I don't really download movies either these days but I have all the premium channels and an HD Homerun Prime so this PC is my DVR / Cable Box and it mostly records movies all day long. It was in a full tower but It felt silly to have it in one. I still have the ATX motherboard, 700w power supply, and case. I'll probably buy an LGA 1155 socket processor off eBay and a stick of 8GB RAM and reuse it since I have a few extra hard drives lying around.
GTA V launches in like 2 weeks yet there's no info out on it.. 
Yeah, comes out this month...it's launching on PC?
still no release date on steam, though rockstar claims it's coming out Jan 27.Yeah, comes out this month...
It'd be nice to see some recommended specs too.
If GTA IV is any indication, we shouldn't get our hopes up. I dunno if you were PC gaming then, but it was a disaster of a release
I wasn't really into PC gaming back in 2009. I played a few games here and there but I wasn't really into it.still no release date on steam, though rockstar claims it's coming out Jan 27.

Hopefully they can get the game running smooth on a good range of systems. I really want to play GTA V again but playing it on PS4 isn't doing anything for me. I need that pristine image quality at 60fps.

do u actually take ur gpu apart when u "clean" it?
and are u reapplying thermal paste on ur cpu every 6 months after "cleaning" it?
i don't take my gpu apart, i just take it out and dust it off.
i never remove my cpu unless i'm replacing it.
once properly seated I typically don't take the heatsync off the CPU unless something is wrong. As many PCs as I've built I still haven't mastered the whole pea sized amount even spread thermal paste. Half the time my temps are too hot after I apply it.
all the cpu's ive ever gotten come with the thermal paste already applied.
if you're cleaning off the CPU then you have to re-apply it.
whenever i buy a new graphics card, i always take it apart, clean off the pre applied thermal paste and put my own. evga is the worst, the bullshyt tim they put on their cards is disgraceful. if you own a evga card, do yourself a favor and wipe that bullshyt off your gpu and get some real tim like pk1 or gc extreme.
i also do wipe down my graphics cards twice a year. even tho i use my datavac to blow out the dust in my pc, your shyt will still get dirty and some dust will still always stick. i just wet a lil hand towel and wipe it down.

I put my HTPC away and replaced it with a Fire Stick and I really miss the option to browse the internet for movies on sites like Viooz and such
still I hardly ever watch movies so its not that big of a deal but it would be for someone else
I havent built systems in years but I remember it was always recommended to use your own thermal paste rather than the factory one, is that no longer the case?

If you don't use commandlines you can't run the game above minimal options (800x600) on current hardware...
The game was worth every penny on PC though because the modding community saved it...
I'm still playing it, been testing this French Riviera map out with CJ da gawd...
