Good News (for a change) & Bad News (nothing new)

[+Piecemeal 450]

Greetings all!!!

 

Any day now I'm due to be back in the land of the gaming. I've finally been able to purchase a new gaming rig after my old 'un got fried in a power surge last year. Good news is; I've been able to splash out on a reasonably high spec PC Specialist Vortex Fusion II unit with:

* Windows 10 64-bit

* Overclocked Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor

* 4.6 Ghz Quad Core with 8mb cache

* 16Gb DDR4 RAM

* 2Tb Main Drive w/ 240Gb SSD drive

 

Unfortunately It doesn't come with a wireless LAN card. I managed to obtain a Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card but I'm not sure if it'll be compatible with the new rig. Does anybody know if it is?

Also, it appears that my old PS2 keyboard is not compatible with Windows 10, but strangely enough, it was working just fine when I set it up initially after turning it on for the first time. Looks like a USB keyboard is my only option here, so it'll be Friday at the earliest until that gets sorted. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning that has no batteries for his toys!!

Congratulations! Didn't mention your video card, tho.

Not sure, as I don't have access to it until I get myself a USB keyboard, but it's got an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB GDDR5) graphics card

Nice one and about time.......things might look a bit different in SF world when you are up and running!

I've got a lot of work on my hands over the coming weeks. Essentially I'm going to have to start from scratch and re-download most if not all the mods I had in my SF2 install.

I'm also thinking about getting DCS World as I've watched a lot of YouTube videos and it seems damn impressive, even if the learning curve is pretty steep. There'll also have to be the obligatory control stick, throttle and rudder pedals to buy.
