Forums - PC Discussion - From console to superior: I HAVE JOINED PC MASTER RACE

I am proud to say that (after 2 day amazon prime shipping thank God) I have officially joined the PC master race. 

I have always been a console gamer. Mostly Sony gamer, but have also enjoyed the Wii and 360 when I had them. Well no more. I plunged head first. 

I mainly bought this PC (link here) for League of Legends. I was playing League on a shitty Toshiba laptop with integrated graphics and shitty everything else. NO MORE RUNNING LEAGUE AND LOW POWER GAMES ON THE LOWEST SETTINGS! I also picked up this monitor and everything looks great so far. 

My questions to you guys: any advice/tips/tricks would be most welcome! The PC I have now runs with the Radeon AMD Rx 480 so i'm pretty sure most games i am able to run on max settings. My roomates and friends have helped me with the set up but it's still a ton of information so I can also learn new things about it. (I'm def not a PC expert)

Thanks for help in advance! :) 

Disclaimer* i know it would have been cheaper to build my own. that's what everybody says lol. But for my first gaming PC and the easy/painless 2 day shipping this felt sooo much easier. Plus I can also upgrade later on. 

EDIT 1: Also I was planning on rebuying one of my all time favorite games in skyrim for ps4 with the new remastered edition. But I literally see no point in doing that now that i have this haha. Any advice on PC gaming controllers that are pretty good? Also tips for mods IE how to get them lol.

 

here is my PC                                                                          and here is the monitor i got

Cool, Cool, but can you play Bloodborne? The Last of Us? Disgaea? God of War? Until Dawn? Second Son? Bayonetta 2 ? Any WiiU game? This year's GOTY, Uncharted 4?

Are you gonna spend all that money on all those awesome specs and then just play League of Legends? Have you accepted Jesus into your heart? These are things you need to ask yourself.

Well I still have my Ps4 so yes lol. Actually I've already played all of those games anyway besides the Wii U ones. 

No not just for League. I do other things on my PC as well. And now that I can actually run games I already got steam and plan to pick some up!

Yes I'm a gay Christian.

Welcome to the Masterra... League you say?? Well in that case your worse than the console scum you once were
No but seriously congrats... even if you only half ascended (16:9 scum)



One of the most popular places for mods is nexusmods.com. They're so much easier to manage now than it used to be, too. When I started with Fallout 3, it was all manual installation. For the most part, you just download their Manager and you're good, though that doesn't apply to all mods. You have to read mod instructions carefully. Some will need you to alter a few things in your game-files but you usually just need to do that once and not for subsequent mods.

Read things like bug reports and be smart about conflicts. For instance, if you download two mods that alter the same thing, it's kind of logical that there might be a problem. I also recommend adding mods one at a time so if there is a crash, you can pin-point the cause.

That being said, games like Fallout and Skyrim are such known quantities now that most popular mods work well. On this PC, after hundreds of hours on Fallout 4, and with 98 installed mods, I've had maybe three crashes.



awesome, enjoy! if you need any help I'm here





Welcome home brother.
