With compression I get anywhere between 1.35 and 1.45 GB/min. It's usually around 1.4.
Free-to-play based on teamplay and tactics.

I recommend a sound card to anyone who has $20+ to spare(and already has decent headphones), it makes a HUGE difference over on board.iRawPeanut wrote:
Do you have a reason for taking a Sound Card, because the one on the Motherboard should be sufficient (if you are'nt the type of guy that get's a nerd-gasm from HQ sound ).
And why only a SSD, do you already have an HDD?
Even for the USB Headphones?TheYonderGod wrote:I recommend a sound card to anyone who has $20+ to spare(and already has decent headphones), it makes a HUGE difference over on board.iRawPeanut wrote:

Yes he already has an HDD.
Nice work Cheesy. The power supply is a bit overkill but I'm floored with the case that you chose. There's also the Corsair 550D or Fractal Design Define R4 if it matters.Cheesy wrote:Ok, I tweaked my build a little so I could buy everything from Amazon. With Prime it will come on Friday

No, USB headphones use their own built in sound card. They are decent but nowhere near as good as a sound card + real headphones can be.wizekraker wrote:Even for the USB Headphones?TheYonderGod wrote:I recommend a sound card to anyone who has $20+ to spare(and already has decent headphones), it makes a HUGE difference over on board.iRawPeanut wrote:
