it's a bit different. the cpu is a 3.5gh (unless that was a typo) i7, the ram 32gb ddr5, hard drive 2tb ssd, went with a larger size case that's a bit open internally (i don't know about the case you have listed though), with a lot of extra fans, as i'd have trouble swapping out the coolant in a liquid cooled setup, i don't plan on overclocking anything so it should do alright, if i find it's running too hot, i'll have a new cooling system installed and have the store refill it every few months. i have a hard time doing the delicate internal work with the damage to my left hand.


---edit
and just so you know how out of touch i am, i didn't even know they sell ddr5, well not unless it's attached to a gpu that is.

They dont lol its DDR4 if the CPU is a 2011-3( 5820K,5930K,5960X) anything else its DDR3 unless its one of the new Skylake's which can run either.

 

As for draining custom loops its really easier and painless if you do it right all you need is a length of tube 2 compression fittings and a 2 way valve as long as its fitted in the lowest point in the loop you just loosen the top on the Res or one of the bleed screws on a Rad put the end with the 2 way valve into a suitable container to catch the liquid and flick the valve to the open position gravity does the rest.Thats how I do mine and with most modern coolants you only have to do it once every 1-2yrs.

i either had a bad connection on the phone, or he was talking ram and switched to the gpu and i just didn't notice... don't think i'm that out of it, but who knows?


---edit
i guess i should also note that i'm going with what the techie said over the phone, the bill i got was just for the 50% down payment, with just listed how much was spent, not what i was actually buying, i'll get that with the final bill when it's finished.

Console buddy told me of MGS5, Phantom something, that there's a PC version too and I should get into it. Errr, no thanks to console ports I say, besides gameplay/graphics look rather meh. I can't really think of a Japanese game that actually has a decent PC port.

 

Though WTH is up with the sniper girl? "If she wears clothes, she can't breathe", lol!

Phantom Pain got it free with my 980Ti its not bad but wouldn't pay $60/£60 for it, as for the Sniper Girl she was sent to assasinate you during the prologue when the real big boss who was sleeping in the next bed douses her in flammable liquid and sets her alight burning her lungs and body before she falls out the window.
 
She undergoes some therapy with modified parasites that gives her super speed and strength along with a invisibility cloak and accelerated healing factor, the damage to her lungs was unrepairable so the parasites modified the pores of her skin to act as lungs,her skin also absorbs sunlight and converts it into nutrients to feed her body so she does not need to eat and also drinks water directly through her skin which the parasites keeping her alive require.
 
As for why she doesn't talk well she was also given a mating pair of the English Language Vocal Cord Parasites which will breed and spread should she speak English,she apparently falls in love with your character and since your language is english she refuses to speak it so that she wont infect you with it.

 

All in its a very Kojima game lol

LOL! Haha sure sounds like nothing less than an excuse to have a near-nude sniper girl in the game heh

 

Well, boobs sell games I guess

[Invisible Man]

i finally played through the witcher 1 & 2 and i've been stuck in tw3 farming drowners for the last 3 days, trying to find water essence for my d**n cat potions (drowners are in small numbers and spread out, and after killing hundreds of those f***kers only 1 water essence), i'm also broke after repairing my gear, so i'm the opposite of happy... i liked tw1, it was a bit rough, but i liked it. tw2 i almost couldn't stand playing it (almost every design "improvement" i hated) though i still had to know what was around the corner, and as of right now i think wildhunt is about the least enjoyable game i've ever played in my history of gaming.

 

---edit

and all 3 have terrible autosave locations, i used to be a savegame purist, saving only on exit or after hard boss fights, morrowind & oblivion (crash city, but all in all... good times) kind of cured me of that, though i still save far less often then one would advise. 

 

---edit2

though in reflection i might not be so cross with tw3 if i wasn't broke, and still hunting water essence after 3 days. as you can't really play this game well without cat.

[GODzilla]

Seems to me you got a bit lost with that task, unneccesarily. My suggestion, and I promise it gets better when you follow it:

 

When in Velen, for the first one or two hours, follow the main quests until you reach "Crows Perch". That's just a location name, so no spoilers there.    After that you've visited some points where you meat, for instance, merchants for alchemy incredients. You can then just buy the bloody water essence. If I remeber correctly it isn't even that expensive. You'll also know some directions, you'll have a safe haven in Crows Perch and so on.

 

What's more: By that time you'll probably be beyond the point of pure survival when it comes to your finances. Because that's what it is for the first few hours. You'll have not nearly enough for convenience, sometimes barely enough to keep your gear maintained, as you already noticed.

 

But that'll pass. When you follow my suggestion you'll end up at the point in the story where it spreads out anyway. So it's not just for getting more money but it also makes sense in terms of following the central theme of the game. It's rather linear up until that point, after that you can go multiple directions.

 

There is another thing you should know: While at first it does not appear to be obvious, the game does have a central theme, as in a "thread" to follow. While you are free to visit many places of the game when you want I always felt it is better to follow that "thread", as it leads you naturally from one stage of the game into the next, so to speak.

 

It basically goes like this: Just follow one main quest at a time, until the end of that quest. (Do main quests on the side, I suggest a healthy mix based on locations; if you're near some sidequest, do it, then return to the path). They usually lead into each other and they usually lead you to the main places of the world in this game. You can choose to go there "early", but it feels better when the game introduces it via a quest imho. It's always good to have a reason to go places apart from "let's have a look".

 

 

PS: I wonder though...why do you think the game is not playable without cat? There aren't that many caves / dungeons in the game. And if you don't enjoy wandering around in the night, you could just meditate and wait for daylight. Also, there's the torch...

[Invisible Man]

i was following the main quest line one mission at a time (think i stopped after walking in the dark or whatever it was called, was level 4 in a level 6-7 quest zone, because i couldn't really think of an rp reason to put off the quest), & fitting in some witcher quests along the way when i could make it work (i'm kind of a hardcore roleplayer, it just doesn't sit right walking around doing a bunch of side quests when ciri's being hunted). well, anyway... i kept getting too beaten up for my liking, even when i set it to the easiest difficulty setting (to my eternal burning shame), mainly because i couldn't see anything during a fight in the dark, as even having a torch equipped doesn't seem to do much. so i said fine, i'll stop everything and finish the damned potion, three days later (3 days in real time) still no potion, and i'm broke, luckily my weapons and armor are still intact for the moment, hence the no cash. just how often is water essence supposed to spawn from drowners? as 1 out of something like 300 doesn't sound right, and it's not easy finding them either, as they don't seem to spawn regularly. 

 

---edit

as for buying it, i can't seem to find an herbalist or alchemist who seems to carry it in my current AO, and i doubt it sells for 50 gold or less, though i think i'd need to spend that on dwarven brew, as i think i'm also out of the potion base too. 

[GODzilla]

During a normal playthrough of TW3 you'll end up somewhere around 50 to 100 dwarven spirits...because you'll find the stuff during playing the game, just like that.

I dunno why, but somehow you got stuck into the whole potion thing much too...grim. ^^ Fight during the day, just meditate the night through and you'll be fine. I get the "roleplaying" part, I really do, because I'm mostly the same. I tend to use my own imagination, making up for plotholes like this. Yes of course Ciri needs help asap, but...

- she's been missing for many, many years, so a couple of days wont hurt...

- you depent on information from others and they want something from you first...

- as there are other characters involved in search and they'll need time too...

- if you hurry to much and run headlong into trouble you wont be able to help Ciri...

Yeah, some nice little excuses or reasons, that's all that is needed, at least this works for me.

And now for some combat tips. Main problem is probably that you directly went from TW2 into TW3 and while not at first obvious their fighting system differes immensely, in two main points:

1. enemies are much less sluggish as in TW2. Simply rolling behind them, then beating them dead isn't going to work for many of the enemies, especially not the humanoid ones.

2. rolling is only necessary for some strong monsters which use far-reaching attacks (and only during these attacks), but for the most part rolling will diminish your combat performance severely! Rolling will be the death of you!

Forget about rolling. Human enemies will get you in the back before you can turn around. And when fighting any enemy, rolling will leave you "out of reach" for any effective attack. Enemies in TW3 are much quicker on their feet and when they attack. Rolling takes a long time and then you need to get back to them. Until then they will be ready to attack you, parry or worse. This worked well in TW2, it wont in TW3.

Instead you need to stay as close to the enemy as possible and you need to learn to use the DODGE button. It's basically a step to the sides or backwards. Most enemies will not get you when you dodge backwards one time (there are exceptions, like spirits, you need to dodge two times backwards when they attack). Also most enemies attacks will hit the air when you do a sidestep in the right moment. Then you'll be at their flank and can hit them in return.

First part in learning to fight like that is to keep you from rolling. There is an easy way of preventing you from doing this: A fight starts, hold down the "parry" button. Do this for every fight. This will make the fight "slower" and you'll forget about the rolling sooner or later. It also gives you time to think as most enemies cannot break your parry that easily.

 

It is not ideal, because for human enemies you can actively "riposte" their attacks by parrying only in the moment their strike would hit you, but that's something for a later lesson.

[Invisible Man]

i got the essence of combat pretty quick, the problem with dodging as you mentioned is, it requires good timing, if i'm forced to guess at my opponent's position and movement (movement as in motion of attack) because i can only make out a partial silhouette and the red text over my target (if i'm lucky), dodging doesn't work as well as rolling. trying to dodge when i can't see my target got me killed frequently during fights, where as rolling when i can't see my target merely got me hurt instead of killed.

[GODzilla]

I still don't get the whole "not seeing anything" part. If you're that hard or a roleplayer, sleeping at night and questing during the day should come natural. Or is it the weather? Yeah, there are some weather types with bad visibility, especially during the morning- or evening-sun, plus rain.

[Invisible Man]

i have partial night blindness (i did really stupid things with flashlights and my eyes when i was little), i thought i mentioned this already, or maybe just not here. well, anyway usually i have to bump up the lightning & or gamma to be able to see anything at night in most games. there's no gamma setting to tweak as far as i can tell for tw3.

 

---edit

as for questing during the day, etc... that's all fine, untill the quest leads into a tomb, or some cave without a skylight, or the quest requires nighttime.

 

well that's all moot now, as i've had my cat potion for a while now, funny thing is, i got that first water essence off a drowner, spent 3 days hunting and slaying drowners, only to get my second water essence from a water hag i happened to bumble into.

 

---edit again

and now that i can see what's going on at night, well as long as i don't waste potions, i hardly get beaten up, unless it's a boss fight and i'm underlevel. no more easy mode for me... i actually like the normal difficulty settings on most games, especially when i'm just getting my feet wet. 

 

i'm still kind of pissed for the whole looking for a single item for 3 days, so still points off for that, but this isn't the worst game i've ever played now. don\t think i'm going to do additional playthroughs though.

[GODzilla]

Yeah, I must admit...my heart was bleeding a little bit (figuratively speaking) when I read that the game, which was supposed to be your game of the decade (no kidding, for me it is ^^) turns out to be this frustrating "look for the water essence" roadtrip.

 

Hope it gets better from now on.

 

About the night-blindness: If you mentioned it, than I might have missed it. Apologies if this is the case. I wonder though...there must be other people suffering from this. There are all kinds or tools and tweaks and programs on the internet, but really nothing to make games generally brighter?

[Ashen Nedra]

Invisible Man, as far as I remember, you can adjust gamma in video settings (options-video-gamma).

first place i checked, no dice. guess i'll take a 2nd... or rather a 4th look.

 

at least i haven't heard any ninja with night-blindness jokes, usually they revolve around unfavorable yuki comparisons. i get enough of that in my regular life. being a student of ninpo who can't see at night and all.

[GODzilla]

I wouldn't even know what a yuki is...or ninpo. And I'm also very unimaginative when it comes to bad jokes. I try to work on it, promise.

hard to tell just how much you're joking here, not being able to judge the amount of snarkyness in your voice and all. well... anyhow, yuki is a a ninja who suffers from motion sickness (a character from FF7), ninpo is an older or perhaps more classical term for some forms of ninjutsu (as in ninjas), the specifics regarding such terms can change depending on who you talk to. i doubt i actually needed to spell all that out, though figured safer than sorry etc... you'd be surprised how many times i actually do have to spell things out for people. *sigh*  

[Peregrinus]

no way to adjust for gamma on your monitor?  Although, I do remember seeing gamma settings for Witcher 3.  I actually remember adjusting it down because I felt the game was brighter then I liked.  :|

[Jackal19851111]

Need a new game to play, fallout 4 still a month away, and Xcom 2 is delayed. TW3 expansions not out yet, S:HK was alright, prefered Dragonfall for some reason. Any ideas? I hope I haven't played everything good already =/

 

BTW folks, M&B2 coming along nicely:

 

[GODzilla]

I suggest Mad Max. It is pretty much following the Ubisoft formula for open world games, granted, yet with the rather unique Mad Max flavor which hasn't been in a game, yet. It will probably entertain you for a week or two and it is really cheap when you buy in a keyshop. Bought mine there, too. They sell legit ROW (rest of world) Steam-keys, so there is no trickery involved in activating these.

 

[Jackal19851111]

Not really into the whole Mad Max stuff I'm afraid, I didn't even watch the movie heh
