This is my recommendation for a full tower case.

Anyone here use D3DOverrider? I wanna give it a try, but I can't even open the application. It just gives me a quick black screen and exits.

You guys aren't suggesting the correct full tower case. (Black doesn't count)

Because If I don't use them, they're given to someone else so I might as well

JIBY9-4DWRP-I5NHG-BYK8V

0NVNL-Q6509-Q34ME-YRZQ3

73NCX-Q74Z6-O1GME-Q6MJW

Y6HHD-N71DB-YWSO1-RF503

AROQP-SGTWL-P6AWV-CJ75O

If you wanna know what it is, it's a code for a beta on a game called firefall

it's an MMOFPS that's apparently not P2W at all

Have fun

If you do get access after you signed up, please post which code you used
OH lol JK, I found it. I used 73NCX-Q74Z6-O1GME-Q6MJW

What are the required specs for this game like?


a WIDE range, tons of graphics options, you can make it look REALLY nice if you wanted to, or you can have it all on low and still play

That case is pretty damn awful to be honest. It doesn't have space behind the motherboard for cords, there are no tool-less drive bays, the hard drives have to be screwed in, and the HDD supports block the front fans.

The other components are perfect.

But will it suit my needs? It's not going to completely mess me up is it?

I really don't know what to do now. I'm having trouble with playability. I can run a game without vsync, but I get awful screen tearing. When I enable vsync, it stutters greatly. I tried with triple buffering, and also tried adaptive vsync, but nothing seems to help me. Either I can play with god-awful tearing, or unbearable stuttering. I can't seems to balance it all out. I don't know if it's my card that's the problem, or that I use a 60hz monitor....

Cancel the order and get a different one if you can. Your case and your power supply are the two things that can last you ten years if you do them right. This isn't something you want to mess up on.

60 Hz monitors are perfectly fine. 95% of gamers use them. It's the fact that you have a crappy monitor. Get a better one :P

It's the most functional though.

How about the 600T?

I went out and bought the case at a retail store. I can't really return it because customer service is awful there and it would give my dad a headache

I'm actually playing around with my card's control panel, and reading about what each option means and does, so I can improve the quality of gameplay.


But I still feel like this.

Could you try it? It really is an awful case. It only has a 5-star review because it's from years ago when these types of cases were first coming out (bottom-mounted PSU, new mobo sizes).

So... Television? Unless you're super short on money, don't use a television for gaming. It's one of the worst displays behind a projector.

*sigh* [FUCK]!

Well, I guess I'll try. What do you recommend I get for the same price? Also, I need a good motherboard under $100, which probably isn't possible.

Maybe I can go for a better card. The one I'm currently using is what came with the computer: Nvidia Geforce GT 640.

No, it's severely-injuring-but-not-quite-killing two birds with one stone.

Case. If you have $10 more... I highly suggest the 200R for a budget case.

Try to pick a mobo from this list. Yes, I know it's Fry's, but that's where I bought my stuff and I'll have to make do with their selection for now. Ordering online isn't really an option at the moment.

I don't get it. I use a TV and its perfectly fine for gaming.

But could it be the problem? I get the same performance with the old monitor as with this TV monitor. They're both 60hz. I'd hate to get a new monitor, only to have the same problems.


I just want play without this or this greatly affecting my experience.

If vsync fixes it what is the issue?

...are these yours?

Either way, those are just stunning!

edit: What are the keys in picking a good motherboard? Let's say I want to utilize a SSD, and a PCI 3.0 GPU. What do I need?

There's too many motherboards from the $100-$200 that don't seem to be different...
