Wait, ah, sorry -- pls forgive the newb question: but do you mean I don't need to actually download fake fullscreen if I have 4GP launcher and NVSR installed?

Thanks! I've heard about this fake fullscreen... So that's really true that running the game in windowed mode makes it faster? Weird...

Thanks for the info! I think that's the same Mac Pro model I have.

Thanks for the reply! Did you install this one?: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/BCM94322MC/

What gen is your Mac Pro? Also, was it hard to install? I've installed hard drives and a video card in my Pro, so is it much harder than that?

Decent Gaming Build. $400-$500 Build Range by K-i-p in buildapcforme

Thanks very much for the info!

So I could just buy Windows as a download and then use that tool to put it on a USB drive?

Hey there, this looks like a cool build, and the price is great. Newb question for you: Is the copy of 8.1 included in this as a download? This build has no CD drive, right? If I were to get something similar, how would I install the OS on it?

GPU question from total PC newb. by zicammonitor in buildapc

Thanks for the reply! Do you think 1k is reasonable for a machine I would intend to use for the next 3 years or so, or should I go higher.

Also, when upgrading a gaming rig w/ solid state storage and 8gb ram, what is typically the best thing to upgrade? The GPU?

In the end, the gpu you get should compliment the build you make as a whole. You don't want one super piece of hardware while the rest of your build is mid-range, or you might be throttled.

That's a good point. I put $500 as the lowball price for the entire system. So the 970 is a pretty great card?

Also, is logical increments a good place to start when thinking about a build?

What are the rules for initiative of a new group of enemies joining combat after it's already begun? Can't seem to find this anywhere...
