I offically got it up and running and installed windows but I keep running into problems. I tried to install all the drivers and kept getting blue screen of death so then I had to install them one by one to figure out which drivers was causing it to happen, after i did all that i realized i installed the wrong version of windows so I gotta reinstall windows and try the driver shyt out all over again this is turning into more of a project then I wanted it too, there have been multiple times when i have been on my trip back to the store to grab another part to try to make something work that i would wonder why the fukk i didn't just buy a prebuilt cp. Hopefully wen i get this thing up and running it will be worth it. another issue is i got this thing hooked up to my tv and the text is tiny. Any easy fix for this?

it's your first build, it will never be this hard again.
i salute your efforts. also, you can hit Ctrl+ to zoom in on you screen to make text bigger and your browser will remember it so you only have to do it once for any site.

the fonts option in control panel is also an option like daze said.

Okay you guys won. I played a few matches of Max Payne and BF4 with a KB/M and accuracy is deadly now. I just can't get to grips with the keyboard. I sometimes press the wrong button to switch buttons. I'm thinking something like a fragfx would help immensely.

@Ciggavelli since you gaming on 3 monitors, is the Oculus rift on your radar?? Wouldn't that render tri monitor gaming redundant?

get a gaming mouse with some extra buttons.
i was pouring jelly on myself for years but last year i got me a nice gaming mouse.
i went with this:

http://www.ianker.com/product/98ANDS2368-BA

it's on sale for $39.99, it has a great user interface that you can use to program buttons, save profiles, adjust led colors and a bunch of other shyt.

it really helped when i was playing Arkham Origins because there are so many special combat moves that require a a key to be binded to it and it can be a bytch with the keyboard.

Also do ppl still play that counter strike game and is it available on steam??

wireless mouse for gaming can bring tragic results.
the batteries dying during an online game is not fun at all.

your character just standing still in the middle of a battle as you fumble to get the old batteries out and get the new ones in is one of the worst first world problems there are.
your team mates yelling at you as you try to explain and convince them to protect you for the next 30 seconds...

Lol. I felt like a god last night using my mouse. I literally felt like I had a giant finger on the screen just tapping enemies. I hit this headshot from a 180 spin in BF4 last night with such sublime accuracy I didn't know how it happened.

there's plenty of wireless kb/mouse combos out there that aren't too expensive. but if you want something that's good for gaming, it will probably be more expensive. if anything, I would prioritize getting a better mouse, as you can get buy with a cheap keyboard

many gamers do prefer wired accessories, for various reasons. if nothing else, they're usually cheaper. but it's understandable if that doesn't work with your set up

counterstrike and the new counterstrike: g.o. are consistently in the top ten games played on steam

Wired mice are also more accurate, due to the lack of interference and shorter response rates. I'd suggest wired over wireless any day (and I typically hate wires)

 

[KritNC]

Damn counter strike still going strong and it looks like the exact same thing from 12 years ago I used to play in middle school? I'm guessing that my setup should handle this fine right?

Rust is fun. I like it better than dayz

don't blame you since DayZ is a mess at the moment. but what is Rust really like? I imagine is must be pretty 'snappy' using the source engine. how does the average game play out for you?

Is anybody making a 4k monitor that is not 30hz?

Edit: under 1K

edit: I think that's pretty much the only one. so no, not under 1k. maybe in a year or so...

I guess I'll have to wait until dell makes one next year or something.

That shyt costs the same as a used motorcycle

Guess I'll finish up my new main rig build this year just waiting to find a new/used deal on a 3570k/3770k.. Had the components for over a year but never built it
