I am looking to update my PC. It is currently running an i3 with 6GB of ram. I want to turn it into a beast. Here is the proccesor I want(excuse the romanian link) http://www.emag.ro/procesor-intelr-...b-socket-1150-box-bx80646i54460/pd/DHHPLBBBM/ then here is my ram www.emag.ro/memorie-hyperx-fury-blue-16gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl10-1-5v-kit-2x8gb-hx316c10fk2-16/pd/DV4P1BBBM/ and then here is my mobo http://www.emag.ro/placa-de-baza-asus-socket-1150-h81m-k/pd/D2N1VBBBM/ so will it all work? If everything does could I get a second hand i7 socket 1150 so it actually fits my mobo or it being second hand means that it wouldnt run as fast?

The best you can do with your existing platform is getting a haswell/devil's canyon CPU and then get a Z97 mobo eventually.
Do you have a graphics card?

Get an i5 4690 and a CoolerMaster 212 Evo CPU cooler (so it can boost up without throttling). Get the RAM you specified in the OP.

Which GPU do you have? If it's already satisfactory, keep it. If you're aiming towards emulation, keep it no matter how powerful it is, it's probably good enough. But if you're looking at PC gaming and your computer came with 6GB of RAM and an i3, it's probably time to upgrade your GPU as well. Look at an AMD RX 470 or RX 480

I actually upgraded everything in my pc over the years so i guess you could call it a custom build

See, I don't feel like he needs a motherboard upgrade unless he really feels like overclocking. I haven't even touched my 4690K's multiplier, which means it's still running at stock 3.5GHz, but it runs very dutifully

I have an i3 540 3.07ghz, from my googlefu there isnt any i3 with an 1150 socket
Ah, sorry, I assumed the motherboard in the OP was the one that you already had on hand. As it isn't, we need to decide if you're interested in overclocking your CPU or not, and whether or not you'd like to upgrade straight to Skylake as opposed to Haswell

I will not overclock and I am not intrested in Skylake

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
