Life Advice / Re: Building my own computer

Some additonal questions. What games are you planning to play on it? And What settings? Is it purely for gaming or other uses? Are you still on the same budget? Do you want to overclock?

Explanations:

GPU or Graphic Processing Unit is good at computing big loads of information especially graphics.

PSU or power supply unit powers everything on your Motherboard. If you go over the amount of power your PSU can supply some parts won't run.

MOBO or Motherboard. This allows your parts to interact with eachother as one enitiy.

OC or Overclock. Increaes the amount of times your CPU or GPU executes information.

^ Depends really, it can fail right now or it can last for another 5 years. The best thing you can do is backup everything.

I will take any feedback.

Smelt any ore that comes up out of the tunnel.

Your going have drop the quality if you want to save HDD space.

You can do this by;

1.   Reduce video frame rate (30fps->15fps)
2.   Reduce video quality (1080p->480p)
3.   Reduce the Audio (Stereo->Mono)


Programs for reducing file size:
handbrake- Lot of options.
avidemux-not very intuitive but pretty good.

-1 to leaving we don't even know how to fly a shuttle, I say we stick with the group. There are lot of weapons around maybe we can use them as a IED then retreat back while those aliens try to follow and they get face full shrapnel.

It doesn't seem to be set in stone,  but doesn't seem to be used in every day use.

^Agreed, I find it funny that their not in much of a rush anymore even though they are still in a combat zone.

Also see if we can design some Mithrill Mesh filters to strain the sand into its component parts.[/b]
We will probably need something to design something to put pressure on those mesh nets in order to separate the oil

Also, consider about going into the tunnel for safer environment.

Start mining the tunnel for metals

edit: Also, would trolls regenerate their head if it got cut off or blown off?
