Well, he said to expect more at GC in August. Given that we already have 2, Mythology & 3 with improved graphics, I don't know what else they can reveal about Age of Empires.

And the Win Store exclusivity was a guess as it's an Xbox Live game. I don't know if Halo Wars, also available on Steam, uses it or not.

Eh... my only issue is the grass looks blurry as hell and it's probably going to be locked to Windows Store.

I noticed it, but I thought the blurriness came from the stream.

Still, I'll keep playing AoE2 HD.

I am actually super pumped for it!

I would have also liked a remaster more than a remake.
I am just happy that the Age of Empires franchise is actually getting looked at, rather than forgotten about in gaming history.

You never know, it might actually be decent.

Okay guys. I really need to finish up my build spec so I can order the parts this week.

Does anyone know of a decent 1080p G-sync monitor (maybe even a 1440p to keep in mind)?.

Also what kind of 120mm fans would you go for?. I need to grab 3 more for the current case.

The build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/f8LGzM

I'm also open to suggestions as to what you'd change from the current build, I could always add onto another one in the future as I do have a Ryzen build as well: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MjrZ3F

Looks good to me. I'd rather choose a different case though like Corsair 570X or Cooler Master Mastercase 5T or something fancy. Ik case isn't no where near the most important thing when it comes to performance but man, if I am gonna spend money on a fancy new computer, it has to look the part too!

You sure love your tempered glass cases

i chose the current case due to it's military design, the two handles for transportation and it's black non fingerprint messy finish.

I chose the CPU cooler instead of the other corsair one that goes with a dueal 120mm fan setup, as I'd have to sacrifice my drive bays to fit it at the front, yet I'm going to be using two HDD's and SSD's, so I can't sacrifice the front space. 

That Cooler Master case does look nice though, esp with the VGA holder, but man is that a pricey case lol. I mean, money isn't an issue for me atm and I also want to grab a new M+K, a proper gaming chair (this office wheelie chair is actually killing my back). I see what you mean with showing it off. I don't have the RGB hw for it though XD.

I suppose if I do go with the CM case, I could leave the mobo/CPU/RAM intact with the current case. I'm going to be giving my current mobo, CPU,ram and GTX 980 to Mr No sometime after the enw rig is built, as I'll have no further use for the those parts. A new build will come after the upcoming one at some point in the enx two eyars, but it will hopefully have Ryzen in mind (I cba .waiting for the fine wine perf gains on their CPU/GPU side atm, hence the Intel+Nv build)

Yea I got that cooler master case cause the color scheme goes really well with a "Ryzen" build. The GPU holder is nice but what I didn't realize initally is that it actually blocks some of my sata ports and to remove it and re-adjust it fully, you would need to remove the mobo first and by the time I realized it, I had most things setup already. Luckly, u can push it more to the right so it's not that much of an issue. The other odd thing is that it has 4 usb 3.0 ports for the mobo so it come with 2 usb 3.0 headers and most mobo only has one usb 3.0 header.

Apart from that though, it's a really awesome case. And yea, it is pricey but I got it on sale for $100 off so... :P

And yea, I am on board with the tempered glass/rgb hype train. They just make the case feel more premium than acrylic but of course, if you drop acrylic, nothing happens but you drop tempered glass... RIP

I hate Ubi. Can't they just stop making games when I got better things to do? Now they announced South Park on the same day as Elex.

Also ACO looks even better after the longer gameplay demo. It seems they have gone full action RPG. It feels more like Shadow of Mordor than any AC. It's also a lot more Far Cry than any previous AC.

Well I could always roll with a case like that once it drops down in price for a future Ryzen buold

Not sure if I'll jump on the RGB train yet. I know I'll want a backlit kb though.

Would 3 120mm "be quiet" fans suffice you think?. I'm not fond of Noctua's colour scheme, like they've stuck with that one for years lol.
