Raw

Calling it, SKT gonna win worlds again. But NA The shutdown on C9 was quite easy for SSW, hope H2K can make it at least to semifinals to have hope restored for the western countries.

Entries now closed! Good luck everyone who is playing!

Cannot bet on other teams ;)

Only a little bit of time left to sign up! Everyone can sign in!

Hey everyone, Tomorrow is the LoL tournament, and I wanted to do a competition. What you have to do is fill in the form down below to enter the competition. The winner will be picked after the last match on sunday! U can sign up now, and I will close the signup tomorrow 8th october on 5:30PM GMT (18:30 GMT+1). Winner will be decided at first who guesses the winning team. If multiple people guessed the right team, I will be looking to the team k/d of the last match played in the finals. The one closest to that, wins. If that is not enough, I will be looking to the person who guessed the total team gold of the winning team in the last match from the finals. Person closest to that number will win. RULES: If you play the tournament, you cannot bet on other teams because of possible matchfixing. Make sure to tune in on the stream! Saturday starts 6:00 pm, Sunday 5:00 pm. If you don't like LoL, just watch that stream for some great twitch chat memes!

Since this is a LoL tournament i wanted to have a big prize on LoL. Since some of you don't really care about LoL, they can spend 5 Euros on steam. The prize comes out of my own pocket.

- What websites do you usually use to buy digital goods such as games/cd-keys, cases/keys, skins etc. (other than Steam & you can choose multiple options for this question) G2Play.net - How often do you buy from there? (On Average, e.g once a week, once every 2 months) Few times per year (around 10), whenever i want a game. - What type of things do you buy? (Optional Question - You don't have to answer but would be helpful if you do) Games, ingame currencies, Runescape membership - On Average, How much do you usually spend per purchase? (Optional - You don't have to answer but would be helpful if you do) For currencies around 10 euros, games max. 45 euros

Good one, will add the explainations later today when im back home!

I would never recommend SLI to someone since it uses way more power, requires SLI support on your motherboard and it gives microstutter in games. Also, not much games scale well with SLI (check benchmarks) so not worth the buck 80% of the time. Also you would never have to use SLI on 1080p and 1440p. On 4k, the GTX 1080 is able to get 60fps on good settings, and i call that the point when people might should look into SLI if they want to go to the max. Since this guide is mainly focussed on newbie's, i don't want them to go for SLI compared to the problems it can give, and since many here still game on 1080p. Nty :)

To start out, in The Netherlands, English is litterally everywhere. If you watch a serie on TV, it is in English but subtitled in Dutch. Also, a lot of new words that come up with technology and hypes are stolen from the English, like smarthphone (we don't have a Dutch word for it, if we had, it would be slimme telefoon = smarth telephone which makes no fucking sense). I started to learn english from watching TV, playing games on my PS1/PS2 since there are 0 games in Dutch. In the last 2 year of primary school, we had lessons in English continueing in high school, and even on college/uni we have lessons and books fully in English. To focus on me, i learned English primarily from gaming and TV since there is no way to get around it, and to even use it. Besides that i use it quite common for work and to communicate with tourists (too many here). Also, in the Dutch and English language there are a lot of words the same, or they look like each other which also helps alot. In the case of grammar, I still suck afaik but i think my English in general is good when it comes up to writing and mediocre in my speech. The point where OB helps out is mostly in speech, and to get rid of that shitty dutch accent everyone hates since you start to copy what others do like you got an accent where you come from, mostly because of your parents but somehow you will get rid of it. To summary it, English is quite easy for me to pick up, but it is also not possible for me to go around it. Still don't know why some people's english is still shit in the Netherlands after hours of TV and Netflix. On another note, since i live quite close to the German border, I do also speak German. Had class in it on high school, but also when i go out for shopping in Germany i have to use it alot since germans refuse it to talk other languages or they cannot speak it. Wouldn't say my German is as good as my English, but it's not bad.

1080 is a great card. What resolution are you playing on? If u got 1440p or 4k, YEAH DO IT. But on 1080p it would be a bit of a waste. GTX 1070 should fit more there, but hey if u wanna upgrade your monitor...

That's indeed a good cooler, will add it to the list! Exactly what i am planning, otherwise this guide will not work :P

Hey all, To start off, there were created a lot of help me build my pc topics recently, so I decided to make one big topic to help you all out. This guide is meant to be for people that don't know much about computers. I will cover what to buy and what not to buy and what to watch out for, and what you should consider. I will try to keep shit simple, and understandable for everyone. After reading this thread you should be knowing what you should be going for, and where you need to look for. Also you could ask here for advice on your build, or feedback! If you don't know where to start, i'm willing to help you out with several others! This guide will only cover gaming pc's and edit/stream/mapping/heavy workload pc's. Some parts could be used in other builds tho. Remember that if you build a pc yourself, you will have more upgradeability, it saves you money and it is way more fun! If you are scared to build one yourself, search on youtube for guides on how to build a pc. There are plenty of videos that will go trough step to step! Some things you need to know: HTPC: Home theather PC DDR3/4: Diffrent types of memory, DDR4 is the newest and also faster. APU: Accelerated Processing Unit, a CPU from AMD that is known for a very good internal GPU but is not as fast for CPU tasks. CPU The beating heart of your computer. Intel is the best choice in the most situations, but AMD has some APU's that are really interesting for HTPC's. Important choices here to be made depends on what you gonna do with it. If you will be editing video's, or you gonna use programs like autoCAD or hammer alot, you will need more power than if you only game. Also you need to decide if you overclock or not. Do not stare blind on the gHz its clocked on! For gaming, an Intel core i5-7500 is your best bet at the moment. Considering the performance for value, this little beast will run all of your games smooth without any bottlenecks. And really, that i7 is not worth at all for gaming, since you don't use hyperthreading! If you want to keep the overclocking option open, go for the i5-7600k. Remember that overclocking gives you little to none extra peformance in games, and that it brings risks if not done properly! If you are looking to edit video's, mapping or other intensive workload, you should be looking into a i7-7700k. With hyperthreading you will have 4 virtual cores extra to spread the workload. Compared to the i7-7700 non-k version, the -k version is more powerful, allows overclocking and is only a bit more. If you really wanna take a step up, go for a socket 2011-3 enthousiast grade processor. These offer more cores, but are also alot more expensive! If you are low on budget, you should consider an i3-7100. Great CPU with lots of power, but only has 2 physical cores. Some AAA titles like farcry 4 need 4 cores to work on, so take that in consideration. IMPORTANT: AMD is almost releasing a new series of CPU's which look very promising. I would suggest to wait on those since prices may drop and they could be more bang for the buck. Motherboard A lots of choices here! Various motherboards have various options and diffrent chipsets. Let's talk about those chipsets first considering you buy an Intel processor. H210 - The most budget choice, offers all you need, but has almost zero extra's and stuff and usually not much USB ports. B250 - Bang for the buck! Motherboards with enough options and extra's, but have some limitations. Great for a gaming PC with a non-k CPU. H270 - More luxurous than a B150, but has the option to make RAID setups. Often a bit more expensive, and not worth in your case since i won't recommend using RAID if you dont really need it. Z270 - Like the H170, but even better and has the option to overclock on unlike the others. ONLY TAKE THESE IF YOU ARE GOING TO OVERCLOCK WITH A -k PROCESSOR, OR YOU THROW AWAY MONEY. X99 - Top tier that only fit 2011-3 socketed CPU, so you plebs will never get those probably. IMPORTANT: AMD is almost releasing a new series of CPU's which look very promising. I would suggest to wait on those since prices may drop and they could be more bang for the buck. My advice in here is to look what chipset you need, consider what options you need, if it looks fancy enough for you, and if you plan to overclock or not. Read ALOT of reviews if the motherboard is decent or not. Common good brands are ASUS, MSI, AsRock and Gigabyte. Make sure the socket matches the CPU socket! RAM Is about what your motherboard supports. Some low-tier H110 and B150 have DDR3 slots only, most of them have DDR4. I recommend looking for a DDR4 supporting motherboard. Considering the amount of ram you need, depends on what you gonna do. For gaming, the minimum is 8gb these days (on budget), and 16gb recommended. If you planning on heavy workload stuff, take 32gb or more. Any kind of stick will do from any brand, and mostly have diffrences in looks. Higher clocked memory offers you a very small performance boost is some titles. 2133mHz memory will probably do the job for you, but if you got some cash left, spend it on higher clocked memory. Remember the FPS gained by this is MINOR, so always go for more important parts, like your GPU or CPU. Try to take low profile ram, explained in te next bit. CPU Cooler To keep your CPU cool, you need a cooler for it. Intel gives coolers with the non-K processors, but they can be loud under load. You are recommended to but an aftermarket one. Coolers have cooling capacity, so you should pick the right one for you. For non-k processors, i can recommend: Cooler master hyper 212 Cryorig H7 Noctua NH-14s Scythe mugen 4 Arctic freezer i32 For overclocking, you need more capacity. You can choose between water and air cooling. Air cooling can be more efficient than watercooling in some cases, and have way lower chances of failure! Noctua NH-D 14 / 15 Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 Corsair H100i/H110i NZXT Kraken X41/61 When buying a CPU cooler, keep in mind that it can overlap your RAM slots and maybe interfere with your RAM and don't fit! That's why you should take low profile RAM! GPU This is what a PC makes a gaming PC. You have 2 choices of brand, AMD and Nvidia. They both have their pros. AMD has better directx12 support, but they are not as efficient as Nvidia cards. Nvidia also has quicker driver updates. You also have the choice between running a single card and SLI/CF. I would not recommend any of those, since buying a better card is more efficient. Only do it when you need. Also don't stare blind on how much memory it has! Does not say anything about performance! This will also be your most expensive part you need. If you pay more, you get better FPS. From low to high costs, this is what i advice: GTX 1050 AMD RX 470 GTX 1050ti Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb > AMD RX 480 Nvidia GTX 1070 Nvidia GTX 1080 Nvidia GTX TITAN X (Pascal) Now it comes down on choice of brand, i would suggest you to read reviews and benchmarks! MSI and Asus have good cards in general. Storage In terms of storage, you have the HDD and SSD. The HDD slow, but is good for bulk storage like games, photo's, video's and is very cheap. If you pick those up, try to go for a Western Digital Blue since they are the most reliable. There is also a SSD. This is extremely fast storage, but costs more and is getting cheaper over time. This kind of storage is good for your OS and commonly used apps and games. The SSD has way faster loading times in games, but won't affect your FPS. Windows will start up in 5 seconds on an SSD! It is common to have both in your system. I use a 256g SSD + 1tb HDD and is fine for me. If you have less to spend, go for a 128g SSD + HDD, or only an SSD, but never give up an SSD, because it makes your system run alot more smoother! If you got enough to spend, go all SSD! PSU But hey, you need power! Usually, with a single graphics card and no overclocking your system will use up to 300-350 watts maximum. If you overclock, this number will be around 400 max. If you run multiple videocards, it will even be more! What you have to do here now, is to calculate the TDP of your system. You do this to search the specs of your parts, and look for TDP. This will be around 90 for the CPU, and around 120-200 for your GPU. Add 20 for your hard drives and shit, and you have you maximum power draw (not completely correct, just a guideline). In most cases, I would advice to take your total number and add 150. If yours is 300 watt, go for a 450 watt PSU, it is plenty in most cases! If you plan to overclock tho, you would like some extra space. If you overclock, take your total +250. You now have the wattage for your PSU. Never take too much for example a 300w system on a 850 PSU because its waste of money and not as efficient. There are diffrent kinds of PSUs, and you can sort them on 80PLUS certification. You never want to save on your PSU, because you can blow your whole system up! For the low-end gaming only user, look for a 80PLUS bronze PSU or higher. Bronze is good enough in much cases. If you plan to overclock, you should at least want 80PLUS gold or more. Also look to the warranty. Most good PSU's have a warranty of at least 5 years. Lower warranties have a more likely chance to blow up. You should also be taking major brands like Corsair, EVGA, Supernova, Seasonic, Cooler master etc.. When you look for a PSU, always read reviews if they are decent or not. Never take the cheapest option to save you some burning pc parts! You might also want to look if your PSU is modular or not, or if it has sleeved cables or not. Also cool options are a silent mode under low load etc. Make sure to check if you have enough cables for everything! Case This is where you gonna fit everything in. There are diffrent varieties based on looks, sound dampening, airflow, cable management, and accessoires. You should look for what fits you and what you like. Read reviews here, they could help alot! Also take major brands, since cheaper brands are known of shit build quality etc. Also make sure the case fits you chosen CPU cooler! Some i really like: Fractal design R5 NZXT H440 NZXT S340 I hope this guide helped some of you! If you got tips for me, want to fill up some information, got some errors or discuss shit let me see it down below! Thank you for reading! Updating this topic monthly, or whenever there are some huge changes in the market.

That 2nd gen i7 isn't too bad tho for gaming. Give it a slight overclock and you can easily use it for a year or 2. Or i would wait a few months and upgrade, because a new generation is coming up early 2017. This. Get an SSD. Lowers the load time of games alot!

If you can easily save for some more, Pick an aftermarket CPU cooler and a more sexy case to finish it :) Also dont forget that in this build only contains a 240gig SSD!

Going for 16gigs (2x8) saves 2 ram slots and makes it way more ''future proof''

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YQtGJV Will do the job perfectly, most bang for the buck. Nothing eye candy tho.

Bronze PSU's are fine as longs as u take one with decent capacitors. Could be a factory malfunction u had. Never had any problems with my bronze power supply

Exactly. Seems like someone is not listening when he is asking for advice. Could save so much if u take my advice. And WHY??? 750w power supply. 550w 80+ gold one is enough, even if u overlock.

Nah ur not done. WHERE IS THAT SSD? It makes so much diffrence :( And why an i7-6700k + Z170 Mobo? U gonna edit videos and overclock or stream? If u only game, just stick with an i5.

No rivalry needed, my team is the best, other teams only got bronzies. Kappa Good to have some competition :)

https://www.komplett.no/product/893869/datautstyr/datautstyr/minnebrikker/hyperx-fury-ddr4-2133mhz-32gb Take this and save some. Yours won't make any diffrence.

Overclockable processor on an non overclockable motherboard. Wanna overclock? Go for a Z170 Board. Don't wanna overclock, go for an i5-6500. CPU cooler way too overkill, if u gonna overclock its fine but if u don't go for an air cooler or a cheaper watercooler. Just not worth it as they have more chance of failure. Take 2100mhz RAM, extra mhz on your RAM won't make any diffrence for you. Also 16gigs should be more than enough for now. Take a bigger SSD? Crucial SSDs or samsungs are the way to go, u overpay on that hyperX ssd and it won't make any diffrence. U gonna put no extra hard drive in?

This worlds gonna be so rigged again. EUW teams are shit, NA teams are shit as always and KR teams are op. If SKT wins worlds again, they should be banned for being too op.

Let's say you have won the lottery and want to buy a car, what would be your dream car? Also tell what you like about it, and give some honorable mentions. Also rate the car from the person above you. To kick off, mine would be an Audi RS6 But why only some shitty family wagon and not a ferrari or lamborghini? Well, I love the design, it is damn fast and has everything you could wish (space, options etc.). As you maybe know about me, I am a huge fan of the VAG Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat). Some honorable mentions for me are: - Audi R8 - Lost of more Audi's too much to mention - VW Golf R and smack it to the ground and put some sexy rims under it. - Nissan GT-R - Nissan 370z

Welcome JJ, seen you hanging around yesterday! Like it to see people from another community showing interest in ours, defenitly good to have more interaction between communities :)
