    Nowhere! I'll buy the parts and build it myself. Alternatively you can choose your parts and have it made for you. In Australia a good site is Mwave, I'm sure there are similar websites where you are. Cost will be about A$2500

     

    Cheers

    I made aa few tweaks on my build but the parts are on their way and the PC should be ready for release day! Looking forward to having a new PC for FM22!

  2. Finally buying a new PC after 10 years. My current one has a i5-3470, 8Gb DDR3 and a Nvidia GT640. I am surprised at how well it has lasted but it is finally time to upgrade. I am currently looking at the following

    i7 11700K

    32GB (4x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz

    970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe 1.3 M.2

    GeForce GTX 1650

    I know its probably overpowered but I want it to be usable for many years. My wife will use it for work sometimes which is only word processing and publisher and besides FM it will only be used for browsing and playing the other game I like, Patrician 3 (old school I know) Obviously the system is fairly high end but my current PC has meant I can't play many leagues on FM. I would really like to be able to play FM with most leagues not necessarily playable but with a lot of detail eg 150,000-200,000 players. What are peoples thoughts? Thanks in advance for your feedback. 

     

  3. Hi all, 

    I am still in the research phase of buying a new PC and am comparing two CPUs and really want to know a couple of things.

    Benefits of cores vs Ghz?

    I am looking to compare 

    Intel Core i7 10700K Octa Core LGA 1200 3.80GHz Unlocked CPU Processor 

    and 

    Intel Core i9 10900F 10-Core LGA 1200 2.80GHz CPU Processor

    Is one significantly better then the other?

     

    thanks a lot

  4. Thanks all, I figured it out. When I downloaded and extracted the skin I just cut and pasted the whole folder into the skins folder. The folders as downloaded meant I had to click thru 2 folders to get to the config file, when I removed one of the folders it worked fine. 

  5. Hi, 

    I have downloaded a skin (Dark Polish 21), extracted it and moved it to the skins folder in FM 21 but it does not show in game, only the default skin shows as an option. 

    Any idea why this is occurring and how to fix? I have used skins in previous versions of FM and never had an issue. 

     

    thanks in advance

    @canberraguy The new Ryzens are out in November and they look superb.  I'm an Intel guy myself but I think with these new processors they will catch up with Intel for a standard FM setup and will be a LOT better if you aim to run in higher detail - check out the FM20 Performance Benchmarking Thread.  Benchmark 3 has the detail level ramped up.

    Your choice of graphics card seems sensible enough based upon your needs as are your cooling and storage choices. 

    It's all preference though really as I'd personally go for a cheaper SSD and probably an air cooler so that I could sink all of my funds into getting the best processor I could afford because it's the most important thing FM-wise

    Do you have a PSU already or does that need to be factored into the cost?

     

    Thanks for the advice mate. Yes I have a PSU so that’s not a concern. I’ll look into the cheaper SSD and research the new Ryzens

  7. Hi all, Posted in the wrong thread, sorry admin. 

    After 9 years of service I want to upgrade my PC. I don't even want to think about how many hours it has run FM!

    I am looking at upgrading to the following, FYI I don't play FPS and really besides home use the only other game I play is Blood Bowl, so graphics is not super important. I will be using some prexisting parts such as my case (Antec 1200v3). Any feedback on if this is over/underkill let me know. I was told a Ryzen might be better, I am only really familiar with Intel so any advice is appreciated. I  would like to play most leagues at a high level of detail. Thanks in advance My budget is about $1500 Australian
