I’m looking at my first homebuilt, since the specs I want put a prebuilt out of my price range. Are there any glaring issues with this build? Anything that would be better without adding cost or anywhere I could cut back?
Ideally wanting a box that can run ~max settings @60 fps most of the time, and >30fps in high demand areas. (i.e. would like 60 for tooling around Caledon, but no less than 30 around LA, WvWvW, etc.) Trying to stay as close to $800US as possible. I’ve also looked at this prebuilt:
which has the same CPU/GPU, but lacks the SSD and has an unknown MOBO. Thoughts?
Hi there!
I’m looking for a casual guild with a PvE emphasis, though I don’t mind to WvW once in a while. I’ve got one character with 100% exploration, my ultimate goal being to have one of each profession at 80 w/exotics.
Looking for people to clear zones, have fun, etc. with. I’m not a very competitive person by nature, so I prefer to play with others instead of against them. Would like a guild big enough that there are always several people on. My schedule forces me to play whenever I can find time; In other words, I game around my life instead of living around my game.
I’m not an RP’er myself, but I do respect it; I’ll usually stop and watch for a few minutes if I stumble across a group RPing.
