Yes. It was using around 5.5GB. So high was its usage that I had to download RAM Map so I could convert standby RAM to free RAM (the method Windows uses to free up standby RAM when required isn't perfect, apparently -- I actually ran out of free RAM entirely when downloading a particularly large file from Mega, and annoyingly I had to start it again as Firefox refused to address the fact that more RAM had been freed up [not much but enough to complete the download]).

Thanks, will probably get more RAM as that is cheap enough. Not sure about an i7 though, may bump up the price a bit too much for my liking. This current build would cost me 1130(including the rest of the components)

What a bloated port. 5.5GBs? How many GBs were assigned to gaming for consoles?
Look up some slightly less beefy but a lot cheaper Xeon CPUs.

I miss the time when you could download more RAM.
That's the amusing thing -- both the PS4 and X1 currently offer 5GB in total to devs.

This is amazing.
I'm the exact opposite. I'd love to play a game with similar gameplay and a less disgusting artstyle.
LOL everything is free!

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
It was his fault by starting this shit at random. I almost feel like doing an NekoPara OT, but I don't think that the game is big enough for something like that.

Haha, that is amazing!
My PC already feels so much faster with that triple RAM.
If you want to do it, go for it. As long as you can keep it to the steam version, there shouldn't be too many issues with it.
I do wish that it never had an R18+ version though, honestly.
Is Xeon branded differently in Europe? Can't find any Xeon CPUs in the stores were.
Would a i7 4790 (3.6GHz) do?
I kept running out of memory when playing Wolfenstein so much so that it kept crashing and I have 12gb.
(might have had something to do with me having a ton of tabs open in two browsers at the time hogging up a lot of memory.)

Check out the Xeon E3-1231.
what rpgs were there?
Regular i7s (ones branded without the "K") have very restricted overclocking capabilities. You'd be better off with a generously-overclocked, unlocked i5 than a barely-overclocked, bog-standard i7.

i7 4790K
16 GB RAM minimum
Get a second hand 750 Ti or something and get a better card when you have more money.
GPUs come and go but CPUs are 4 LYFE (kinda).

Hmm, search for "Xeon E3 1230v3" or "1231v3" those are the latest quad core Xeon CPUs IIRC. Those usually don't come with integrated graphics, use less power and run cooler. However both loses to 4790, it's a top of the line quad core after all, whether you think the price is justifiable for the performance boost is another thing.

No difference really except that they're missing the integrated GPU.
Check the (German) benchmarks: http://www.computerbase.de/2014-05/intel-xeon-e3-1231-v3-nachfolger-1230-test/4/

Wait dying light is a January release?
I have that preordered and didn't even know. Might wait though since it's sure to be a mess on pc come release like dead island.
Still waiting on life is strange to show up somewhere for cheaper.

Don't listen to this man.
Unless you can afford a 970 soon on top of his rich blood recommendations.

Pick one.
Don't forget the "v3", v2 is sandy bridge, v3 is ivy.
They are server CPUs, but that doesn't mean they are bad.

Had an amazon gift card from Christmas so I'm finally replacing my trusty Logitech G5. Been wanting a wireless mouse for a while so I ordered the Steel Sensei. Amazon had a like new warehouse deal for 100 bucks which took it to a more acceptable price.
Of course I forgot CES is around the corner and it will be replaced but such is life when you have prime and it ships within minutes >_>

Perfect. Should be enough for all games besides emulator based.

Replacing a graphics card is much easier. That said if someone has to save up a few months for one it would be utterly pointless to buy everything else now. Better wait for Skylake.
Only if you really don't care about money. But then it doesn't matter what you buy anyway.
Child of Light, Dark Souls II, Divinity: OS, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Might & Magic: X? Abd Banner Saga, that's another. That's just a few. There were plenty.

I dunno about Unity in particular but 8 gigs is fine for now imo. BTW, how much priority should we really give to memory speed? Like, 1600 mhz vs 2133 for example?
Oddly enough I can't find Xeon CPUs in any portuguese component stores at all.
Also I'm really jealous of anybody living in the US right now. I could get a GTX 970/i7490k/16GB ram build easily with my budget if I lived there, but here in Europe it's going to cost quite a bit much more.

I hear you.
Just got an e-mail from amazon since I've been browsing ram. This doesn't look too bad:

same thing happens here in brazil. a 970, for example, costs 2-3x more

That's weird. Xeons are great money savers, I bought my e3 1230v2 for around 215 USD, and it's only 5~10% weaker than a stock 4770.

Lol 8 gb of Ram. I would have gone with 32 gb in my most recent build if DDR4 wasn't so damn expensive compared to DDR3 still. I could never go sub 16 though.

I imported my 780 Ti, SSD and oodles of RAM from Amazon when the USD was in the toilet because it was so damn cheap compared to buying in Australia. Everything else I got locally as it wasn't that much of a price difference.
Shit fuck. Welp, at least I made like ten bucks.Oh, the price on gems is rising.

Amazon.com doesn't ship to Europe though, right?
Atraveller

It ships to nearly everywhere. But sellers on Amazon? It depends.
Man... there are some serious issues/scars in there.
And now I got spoiled that Chocolate goes in heat and I'll have to 'treat' it.
You can filter results to show only those that are AmazonGlobal-eligible. Said products can be shipped to those in the UK so I assume the rest of Europe is eligible, too.
only ones on that list ive tried or liked:
dark souls 2
blackguards
consortium
the rest are meh that ive tried. not my flavor. maybe risen 3 but i still havent finished risen.
valk was eh. i want to play grimrock, but i need to finish the first one, didnt touch dragonfall because shadowrun's last mission made me ragequit.
underrail is too alpha right now
the rest i dont give a shit about
