  1. It really depends. If you think you are experienced enough to survive better with hood, then unbind it and bind plate. However, Plate should allow you to survive better if you utilize side-stepping than a hood can, since it allows for more mess-ups.

  2. To save time and confusion I'll make this explanation as quick and simple as possible. I play another small online game, and there was a guy on there who was known to occasionally DDoS people for no apparent reason. About a week ago he was banned from the game and somehow got a hold of a lot of people's IP addresses... and I think one of them might have been me. Although he is a known DDoSer, he's also known for not being able to do it on a large scale. Essentially his attacks cut whatever your system normally runs at in half (or so I've heard).

     

    Every once in a while I http://www.speedtest.net my connection just out of curiosity, but I know that my speeds 2 or 3 weeks ago were around 6 ms Ping / 27-29 mb Download / 3-5 mb Upload. Suddenly overnight my connections had slowed extremely! Just before I made this topic these were my results:

    Ping is at 10ms, which is low since it's been around the 15ms mark. My download speeds stay in the 18mb - 23mb range (which is decent, but not what I'm used to); my Upload speed has been beating with a stick... .45mb? I upload YouTube videos on occasion, and this is probably the most annoying thing for me. I called my ISP but those idiots never know what's going on. All they told me was it looked fine from there end & to try the "unplug router, wait 5 minutes, plug back in" method.

     

    Help? Suggestions? I haven't ran anything out of the ordinary, and I've had this new internet installed since last August with no dips in any speeds. I'm not even sure if I'm being DDoSed... but something is obviously different.

    You are not being ddosed. :) Also, 10ms is better. :)

  3. MMOs, including RS, are CPU-intensive, but yes, most slow downs are due to RAM.

     

    I do have 8 GB of RAM, at least I know thats not the problem. However, I have been playing around with screen sizes and different settings in downloadable version, I was able to get fps up a lil bit but not as much I want to. It is manageable for now.

    Have you tried DirectX? I currently use it and my fps is around 20 compared to 5 with Software mode.

    23$ more but it's a really quality product and you said you had 50$ left over from your previous build anyway.

     

    I spent $25 on the fan controller+$13 on the Scythe Fan so I had $12 left from that. Then, I removed the Sidewinder x4 and one other thing and had the total at $1695, so I have $105 left, give or take $5.

     

    EDIT2: Yep, it is $105, give or take $5 cuz I can find loose change in my house somewhere. :P

  5. Hey everyone.

     

    I decided to get a Mechanical Keyboard. My budget is $105.

     

    Here are my preferences:

    Cherry MX Black, Brown, or Red, or nonclicky ALPS.

    6-key rollover with USB and 104-key with PS/2 (so yes, I want one that has PS/2 and USB)

    Nice Wrist Pad

    LED is a plus but not required to me anymore (I will just have to get used to typing in the dark tongue.gif)

     

    Thanks everyone!

     

     

     

  6. You can get 1.5V 1600MHz RAM for $40, a cool $10 saved. Upgrade to Caviar black, not blue. I'd get that extra 0.5" on your monitor too. Check if the 212Evo comes with thermal paste pre-applied - I believe it does and it's not bad quality. Also - why the controller? A mouse is a lot better for things like FPS games.

     

    Other than that, fantastic!

     

    I have the G400 in my wishlist and my controller can help in the racing games. Wouldn't 1.25v be safer to overclock with?

    I have picked out the NZXT fan controller and one Scythe fan. I will consider your mouse suggestions I guess :P.

  7. Well, I have completed my build planning and have $50 left. I have no use for the $, so saving it is not something I want to do. What else should I buy?

     

    Here is my build so far:

    http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13328589

    http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354589

     

    I have also spent $156 on games, so that's how I have $50 left to spend.

     

    Any help is appreciated.
