[mod]Sorry, but no. We do not need to encourage it, even in the off-topic forum. There has been too much brony drama already. This is getting nipped in the bud here and now.[/mod] Cheers! Capt\'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

I do compare my order on NewEgg, TigerDirect and a few other places and shipping kills it every time. Amazon gives me free shipping and I have some credit there, so it\'s pretty much set in stone that I order there. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

I\'ve dropped the cooler and 520 for a 550 Ti and 2 more cases fans. Hope fully I\'ll be placing my order by tomrrow! Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Man, I remember only having Legos shaped like bricks and you had to use a lot of imagination to build things. Now a days it seems like they are just snap together pre-built toys. No imagination required. Now... get offa mah lawn! Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Thank you for your opinion. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Arcane, you know better than to dredge up old threads. I\'ve noticed your on a little mini-posting spree with your new name. Be very careful, your treading on very shaky ground here. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

The video card I had already was a 2Gb while the one Tiharo is suggesting is only 1Gb. I tend to want to side with the more ram vs more GPU here. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

20-30 fps is poor to you? Man, I\'d be dancing in the aisles. Also, you have to expect a lower performance on the unoptimized KSP code. KSP isn\'t the only game I\'ll be running. I\'m hoping to be able to play Skyrim on high settings as well as Battlefield 3. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Ah, you left out the SSD but still included the mounting hardware. I knew something was off, but could not put finger on it. Question, what advantage does the video card you suggested have over the one I had listed? Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Yes on the SSD, it\'s for the OS only. Also, I don\'t need more than 500Gb HD as I have file servers for storage. I want the liquid cooler to give me potential overclocking safety as well as the ability to handle any i7 upgrade in the future. If I can get another fan in that case and under budget, I\'ve no problem. The plan was to use the fan port on the top for the cooler. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Intel/ASUS... I swears by it. Never had a problem with that combo. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

It has to come in under $900, shipping included and come from Amazon (using amazon credit to pay for part of order). Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Two problems, I\'m a self-confessed NVIDIA fanboi and I wouldn\'t touch a Sapphire brand card if you paid me. I\'ve tweaked my video card selection since originally posting. Got a GT 520 in the setup now. Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky

Okay then, stop arguing with others here on the forums. Debate and discussion are one thing, but you are chiding someone for 'cheating' when it\'s impossible to cheat. Also, as imdying pointed out, we are here to test this game and that includes tweaking user accessible settings to try and break the game. Cheers! Capt\'n Skunky KSP Community Manager

There is no such thing as cheating in a sandbox game. In order for something to be a cheat, there has to be some form of competition. As this member is just tweaking things to his personal liking, there is no cheating. Please stop berating other users for playing the game the way they want to, there are no rules to cheat here.

You can\'t afford as little as $3.50 a month? You don\'t know anybody that already has hosting and is willing to hook you up? Arrr! Capt\'n Skunky
