Thanks guys. Will def change the HDD now and look into the CPU aswell.

Thanks hiro.

Won't be overclocking at all, really have no experience with that and it wont be needed TBH. He Isn't that hardcore of a gamer.

Hey guys. My cousin has in mind to build a PC primarily for gaming and I put together a list for him. Im by no means a PC wiz so I thought id post here to get some feedback. The parts he needs are, Case, CPU, GPU, MOBO, PSU, RAM, cd/dvd drive, HDD. His budget is approx 800usd. Monitor and mouse and those extras arn't included in his budget.

Ok here's what I threw together.

Case - Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower
MoBo - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
GPU - ATi 7870
RAM - GSkill 1333 8GB
DVD drive - some cheap asus drive
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB (dont have much experience with SSD, maybe you guys can help)
PSU - Corsair TX650 (this probably isnt enough)

"This should be more aerodynamic"

Very nice. Epic combo.

Ok, ok, ok. I hated the V8, but OMFG it is epic fun at Bathurst. Been a while since I had this much fun banging out practice laps by myself.

Managed a 2:07.9 on a full tank.

Bathurst + Mx5 is epic

HB fil.

Im struggling because of my dumb pedals. And I just cba to practice. But thanks for the video.

This is very borderline, but funny....

If you have sex with a prostitute without her consent, is it classed as Rape or shop lifting

Give it a shot at Montreal. It is very hairy at Spa.

It's a blast at Montreal. Really enjoying that track with every thing I've tried so far.

I'm enjoying the Lotus alot.

And not to mention Long Beach. Tech track or not, after a couple laps banging around in the Vette right on someone bumper, I totally forget about the missing scenery. Long Beach is alot of fun.

The sound is irritating.

The Skip Barber can only get better. (I hope)

Well those videos look................ stunning, to say the least. Does make me want it now.

Quote from Rappa Z :

Like, I could live with the pay subscription if I didn't have to wait until a certain time to grab a race. I'm a (surprisingly) busy person, so it's hard to get some time to drive. Then, when I finally do, chances are I'm too tired to bother.

Yeah I see your point man.

Quote from Rappa Z :

I subbed about two weeks ago. Every time I tried to race, the servers needed maintenance. Now I can't run at my license level because they moved to tracks I don't own.

This will most likely be the last time I subscribe to the current structure of iRacing.

It's unfortunate that it happened just when you had re-subbed. Most times its just for a couple of hours anyway.

But what structure do you mean exactly?

I guess they could've left GT Challenge with the MP4 alone, but Im glad the Vette and GT are only in PaGT now.

(I'm kinda gonna miss the fixed , but there should be some damn good racing in the GTs next season.)

Guess we could kick it off with this.

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Now, how many are excited about Montreal thats coming out in a couple of weeks, finally another real F1 track added

Should be pretty good. Not that I'm probably ever going to drive the F1 on it but I still think it's an enjoyable track.

I also really wanna try Long Beach (tech track, I know)

So then it wasn't a typo.

Yes of course my post was intentional
