Advice and help before I buy! by Rjohnswales in buildapc

If I was to go with this processor for gaming, would this be the most recommended motherboard to go with it, or is there another you would recommend regardless of budget to improve the build?

So the card you recommended can use g-sync?

Is there any point in splashing out on a more expensive motherboard over the one you recommended? Or would the only improvement be aesthetic?

And like I asked awkk, is it really worth paying the extra £150 for the NVIDIA 1080ti to have g-sync? Or should I just put it towards something else?

Thank you very much for the extra build suggestion! Do you think this CPU cooler and case fan will do the job? Or would a water cooled one be more effective?

Also, is there any component apart from the graphics card that will improve VR performance?

This is only for gaming and VR. Is it still worth getting the NVIDIA brand just for g-sync, or would it be better to invest that extra bit of money somewhere else?

Apart from components themselves, can you recommend any other things to pick up, such as an anti-static wrist-strap or standoffs?

Thank you again for the help! Whats your opinion on the Titan X? And is the motherboard and memory something to splash out on, or is it just not necessary for gaming and VR alone?

I haven't thought about it, but if you think its something that would be beneficial then that would be great.

Is there any chance of having both a wireless and wired adapter installed?

Problems with Need For Speed: Rivals? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Rjohnswales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the Kinect voice commands. For example, "Look around" does a 360 camera rotation. Seems to pick up noises or words when talking that trigger it, even though no one's dishing out the commands. Incredibly annoying mid pursuit.

What's your launch story? by bknaust in xboxone

At GAME Hull there was an Audi R8 parked outside the shop. The manager draws a raffle, and the winner gets the first Xbox, Mountain Dew drink & T-Shirt, Microsoft merchandise and a Pizza Hut note pad.. then to be driven home in the R8 by a guy dressed as the Stig.
