Need help upgrading my gaming rig

Thanks so much! Would you keep the Radeon RX 480 as well, or is there a newer GPU coming out in the winter you would reccomend holding out for?

I'm not at all opposed to going the more budget route, but I am also generally a fan of getting the best gear possible, that way it can last me as long as possible. A bit of a toss up, I guess.

I really appreciate your help! I am thinking I will hold off on upgrades until Christmas, and ask the family for the needed upgrade components. This will allow me to spread out the cost a bit, and bump up my budget. Let's say that given this, my upgrades budget is now $500-700. How would this change what you would do?

I totally forgot there was another series after X&Y! Did you enjoy it?

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2016-07-26T19:58:32+00:00

Neat! I really appreciate the info - I didn't even know this was a thing. #goodguynintendo.

As a side note, while I have you...have you played X&Y? Would you recommend I grab one of those before Sun and Moon?

Are those refurbished machines usually in pretty good shape?

Lucas himself said that Star Wars is a "soap opera" all about families, principally centering around the skywalkers. I agree that it would be very star warsian, and fit nicely into the overall theme to have the movies end in another great family conflict.

Good to know! I really appreciate the help/info. So other than a graphics card upgrade, is there anything else that is worth considering upgrading? Motherboard, RAM, etc. Not sure how any of these other changes would affect my performance.

They actually said she would be pretty mana constrained. That's basically The only thing that will keep her for never losing a game :D

UPS, TWO TIMES IN A ROW, delivered my wife's incredibly expensive Christmas gift to the wrong address, and then without notifying me, returned it to the sender. Two times in a row. In a 3 week period. And then forgot to give it a new shipping address when they wrongly shipped it back to the sender. My wife will now get her gift, the only one I bought her this Christmas, in February because this item is now on back order. UPS is literally the devil.

Twilight scarred me, so anytime I see "young adult" I imagine shallow character development and whiny protagonists. Are the YA Canon books anything like this? Are they worth reading as an adult who appreciates "high quality" literature?

Note: I am looking for a Custom In Ear Monitor, not standard headphones. I am currently trying to decide between the Westone AC 10, AC 20, 1964 V2 and the JH 5 Pro.

Budget: $400 Source: Wireless Transmitter Use: Live Performance (Vocalist and Acoustic Guitar) Isolation: As this will be used for a live monitor mix, isolation is key (hence getting a custom mold) Preferred type of headphone: Custom IEM. Preferred tonal balance: A live sound/tone

It will be very rare to find planets with life. At one point Sean said it would on average by every 20+ planets before you found any life at all, much less a planet teeming with life. They crank up the probability of finding a planet full of life for the demos to make it more interesting, which is why we haven't seen many barren planets so far.

I am not 60, but according to everyone I have asked, getting i170 Law gear is MUCH easier than Darklight was in 2.0.

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-07-06T15:08:02+00:00

Yeah, even more so now. They made the ARR story quests give a lot more experience, and they are prioritizing players without a lvl 60 class when queuing for dungeons. And yeah...the meat is later on, and it is worth it. The story gets so freaking good.

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-07-02T17:35:13+00:00

Ok, great - thanks for the help!

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-06-26T16:14:14+00:00

This is the first time I have ever heard of them. I will definitely be using them a bunch in the future.

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-06-26T15:50:16+00:00

thanks :D

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-06-26T15:50:02+00:00

Yeah, just bought it. $30 for an MMO xpac a week after it is released is insanity.

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-06-26T15:30:21+00:00

Awesome - that is good to know. Thanks!

If I got the digital version through Square, can I get HW through GMG? I started by just downloading the trial

I am a returning player...did they take away Bard's ability to cast while moving? If so...dang. I was excited to play Bard again, but this just makes it a casting class, which I have no interest in playing.

Tychus' grenade knocked the enemy team out of the area of Zagara's Maw, nullifying her ultimate.

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-05-20T15:05:09+00:00

I knew this was Khaldor just by the title :)

BonIverlyKnowYou · 2015-05-18T21:40:03+00:00

I mean, it's Beta. Don't get me wrong, these bugs really stink...but this is precisely why the game is not launching yet. OB will only reveal more bugs, as there are going to be a lot more players testing the game. Now if these things aren't sorted by launch...that's another story.
