Pretty much the build I would recommend to anyone looking for an entry level PC that will play anything. SSD is a bit questionable though, there are some games bigger than that. If your on a super hard budget you could definitely shave off $50-$100 going for some lower quality parts (Mobo,psu,case,SSD).

I see your point and it is likely correct in a majority of situations, my knowledge on this topic comes from Starcraft, CSGO, OSU! and Overwatch All of which when measuring the input lag from the moment you press the button to when it displays on your screen is significantly less than 100ms. However i will defend that something like 1/10th of second is very easily the difference between a headshot and a miss against any moving target.

You kidding? Games like csgo literally have 16ms of input lag on 60hz monitors, pros use 144hz screens because its beneficial to have less input lag than 16ms. Heck in starcraft pros actually make actions faster than every 100ms. Saying that theres no difference at less than 100ms is like say the human eye cant comprehend more than 10 frames per second.

I dont know much about fighting games but if i were playing something like overwatch on PC those levels of input would make the game completely unplayable.

Thats a fair price for a laptop with a 1050ti, assuming it has 8gb of ram and the CPU wont bottleneck it. Around a $350 premium for form factor, a built in screen and a battery. 1050ti is in that ps4 power level sweet spot where devs go out of their way to make their games work at that power level.

Ive done some testing, performance increases are negligible but there is a pretty large reduction in hitching/stuttering related to CPU/RAM/HDD limitations.

You can buy equally or more powerful laptops at that price point, which kind of makes the whole form factor thing redundant. Also, most of the pretty cost efficient console equivalent PC builds ive seen generally hover around a 50% mark up, not 450%.

Then they nerfed Dva more than she got buffed in the previous patch.

I think it ported as well as it could have. Characters, lighting, textures and geometry largely survived the port, and they added prebaked shadows which is way better than no shadows. The main thing is it runs at a very solid 30fps, im not really certain how much more you could realistically ask for.

A few examples include Borderlands 2, Ratchet and clank collection and the god of war collection. Games known primarily for being terrible ports. Of course thats cherry picking and unfair, the stuff sony developed themselves turned out very well. But most of the stuff they published but did not develop was complete trash.

Do people actually spend money on those boxes? You get a new one every couple of games, and the new arcade majigg gives you a ton more.

No, its a "My friends cant see that i am playing online" mode.

Those specs are marginally more powerful than a PS4, I would hope the game runs accordingly.

Thats considered antisocial? Cute.

The real question is, will they update her joke database?

For a long time i had the wild arms intro song as my phones ringtone, the music does a fantastic job of setting a tone for the game.

The 750ti has been the go to entry level card for a long time and nvidia is claiming the vanilla 1050 is 50% faster for the same price. Hard to complain about a better version of a good thing. And with the recent trend of memory hungry games, a 4gb entry level card is a pretty big deal.

The only issue ive had with this game is that its very unoptimized for lower end systems. Like systems that are still more powerful than an xbox one can expect graphics inferior to those of something like the original gears of war on the xbox 360.

Well said. If you've ever been a budget PC gamer then you know that sometimes the cost of 60fps is just too much. Barely being able to get 60 gets you a lot of shiny at 30.

Hes been bitter about the games since day 1, old news.
