Be EXTREMELY cautious when you make it up to the airfield. It has a lot of sweet gear, but other than the main towns on the coast, it is probably the most popular area.

If you just run straight there I doubt it takes you much longer than 30 minutes. It just depends if you want to investigate the towns along the way, which is what Forenci and I did, thus why it took us a hell of a lot longer to make it all the way up there.

Honestly if you run straight towards it...I'd say about 20 minutes max. Really doesn't take too long if you avoid towns and such. Just be very careful.

I honestly have had better luck going into servers with very few people (usually because its night time and no one can see) and just popping some flares at the airfield to get stuff.

There is just too many places people can hide and shoot you during the day at the AF.

AND DAMN IT CADDY! YOU NEED TO FINISH UNI STUFF! I have wanted to play but am waiting for you!

That might be the best deal in the history of ever. Purchased it the second it got posted. I already owned Bastion and Limbo for the Xbox, but Psychonauts, Sword & Sworcery, and Amnesia are well worth the $25.00 I gave to charity. The soundtrack to Sword & Sworcery is supposedly amazing as well.

I'm having a ton of fun with PCSX2. I ripped some copies of some of my PS2 games yesterday to mess around with it. My computer can't quite run some of them the way I want to without a graphics card(I think I'm waiting for the GTX 660, supposedly coming out later in the week), but I can do 3X scaling when I'm overclocked at 4.2 Ghz. Really something I recommend checking out. Great way to replay some older games at nice resolutions, without having to pay for them again.

bantx · 06-02-2012, 04:26 PM

I've been hooked back onto starcraft 2 delaying me buying arma 2 and I'm dling grand theft auto right now for pc because some times you just want ot wreak havoc on a city every once in awhile.

I ended up biting on a GTX 670. Went with the Gigabyte Windforce version since it was literally the only one that I could find on the internet that was reasonably priced and wasn't shipping from California. I would have preferred the Asus variant, but I couldn't find one for a reasonable price. I had one in my cart on Newegg and it was gone by the time I went to checkout. The Gigabyte version is supposedly competitive anyway, with plenty of room for overclocking.

bantx · 06-04-2012, 01:35 AM

Nice get some pics up when it's all up and running!

The only thing with Gigabyte is that they tend to use cheap ass cooling solutions. You might consider an aftermarket GPU cooler with that card.

Good luck with your build!

I already have it mostly running. The i5 3750K has integrated graphics, which work far better than I expected integrated graphics to work. It can handle Diablo III at 1920x1080 at medium settings at a playable frame rate. Granted, that's not a big time game to stress a card out...but most everything else I've tired on the lighter end of system requirements has run pretty well at decent settings. It's really wouldn't be all that bad of a graphics solution for someone who only wants to play games occasionally.

But yeah, I'll get some pictures once the video card comes. I still want to work on my cable management a little bit haha.

That's kind of surprising to hear since I bought the card based on what I heard about the cooler. I'm not really familiar with Gigabytes reputation though, I've never bought anything from them before.

It doesn't look pretty, but it looks a whole ton like one of those aftermarket coolers.

Neweggg's youtube guy and a few other sites had some nice things to say specifically about the cooling as well.

So hopefully it goes well. I don't really see why it won't, but after the first motherboard I purchased was DOA, I decided to order it on my Amex card for the protection program. They warranty it from basically anything for 90 days. So worst comes to worst, I've got that. Seems like a nice option for ordering hardware or any expensive tech really.

ImBrotherCain · 06-04-2012, 10:00 AM

If any one wants to come over and do some cable management on my machine I will gladly pay them for their troubles.

bantx · 06-04-2012, 10:08 AM

Heres a picture of my cable managemet the other side of my panel doesn't give me much room so I had to spread out the cables to be able to close it back up.

Also I made a youtube video for my build lol I'm going to start doing game streams to my youtubes for games like diablo, starcraft 2, and minecraft and make some youtube moneysss. Also do some photoshop, premier, illustrator tutorials on basic stuff.

But here is the vid for my comp
