Hell yea

You will have to look at the second hand market for sure, but you can probably get a decent 1080p 80-100fps medium/high build.

Something like (or equivalent):

Ryzen 5 3600

RX 6600

16GB DDR4

1TB SSD (probably not NVMe)

Whatever case

Whatever monitor, even if only 60Hz, for now

Whatever MoBo

Tier A PSU from the Cultists Network PSU tier list

You can most likely get everything used if you buy from a second hand shop that has a form of buyer protection (eBay and similar) and thoroughly check and clean and test everything you buy

I see, thank you!

Gating it behind EoD was already not great, since it's no progression and all, but now asking a price for it..? Unless it's a trivial amount, like $2, I really can't see why would anyone pay for it. A real raid would be better in all conceivable ways, except the stress of course. You can acquire map knowledge on your own oflline raid, ad PvP against friends, while useful to an extent, without the actual risk of losing your gear won't be as good as real PvP.

EoD has offline coop?

we removed the EoD version and some of the EoD features need to go back (offline co-op for example)

Not that it matters too much, as playing only against bots isn't what EFT is good for, in my opinion

Haven't seen this mentioned, but did you make sure to plug the display cable into the GPU and not the MoBo?

edit: nvm, just saw a comment with same suggestion

Nitro+ worth it?

I guess not for that much more. A 10% increase is substantial, and I don't think the difference in actual performance is enough to justify it; but you also said that your region can get toasty in summer, and the Nitro+ has better cooling which could help. I don't think the Pulse will get too hot to work, but it may be something to consider!

DDR5

Those are one of the best performance to price ratio, and they're very inexpensive for what they are (plus full support for AMD overclocking, EXPO I think it's called); you can also go higher frequency, but prices will go up as well.

cooler

Good call then, AIO will probably perform a bit better with extreme high ambient temps

970

All good, a 970 Evo Plus might be cheaper so why not!

5.0

Yeah, there's no way gaming will saturate PCIe 5.0 anytime soon, no need to pay premium for specs you won't benefit from

Happy building and gaming!

About RAM, Trident Z5 NEO @ 6000Mhz seems to be the best price/performance ratio.

About GPU, I'd personally go for a Sapphire as they're one of the historic AIB for AMD GPUs and I also dig a lot the design of the Nitro+ lol

See if you can save something on the MoBo (by getting a lower trim) and 2x2TB might be a bit overkill for gaming only (ofc it depends on your habits, but I personally don't have games installed for more than 500-600GB). Also, you picked two PCIe 4.0 NVMEs, so maybe consider a 970 Evo Plus if it's cheaper than the 980 Pro

About cooler, I'd prefer an old fashioned air cooler simply because it can't leak lol

Yeah, I know, I feel the same for the most part, but I'm definitely itching for some more DJMax, I have hundreds of hours on the PSP games, and there isn't really anything else like it. Guess I'll have to pass though and keep consuming my PSP haha why did they have to make it always online, makes me sad

That sounds like good practice, thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

player speed

Tried that already, since GAMMA allows to modify it straight from the mod menu, but I can't go too low with character movespeed otherwise it feels very unnatural.

steam discussion

Thanks, even though that's for SoC and CS I also agree that it should be very similar for Anomaly as well. I'll check that out later, hopefully nothing breaks haha

Sorry for late reply, app kept saying "this account is being verified" and I coulnd't comment or anything else.

Anyways, I kept them. One drive loss won't be catastrophic (got two mirrored and also spare backup), so I decided to go for it!

Sorry for late reply, app kept saying "this account os being verified" and I coulnd't comment or anything else.

In the end I decided to keep them, considering the store provides warranty! Loving the gigantic storage amount I have now haha
