for $150/hour. Just ship all the stuff directly to me. :D

Sure. But don't pay the ferryman til he gets you to the other side.

For sure. They would probably to it for free, TBH. These guys love building.

I think once you got good at it, it could be fun. But it's something I do once every few years, so while I remember what needs to be done generally, I forget the little details. And those are what can turn it into a nightmare.

One other thing - you may know this, but I'll mention it just in case - make sure the components you buy are compatible. Certain types of RAM, chipsets and boards won't work well together, or perhaps not at all. You can't just buy stuff because it's highly rated or has the specs you want. Definitely do your research first. Another issue I had last time around was with the case, which I specifically picked out because of it's size. The processor fan was just a little too big to fit where it was supposed to go, so we had to switch out several of the preinstalled fans to make it work. That was annoying as hell. There's always some stupid shit that can trip you up.

My point was to not get your rig builders drunk while they are in the middle of assembling it. The mistake rate tends to go way up.

Fortnite Save the World major Hero Change patch is here, I may play that again in the distant future.

Gonna do some research and make a decision on this this summer.

I have to disagree. Youtube a couple of build guides and you can be pretty confident. If you can put together legos, you can put together a PC. No moving parts, just snap in pieces and a couple of wires.

Playstation is heavily promoting DAYS GONE a PS4 exclusive. Anybody have any thoughts? Feels a little bit like the Last of us?

developed by Bend Studios, it does look really nice.

Kind of different direction.....but I just finished a season of "super mega baseball 2" on PS4.

It's been years since I've played a bb game on PS (as I got too bored, too quick typically.....with long games, slow pace, etc. etc.).

It's actually a really fun game. Pace is very quick....has a "mojo" system for whether players are 'hot' or 'cold". Lots of season stats/leaders, etc.

Gameplay is just plain fun. Lots of control....you can change jersey colors, names, player names, looks, etc. Stadiums are fun too.

For those of you who've been around a while - it reminds me of baseball stars, with next-gen graphics, controls, etc.

For about 10-12 bucks on PSN .....great value.

Days Gone is something I'm very interested in playing.
