well the reason i picked this mobo is because i picked the cpu first, by looking at this list - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

it was the cheapest high performing cpu, then chose the mobo by using the same socket type (LGA 1150). the mobo you suggested uses LGA 2011. So it's possible i would choose that mobo, as it is larger, but i would have to choose a different cpu. So is the mobo more important or the cpu more important?

Like most things, it's a balancing act. For future-proofing you want the best of all features and options that you can afford. Unfortunately only the LGA 2011 boards offer 8 RAM slots and your choice is perfectly fine on its own. Your choice of RAM is good too, but by pre-filling all four RAM slots on the 1150 board you're leaving yourself in the situation of having to replace RAM sticks down the road. By going with a 2 x 8GB set instead of the 4 x 4GB set you're leaving room for expansion as needed.

By the way, I just got this group of limited-time Newegg coupons via email in case you're ready to buy anything in the next few days. I suspect you probably also got the email, but I figured I'd share just in case. ;-)

4 slots is fine, 32gb is all you would ever need , Max, for the life of this PC.

So im not sure how to go about rewarding anyone, as i changed up my parts several times, it didnt go as i thought it would, it was more like advice and such and i went with what i wanted in the end but your guys' advice did influence me ofc..


as the setup is expensive, i can't afford to get everything at once, so it'll be some time before i have it all set up, but the other good news is i recently got a new laptop (cheap) but it's stronger than my old laptop, and my old laptop was able to run AWS, so i started the download on this one.. (super slow.. like 200-600kb/s) but whatever. You'll see me in game a lot more often! :)


the small patch is at least some kind of change, i am hoping they will be able to do more work on the game though :/
Best of luck and wishes to devs. no matter how long and crappy the road was to get there, once the game is a finished product, it will have been worth it to get there

Sweet, it's always nice to get a surprise like a new(er) laptop! Glad to hear you'll be able to play again and I hope to see you around from time to time. 8-)

Allfather,
              if you appreciate the posts then that would be the only reward I would ever need.
