Mr. McClendon

2.5GHz i5, 4GB DDR3, integrated FX 4000. 0 It's not bad for a laptop

I want to know how this build goes. I kinda only play "dad games" so top notch hardware just doesn't justify the price.

Well shoot. Okay, how much better will it be than my three year old MacBook pro?

I figured that the CPU would be fine for the job (quad core 3.0 GHZ can't really be slow can it?), as long as I paired it with a good motherboard and graphics card. I can spend about $250 but I'd much rather not. Again, KSP, and Space Engineers are going to be the most demanding on this rig as I have an Xbox one for AAA stuff. What's wrong with my CPU? $250. Again, not really looking to play AAA stuff on this rig.

Okay, I'm going to be building a PC for gaming. I don't need a machine that can play all the new big titles, I just want to play KSP, Space Engineers, and other games of the like. I have a few parts to start with. AMD Athalon II 640 4x at 3.0 Ghz, an Hp case (mid tower), a solid state HD, a second rather large HD, and 32 gigs of ram. So I need a motherboard and a Graphics card that can run two screens... and I don't want to break the bank, say $100 - 200 max.

I have a good design (I think), but I can't seem to get the darn thing in to space. The only up shot is my plane design-fu is getting much better.

Thanks. So there's no way to load pictures directly in a post?

After three, slightly less than planed, duna pass I finally got a scanner in polar orbit around Duna! It might have taken all but a few units of monopropellant to do it, but I did it just the same (half hour of RCS burn). As soon as I figure out how I'll post some pictures of the Scanning Rover/Pick-up truck I'm sending in what I think is a really cool landing pod/drop-ship.

I've got a great one for this if I can just keep it from exploding. Small problem really.

Thanks. This will help me on my evil master plan.

I have been messing about with KSP for a few weeks now. So far a great deal of fuel, construction materials, and Kerbals have been sacrificed on the alter of science and exploration. In order to achieve my goals (move a moon to destroy a planet) I have decided to focus my efforts a bit more, seek advise, and join the wider community.
