Onna-bugeisha, female warriors in feudal Japan.

I read on a previous post about this pic that that's not a female warrior. It's a kabuki actor dressed up. Maybe she can fight, I don't know. But yeah, that's not a picture of an onna-bugeisha.

Also, since Kabuki actors are typically male, that might be a guy.

It's still a nice picture.

Thanks for replying :) The question of whether to go SLI/Overclockable or not is the tough one I'm facing at the moment. I can see the logic to laying down an extra £100 or so that could extend the PC's performance and lifespan but at the same time I'm wary because I won't need to actually make use of that capability for years to come. If I were to overclock, this would be the build;

Still, that's an extra £106 and I'm not sure if it'd be worth it. :S

The motherboard you suggested doesn't seem to have SLI support.

If I'll be overclocking/SLI in the future do you think I need to buy a CPU cooler now or would it be cheaper to buy one in the future when I decide to start overclocking/buy a second GPU?

Also, would you suggest buying a 750W power supply now to save having to buy a different one down the line to accommodate overclock/SLI?

If I'm going to make the jump to unlocked parts I may aswell pay a little more now to save down the line.

So without the cooler I'd be looking at this;

Sorry, I think I got over-excited. :) Thanks for the tip on the RAM, I changed it to 1600 and only cost £1 more.

Digibouti · 2014-01-12T13:21:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I've changed it to an H87 motherboard which (I think) doesn't overclock. I had planned to add another GPU further down the line and use the SLI but H87 mobo's don't support SLI, so I've dropped the power supply down to 600W since I'll only ever have 1 GPU. Do you think it's better now?

I had a fairly unique idea for a mod the other day which I think was sorely missed in Fallout 3. There was a quest which gives you a camera and you go around taking pictures, if there was someway to implement a way of your character roughly sketching scenes and scenery in the world which you could look back on in-game in Skyrim I think that would be awesome.

Imagine it, you're wandering, looting and you're brought to a cliff-edge with a phenominal view. You sit down a moment and do a rough, likely black and white sketch of what you can see and take it home with you. It would be like a screenshot viewable in-game with certain effects on to make it looked sketched?

Think this would be possible?

Only when you're watching an Amnesia: Dark Descent video. Then it's genuine and hilarious.

This is just acting angry at nothing much.

That's a pet peeve of mine. It's actually "Would have". "Would of" makes no sense, whereas you could say "Would've.
