12/20 is tough to pull.   Maybe every 2000 pieces from what I recall.   Anytime I build a suit though I have an exact resist distribution that i look for and if a crafted piece exceeds what i need and survives the reforge or enhance then I usually adjust the next most difficult piece if the previous amount over can be used.  Last time I did this though 8 do remember adjusting a beetle jacking script to specifically keep my backpack near full so that I couldn't receive wood from trees but only special resources.   It was a huge increase in the amount of bark I other at the cost of no wood but I burned over 600k bark so it was worth it.    Good luck.

Just Finishing up my own new build so I've been visiting pcpartpicker very regularly & just saw this guy's setup.   Heh...   some pepole are crazy creative!

Just curious bc the oem Win 8.1 64 bit is $89 and Retail 32/64 bit 8.1 is $99 but not clear on the differences.... 

OK...   So my 3.5 year old Phenom II x 6 (~2.6 Ghz)just isn't doing it for me any more & when the Radeon HD 5750(1 Gig) died on me a few weeks ago It just made me REALLY want to do a new build.   The computer would primarily be for BF4 / UO and general home use.   I'm 300+ Hrs deep into BF4 & hadn't touched UO in a few months but the urge is still there.  If I'm not scripting something in UO I just feel like I'm missing out hehe.

So...   with all that said I talked with my friend who's a Senior Tech Manager at Nvidia & he's got me all hyped up about upgrading from my 5 year old 60 Hz. monitor to a 120 Hz 1080p gaming setup.  I'm pretty convinced that the difference from 60 - 120 fps will be amazing from all the reading I've done and lets be honest because I was getting 45-60 at best FPS on the LOWEST settings in BF4 LoL..   I can't imagine how much more addictive it might be at Ultra'ish settings and buttery smooth 120 fps (though that's the HARD part.)

Here's what I've got so far... The Max is $2,000 and ideall a few hundred Cheaper would make the Wife happy.  I realize the EVGA gtx 780 TI SC + ACX is insanely expensive but it's really the only card that I've managed to look up that people are claiming 120 FPS / 1080p @ Ultra (minus a few settings...)

Also..  Mild OC for the CPU for sure though that will be my first try at this and possibly for the GPU but all of this will probably require some additional Fan upgrades which can wait for a future date.

I plan to reuse my Blueray / Burner & I have 7200 1.5 TB that I will pair up with the SSD..   Really looking forward to SSD load speeds heh.

So..   My current thoughts...

1) Wish it was less $$$.
2) When does the gtx 780 ti price drop??  When the gtx 790 comes out so I hear.. but when is that?  (friend claims to have no info lol)
3) I've read Higher Speed Ram effects frames in Bf4 but only if GPU / CPU aren't the bottleneck...
4)  Hmm...  Memorial Day Sales for parts perhaps?  May 26th ... bleh month wait but I guess if decent sales are available could make the wife happy $$$ wise...
5)  Thoughts on FPS Shooters are 120 Hz vs 60 Hz?   I'm pretty convinced it should be amazing but I'll be honest that's just bc I trust my tech friend and all the Bf4 Youtubers seem to go that way heh.

Thoughts?  Thx..

Let's just say I have Game of thrones season 4 opener on the ipad now somewhere .....LoL but I need a file browser that's not neutered to find where and move it so CineX player can play it etc..  Any suggestions?  It's the wife's toy but I toasted my PC mobo recently so she wanted her GoT season 4 fix NOW....I never play with this thing.

Interesting... probably good and it seems the Dev team might receive some more man power for bigger better projects etc..
