Dope..I might fukk wit that Counterstrike life. gotta practice heavy tho.
yeah. me and a few friends are just in CEVO-Open league, we're not playing the best competition but its still a lot of fun. Organized league matches are a lot different then just playing a random matchmaking game. That 4x overtime game was insane though. The other problem is finding teammates that are as good as you, I'm far better then most of my teammates but i dont really care because i'm playing with friends

Your current rig in pretty out dated and the psu has aged well but you are around the point in a psu life span where it may soon go out and that is un safe to new pc parts. You say you want to play at 4k or close to it well honestly the 970 is a great card but it won't do 4k for you, it is the king of 1080p, but when you play at 4k you want to do it right, the amd 300 series is coming soon and that may be a good option to wait for. Honestly you want to build a pc at a perfect time with a lot of new tech coming out soon. I would attempt to sell my current rig on craigslist if I was you for like 300$ if you can get that. If you can hold off on a new rig until the new intel i5 and the amd 300 series drops, save up until then it will be worth it in the long run. That monitor you selected is amazing but if your rig doesn't have the power to use it then it's pointless.

I have some pos 6800 series amd card only 8gb ram with an i5 processor. I hadn't had any problems running any other game so haven't felt the need to upgrade but this game is shytting on my comp and I want to be able to run on high
Your ram is perfect for gaming no game will really use over 4gb of ram and the i5 is just fine. That video card is whats killing you :sadcam:. I been thinking bout that counter strike it looks legit :banderas:

I'm going to need a new PC soon.

I need it to be strong in terms of graphic design and video editing.

I'm looking to spend up to $800 if I need to, but if I hit $1000 I may as well pay $1400 for the MacBook Pro (which is what I have now, and it treats me well). And if there aren't any solid options I'll probably just go ahead and spring for a new MacBook.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

A case is a damn case to me, wire management and fans used inside is more important than the box everything sits in.

I just see it as an unnecessary expense for a "luxury" or "premium" case.

I lie to myself all the time and act like I'm going to flex with a premium case, but then think that the extra cash can go to a eater piece :patrice:
