Oh I haven't actually started looking for components yet, I'm still trying to save money and convince my dad that building one would be a better option than buying a stock one

So what am I looking for in a good GPU? What specs?

I'm not sure, in FL I can select (as my sound output) Primary Sound Driver, Speakers, and ASIO, and ASIO sounds the best, so idk But if a sound card isn't all that expensive then I can just go with that and use my current setup with ASIO for just production

Thanks all, I appreciate the advice, one bit about sound though: My production software comes with (and I can easily install) a free audio driver called ASIO4All that I currently use on my laptop for all production work. This is an incredibly helpful way to get around the fact that my laptop speakers are pretty much shit. If I could get ASIO4All to run with everything (so use it as the sound driver for games and all other sounds, not just production, which I would imagine is possible although I haven't looked into it yet), would there really be any need for a separate sound card? Also, how much does a decent sound card cost, because if it's not that much, then I will get one and just continue with the same setup as I have now, using ASIO4All for just production. Thanks!

USA, and preferably <$1000

So I recently came to the conclusion that I would be much better served in gaming and in music production if I got a desktop instead of my laptop. After some discussion with my brother, he recommended I build my own, both for cost and for the ability to customize for what I want. So, can I get some help on what I need to know before looking for parts? As said before, this desktop will be doing mainly music production and gaming. Thanks!

If you've got Steam, I recommend Altitude. It's almost like a little flash game, but it's addicting and occasionally infuriating

Skyrim is way too much fun...tried to attack a kid and accidentally set his dog on fire. 10/10 would play again

Not just Star Wars, but any games that you spend waaayy too much time playing I'll start, From my Steam logs, I have: 17 hours in Garry's Mod 15 hours in Civ5 14 hours in Altitude (an awesome free indie plane fighting game thingy) 7 hours in JKA, and 3 hours in Skyrim (only because I just got it last weekend) What are yours?

I wish they'd put it on Steam, I've never played any one other than the first

Yeah I'm still here lol, just been busy with other things. Looks very epic though so far, thanks y'all

I find it funny how Kyle is supposed to be helping you for the first five missions, and then he...does nothing, talks to people, doesn't show up, says "you can handle it", or almost murders you from above in the comfortable ship while you have to go onto the speeding train in the rain and fight all the enemies

That's dedication right there

I'm just excited for the new movies because I know they'll be good movies - IMO Abrams did a bang-up job with the new Star Treks, and I'm sure that EPVII and beyond will be good standalone movies. Whether they'll fit into the canon? That doesn't really matter so much to me. I can keep the EU canon and the movie canon separate, and there doesn't have to be a complete divide between the two either. Also on the subject of characters and their creators- Lucas did create the universe, so he has license to do whatever he pleases with it. His actions may not be received well (cough cough prequels) but as the creator, he is allowed to do that. You can complain about the direction of the characters all you want but that won't change his mind or ideas. TL;DR EPVII won't necessarily be a good Star Wars movie (in terms of canon) but it will be a good movie, and Lucas may be a dick but he has license to do so.

They don't have to be forgotten, not if you don't forget them That's my same idea with the EU, having something that supposedly trumps it canon-wise doesn't mean that those stories or their value in building the universe are discarded. But anyway this is getting too philosophical for Star Wars so I'll leave now bye

How would that work though? Would right clicking change the length or something?

CTF because I suck at dueling, but give me weapons and I can take anyone out Although there often seems to be a lot more anger on CTF servers (PUG or JA+) compared to FFA, which annoys me somewhat Edit: I also quite like the SP campaign, not for the story but definitely for the wide variety of levels and scenarios and the combat...low-level cultists are fun when you throw them off cliffs

Oooh, I like Also if it's not too much to ask, could you make team colors for it? I play mainly CTF so that's where I'd use this, idk where you'd change the color though

The Who's "Pinball Wizard" and Aretha Franklin's "Respect", as they are both part of my marching band show this year Also check out Vanessa Collier, she went to high school with my brother (the same one I now attend ) and just released a jazz CD called Heart, Soul, and Saxophone! This one, "Bad News Bears", will also be part of our show this year!

I used to love playing Neo Dark Ages with bots (I apparently hadn't found the SP version but here it is). It was kind of laggy when I had it but the gameplay changes definitely made up for that. I especially loved the new weapon effects and models, and all the brilliant new playermodels, as well as reskins of the defaults to fit them more in with the theme of the mod. http://jkhub.org/files/file/1562-neo-dark-ages/

I like playing as the guy from TRON so whatever

...yeah, (not to say that this isn't important elsewhere, like all of pop music) but I don't think that the loudness war is really a problem here, as long as eez isn't going "hurrdurr compress the f*ck out of it because it needs to be louder" or something
