Building a gaming PC specialized for Skyrim.
DashingKnight replied to Dovahking96's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
I could care less about the argument. I just stated what I bought and the reason behind it. Then I got slammed. If you scroll back I mentioned the fact that Alienware was overpriced and agreed with rhowington that you can save allot of money by building your own. If you can do that successfully then take his advice. That was what I suggested for the topic creator. Don't know how this got off topic, but if it was in anyway my fault then I sincerely apologize for it. Topic creator just shop around and get whatever is the best bang for the buck and to your liking. You know your budget, so just work with that and forget about everything else. I have nothing more to say in this thread other than best of luck. :smile: -
Building a gaming PC specialized for Skyrim.

Actually no, you can choose / change from a huge number of custom color variations from the Alienware command center at the push of a button at anytime. Whenever you want. Your not locked into one color or have to do anything manually. Just push a button. There is also, a chrome Alien head that extends out and has glowing eyes that changes color. The eyes change colors depending on what your doing. If you press the head an automated hidden compartment activates and drops down like the landing ramp on the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. The cabinet is very futuristic and small in size. It's as quiet as a mouse and you can barely hear it running. As far as overheating goes... I can have the PC on for the entire day and when I touch it anywhere it's ice cold. I also, use my own different monitor, keyboard, mouse and XBOX controller that has nothing to do with Alienware. I don't really care what others think. Hate on Alienware as much as your heart desires. I adore the PC and couldn't be happier. All my friends in real life love it to, so the part about not being able to live it down doesn't apply. Hate on as I enjoy and laugh. It doesn't bother me in the least. :laugh: -
K ENB will still look awesome and be a great choice for what I'm looking for though right?

Thanks very much for your replies! If K ENB is close to Kountervibe then I think I'll give it a try. :smile:

Did I buy a good PC?

Now, that I actually have my hands on it I couldn't be happier. I'm extremely happy with my decision! :dance: -
Building a gaming PC specialized for Skyrim.

I know that Alienware is way overpriced, but I'm simply thrilled with mine. It was money well spent in my opinion. It's literally like a spaceship. I've never seen so much detail put into a machine. -
EDIT: I just got Somber ENB Antique - Extreme Version working with maximum textures and meshes. I'm never turning back!

I can relate to you on the mixed reviews. Left me scratching my head. :confused: Alienware will run you about $3000.00. I didn't want to take any chances so I just went that route. Like others have said you can probably build an awesome PC yourself for half that price and still do very well. -
Building a gaming PC specialized for Skyrim.
DashingKnight replied to Dovahking96's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
This is the PC I recently bought. I got it for the same reason you did Dovahking96. I wanted to be able to unlock Skyrim's full potential. Plus have something that would hopefully last awhile and play new games in the future. This PC is defiantly not budget friendly though. Like my dear friend rhowington said you can save allot of money by building your own. If you can do that successfully then take his advice. As for me this is what I decided to get: PC: - Alienware custom built. Premium Liquid Cooling. Processor: - Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Processor. (10M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz). Operating System: - Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit. Memory: - 16GB (4 X 4GB) Quad Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz. Hard Drive: - 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s. Video Card: - NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 690 4GB GDDR5. -
Thoughts for more immersive mods
DashingKnight replied to YellowBearPaw's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
I have a great idea.... First, make the switch from Console to PC. Then create this wonderful Mod for all to enjoy. :smile:- 6 replies

You defiantly made the right decision by switching from Console to PC. I'm afraid you will have to dig a little deeper in your pockets if you want to truly max out Skyrim to it's fullest potential though. -
Advice on the choice of texture mod please
DashingKnight replied to saiikyo's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
Would you recommend this for all PC's or just weaker ones? -
In your honest opinion what do you think the future holds for Skyrim Mod authors?

I like the sound of that! :smile:

DashingKnight replied to DashingKnight's topic in Hardware and software discussion
I wouldn't even know where to begin maintaining the Liquid Cooling system. Would any PC shop be able to do this for me? How would I even know when it needed servicing? I would hate to think the PC would die in a few years. With what I shelled out, I was really hoping it would last a long time. :confused: -
Please help me Mod Skyrim for this PC
DashingKnight replied to DashingKnight's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
I'm in trouble then, because the PC has already been paid for and built. I can't afford to make any changes now. -
Please help me Mod Skyrim for this PC
DashingKnight replied to DashingKnight's topic in Skyrim's Skyrim LE
Gopher is the man! Those videos are extremely helpful. I'm going to try to use all those Mods he recommended. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether to go with RealVision ENB like Gopher features or Sharpshooters or Kountervibe ENB? I have been told by many that Kountervibe is the best??? I'm going for the realistic approach, so I'll be experimenting with the highest possible face and body textures as well. Now let's just hope I don't burn my PC up. :laugh: -

I have no idea about ssd. I'm not all that technical savvy to be honest. I just trusted my friends advice on this build. It will still be ok won't it? -

I have never in my life had a strong PC. I will soon have a PC that may finally allow me to unlock Skyrim's full potential. I would be most grateful if you guys would offer some Mod advice and recommendations. In the end I know it all comes down to personal taste and preference. I'm interested in each of your opinions though. There are so many wonderful Mods to choose from and it can be confusing. I've never had this kind of opportunity before and really want to go all out. Here is my goal... I'm looking for the ultimate and most realistic visual and immersive experience possible for my new PC's specifications without burning it up. I'd like the most up to date and technically advanced Mods to max out Skyrim. I need suggestions on what works well together and how to accomplish true realism game wise. (Primarily Visually) If you could be so kind as to compile a list of Mods I should try together it would be wonderful! I know there have been other threads like this but everyone's needs and PC's are different. Here is my PC specifications: PC: - Alienware custom built. Premium Liquid Cooling. Processor: - Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Processor. (10M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz). Operating System: - Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit. Memory: - 16GB (4 X 4GB) Quad Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz. Hard Drive: - 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s. Video Card: - NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 690 4GB GDDR5. Thanks in advance!

Anyone who takes the time to create Mods and freely shares them with the rest of us has my respect. You don't owe us anything. I think it's wonderful of you to even consider uploading your Mod. Just try to ignore the whiners, complainers and haters. (It's difficult to do this... trust me I know) Best of luck in whatever you decide. If you do share your Mod I hope it has great success. :smile:
