Well, I don't do adventure maps. I play survival, mostly multiplayer. I just dislike HQM, no matter if I'm forced to use it or not. it's as simple as that. Sorry m8, just my preference, and I'm not the only one guaranteed. :)

by hand holding I mean telling me what to do in a sandbox game. Do Not Want.

It depends on how you look at it. Every minute it is on, you're just wasting power in the form of heat. The way I see it, If it only costs $20 extra to save you more than that in the lifetime of your PSU, why not?

I personally don't care if HQM is in mainstream packs or not, as long as I'm not forced to do the "quests." I dislike the mod, as I dislike hand-holding. I play minecraft because I enjoy tinkering and figuring things out, not being told what to do. No, Peppy, I will not do a barrel roll...

You would be correct sir. If only you could post that image without getting wrath. :P

hmm... Goblins. but no seriously, that's odd. I would try opis next time you experience this crazy lag and see what comes up. it's likely world related, because it sure isn't hardware related.

yep, basically that's about it. but I'll spend $20 more on a PSU if it will end up saving me $100 in the long run in power bills.

You would be correct. There are only a few brands of PSU that I trust personally. You'd be surprised how much money I've spent due to my own bad choices on computer hardware. I only know what I know due to mistakes I've made in the past.

but it's not going to save you any/much money, so why?

efficiency means a lot. less efficient PSUs create more heat for your machine to dissipate, and higher power bills. a gold rated PSU isn't that much more, and honestly, PSU isn't something you should skimp on. I've seen failed PSU take out all 3 mobo, CPU, and gpu. I've spent thousands of...

Hey, at least there's something we see eye to eye on. ;)

You're missing his stated goal; to create a Minecraft dedicated machine. Minecraft does not require a powerhouse GPU. It requires a strong CPU, a decent amount of RAM, and virtually any dedicated GPU will do. It pains me to see the bad little myth of a "balanced" PC is still alive and well...

Well, consider the other option... Everybody posts in one thread, it becomes a convoluted mess, and then people start pointing fingers shouting "thread hijacker!" at eachother. @mattbruschi what are your system specs, how much ram do you have allocated to minecraft, and have you made any...

The only difference you'll see is more dollars missing from your pocket. That is a very real difference, and not worth buying one "just to see" imo. edit: I mean, the parts are the exact same. there is no such thing as a high performance ibuypower model of the 4790k.

I just had a peek on ibuypower, haven't seen them in years. Their price difference between the K variant and standard CPU you've chosen is $40. You can buy them on the internet at the same price as the other. This is what people are trying to tell you when they're saying build it yourself...

Yeah, that was a pretty hot chip once upon a time. It was fairly pricey when it was new and cutting edge. Since that time, the process for creating quad core dies has been refined, and further improvements like FinFET transistors have made it's successors more powerful and cheaper to produce...

I would hope so. the Q9400 is a Yorkfield, several generations old. :)

Theoretically yes. You would be limited on the number of people you can host and still maintain playability, though. I'm still firmly in the build-it-yourself camp. You can get a much nicer rig if you do the work. If you build it yourself, there really isn't much price difference between the...

Yeah, that's exactly why I can't stand them. I have an amstaff, an american foxhound, and a saluki. All of my dogs are rescues/shelter dogs, two of them probably would have been killed by PETA, but they've been amazing.

and 100% of pit bull terriers/amstaffs/anything that looks like a pit.
