(In theory) If I were to start saving up for a computer build, which would be more expensive to buy a i7 Microprocessor or a video card*?
*like a 1060 or 1070?

Depends on what kind of GPU you are interested in. Any ideas?

I would mainly play PUBG with my online friends on a tree house forum I go to
Yeah, this is why I don't get the love/acceptance for Overwatch and not for CSGO. Is it because of 4 items instead of 1?

If you're going for a 1070 card, definitely the GPU. For the 1060 card, it'll be on par or cheaper than getting say one of the popular i7 CPUs like a 6700 or a 7700.

At 1080 and 60Hz, that would only require a 1050 Ti, which is half the price of a 1060 or above.
When you "saving up" we're talking about cards going at 300-400 and 600+, and that's in Euro. If you're not using outrageous resolutions (4k) and / or multiple screens, you don't need a heavy duty GPU like that.
Don't pay more than what you need now. Future proofing is bullshit when you're on a tight budget because by the time you'll replace this one, a superior card will be available at either lesser cost, or with you having a bigger budget than you do today (YMMV, but typically people do go up in salary during employment years, not down).
But then I am biased because that's the logic I used to validate my purchase of one. I am sure gaf with its many multi-screen setups will completely disagree, but then most here are not the 'esports only' kind of gamers either. Just my two cents on it.

So what are differences between 1070 and 1060 with i7 6700/7700 in prices?
Are the i9s just a rumour?
Sorry for the stupid questions..Haven't kept up with the hardware market in quite some time
If anything like the previous sale it should be easy to but all DLC with 20-30 bucks
Processorwise you're probably better off with a Ryzen nowadays in the price/performance department.

Is Ryzen Intel?
Any thoughts on >observer_?
I'm in the mood for some cyperpunk, but I'm hearing some conflicting opinions on if this one is worth it or not.
Ryzen is AMD.

EDF 4.1 is great. It's also extremely different from any other game out there I can think of. And a bit of a technical train-wreck
How so?
According to its steam page it unlocks when the store updates on the 29th.

Nope. 6PM BST tomorrow.
I mean, it's okay for me because I only have a half day tomorrow and then a few days off, but still.
Still haven't gotten my key from Humble either. Starting to get antsy.

At least you're playing the only existing version of an EDF game that features the brand new tech called "framerate"

Udon is giving out Okami Pins this weekend for PAX West.

I wonder if we will hear anything about that rumored Okami port this weekend. Also wonder if that street fighter collection that got leaked might show up as well.

I haven't tried using AutoHotKey for SFV myself (I mostly play on a hitbox or stick), but you could try asking in the SFV OT. Personally I'd worry about added input delay, but it could well be that AutoHotKey doesn't add any noticeable delay.

I'm partially expecting a new Xcom 2 patch for all users that will dramatically improve performance to show up along with War of the Chosen.
I'm also mostly expecting to be disappointed. But hey, it happened with Forza Horizon 3!
Edit: looks like there's some chatter about this in the Xcom 2 OT.
Edit2: ain't happening. Gotta get the expansion to get the fixes.

Lame.

Unlikely. Human Head barely survived their last game that was funded by Bethesda.

Interesting but not surprising, at least the way it is presented in this tweet. Of course, there is an overlap between the playerbase of two competitive shooters with lootboxes. Moreover, given equal polish, people tend to play the newer, trendier and more expensive game of the two.
However, I'm more impressed by the fact that 45% of PUBG owners have never played CS:GO. This means PUBG is able to attract people who were completely oblivious to hardcore online shooters.
Twitch streams have a big part to play with that. Not that CS Go isn't streamed of course, it is to a large degree, but there is something about seeing it happen and things being established when it's fresh and new that makes it more appealing to want to try out yourself vs something that is already old and established.

Arthea or other puzzle aficionadi - good implementation? Worth the money?
Looks to be a basic mobile port, but you know, Picross is Picross...
sorry, I'm not buying this one. I still have lots to do in Pepper's place and that game... annoys me to no end, especially with that horrible font and right mouse clicks not registering. Firstly you don't use a font like that anywhere, let alone in picross where there is significant difference between 8, 6, 9 and 5.
Why can't we have another game as amazing as Paint it Back...

Okami and Darkstalkers sure to get a lot of extra stuff even if they don't get games.
Like damn i'd take a fucking Dino Crisis crossover comic and a pin over the nothing i'm getting.

I was trying to tell people this in one of the thousand PUBG threads. Lots of CSGO players quit and moved to PUBG, including over half my group. Valve continues to ignore the community so the community is going elsewhere.
I'm really glad there's finally another PC shooter.

Well I guess Nixxes doesn't need to release a texture patch for Rise of the Tomb Raider anymore because the latest twist in the DF thread has revealed that the X1X has now gone from superior textures to actually slightly worse.
Atmos/HDR would be nice though.

Both TR1 and TR2 are at odd spots. The definitive versions are only on consoles but aren't actually definitive. But they still have some things that would've been nice to get on PC.
Okami news would be fantastic! That game needs to be available as many ways as possible.
getting a little better at la noire, it still seems like half the murderers get away with it but i'm catching the other half!
overall i've just moved into an ignore the side missions mentality cos they're all trash and idk, just rolling with it and enjoying the atmosphere and the story
i actually really like the narrative style, it's a lot more low key than usual for videogames which i feel suits me pretty well sometimes
i also really really like the music, i don't think it can be understated how good the music in la noire is
