Busy configuring a BF3 PC for my son for under £300
Should be ok 😀
Won’t be playing at full HD at ultra settings or anything, but high setting will be ok since he’s 10.
Hoping for £280 all in, I’ll see how I do

As for having a word with people who take the piss – How do you define ‘taking the piss?’
Though I don’t get to play our server too often as for some reason my laptop struggles the more on it than any other server I play.
If you have to ask, they’re not taking the piss 😀
I brought this point up in BFBC2, it really pissed me off when people essentially roamed the map with the RPG/CG out, ready to fire on the first infantry they’ve seen. This discussion is going the same way. It’s a pain in the ass, none of us would play that way, but it’s too hard to adminstrate and make set rules about.
It’s gonna come down to if one person is taking the piss, have a word. If they continue to do it and ignore the wishes of the server owners, I say fuck ’em and just kick them.
Fuck social occasion, we are all here, talking and playing. What could be more social. Carry out beer is better priced, better value for money.
AND
When you eventually do go out, think of all the ladies that will drool over your leet BF3 stats 😀
I shall purchase beer for you of the equivelent value of 1 month. Maybe more so I can get you drunk and take advantage of you (in game of course)
Yeah, fuck 3d.
Imo, I think the current gen of 3d technology will go out of date very quickly. I wouldn’t invest for another few years at least until wearing glasses is not required.
Essentially, it’s a hard disk that is made differently, it has very fast read/write times and allows you to load and save a lot quicker.
They are typcially lower capacity and are very expensive gb/£. They are nice to have but by no means essential. They say you can load windows pretty fast, but apparantly windows 8 has a few seconds boot time so when you upgrade to that in a year or 2, that won’t make any difference.
Also, feel free to wait, I’m sure people will chime in and say this is ok, or suggest a slight modification here and there, but it’s essentially a solid machine
It is likely to be onboard sound, so no seperate sound card. You can pick up a good quality sound card for around £70 and they are very easy to install.
To explain the technical things I said, you could go for a slower processor (i5 instead of i7) and you woulnd’t notice any real change in games but overall, the system would be weaker. You could use the money you’ve saved to buy a solid state hard disk, allowing you to load game levels faster.
It’s a trade off, but personally, I’d take the faster processor, especially if you want a system that will last you a while. The had disk is easy to put in yourself later, I mean really, really easy.

Cheers stalker that’s what I needed……I just need a few opinions now to pop up saying don’t buy that piece of shit……buy this
And then I will be properly discombobulated 😆
(just noticed beers pc’s opening ingredient is krypton ? Correct me for being a fool but this was used to bring down superman no ? And there was me thinking he was a comic character)
Hehe, won’t happen mate. I’ve built many PCs and if I was to build one, it would be along those specs. You could probably save a bit of money if you build it yourself, it’s pretty easy to do, but off the shelf, for your budget, you won’t do better. You could maybe downgrade to an i5 processor and get a solid state disc, but that’s easy to upgrade later. You’re best to get the best pocessor and graphics card you can get, and you can’t do better for your money than what I have chosen.
Also, monitor wise, at the lower budget, they are all interchangeable. There may be a better monitor for a few £ more, but they will all be comparable at that price point.
Lol,
Here you go:

Upgrade graphics card to GTX 580 and pick an OS, order, enjoy BF3 at full settings and all games for the next year or so.
Also, for a nice shiny monitor:

Those will serve you well.
Around £1100 all in for monitor and PC.
