    Not sure what that's equals in £ but here you can get them for £100 new which isn't much for a gpu (the most important part for a PC) and probably a lot less used. It's up to  you what you buy but because of the new consoles, games are going to use a lot more power. It hard for me to recommend a card for your budget as because of the price differences in countries. What's the max you want to spend though?
    Equals 111 pounds, max up price range up to $150 AUD.

    Edit: This one looks alright.

    Well if you really don't want to spend too much then get a 650ti but the 700 series is a lot more efficient. The 750ti uses less power than  a 6670 buts a lot more powerful. For a big upgrade a 760 would be a massive upgrade and not too expensive if you shop around.
    So a Nvidia 750ti?

    Edit: Too expensive for me $200 or more over here.

    For gaming? No it's not. Really more of a multi media gpu. Nvidia are releasing new gpu's soon so you might want to wait to see what the prices are for the midrange cards (if that's what you want) or for people to sell their 700 series cards. A 760 is pretty cheap and give pretty good performance for the price. When it comes to buying a gpu looking for the cheapest isn't really the best thing to do, as it's the most important part you'll only end up needing to upgrade sooner.
    I'm using a 6670 at the moment had it about 2 years just looking for something better.

  4. Don't worry Hughesy, I'll try to get to lvl 26 by the weekend, then we only need one other :) 

    Kinda glad I raced F1 2013 tonight, had my second best VRL race so far :D
    Good luck trying to level past 20, i hit 20 about 2 days ago and now where near going to 21. You need to find light items to level and its so hard finding any.

    Edit: The first expansion pack should be out Nov/Dec.

  5. Technically 3 planet and a Moon :p It isn't great, but I'm still pretty happy with what we got, though adding Mercury, Pluto and Uranus would be pretty badass.
    I did read that we would be able to go to a space station type place orbiting Jupiter but not seen anything since about that. Apparently Jupiter doesn't show on the planet map with standard versions, but Ghost and Limited Editions have a place for it, so maybe part of one of the DLC? Check your copy @couger1981 :p 

    Just shared a new knife kill clip on Xbox (Smartglass is way better now) @Hughesy, reckon it beats yours ;) 
    There is space for one or two more planets.

    Not yet as I only turned level 20 last night and haven't played today yet. I have far too much time on my hands now, the joys of only working part time now :(  I get bored having nothing to do all day, I'll get used to it eventually lol.
    I turned light as soon as i hit lvl 20 i must have had a light item in my items.
    Maybe I did and just didn't notice as I was really tired lol. Do you know when the dlc is meant to be released? Are they just releasing one at a time?
    No idea yet haven't checked the website.

    I was the same, but you just need to get better and always aim for the head as it'll kill them quick. What do you class as a one shot kill weapon? I use a pretty weak weapon in regards to impact power and do ok now. When I first jumped into mp I got slaughtered, but went back last night and did really well. There'll always be balancing issues with a new ip but it's not too bad, plus when you lose you get good gear compared to when you win most of the time ;)
    I'm only just getting back into mp after many years of not playing it. Titanfall got me playing online again but Destiny has me hooked on it lol. Now that I look at the radar to see where people are I do much better. It also depends on what mode you play, as some use your players level and some don't but obviously it won't be everyone's cup of tea. I'm just glad I gave it another chance, as originally I wasn't going to play competitive multiplayer again. Even without playing it there's so much to do in the game so that's good. 
    I never complain if people so called camp, as that's just one way to play and not really the best way imo
    Mainly snipers from people camping on top of a building and i normally use the fusion gun 2nd shot normally gets them.

    Edit: Have you found any light items?

    Mars has some high level enemies takes a bit to get them down, plus the surface is very dusty so it hard to see in the distance like the Earth, Venus & the Moon.
    Sounds fun, I haven't done any story missions for a while. I've been the Crucible which surprises me as I didn't think I'd enjoy it. So far I've only done control matches. Just unlocked something that changes the colour of your armour, it's now blue and looks very nice. I just hit level 20, this is by far the best next gen game imo. I'll probably buy the dlc even though it's expensive as I love the game do much, I hope it adds a lot of content. :) Do you know when they get released? As there's no point buying it until it's about to come out.

    @RevolvingPrawn Once you hit level 20 there's heroic missions we can do. :)

    I'm going to build up my sub class tomorrow to see what it's like. There's so much to do in this game even though the story is very short.
    Not a fan of crucible, too many campers and people using one shot one kill weapons.

    It's SPRING gentlemen, meaning that the horrible 10 degree winter weather is long gone and the 20+ weather is coming back.  :D
    10c is pretty warm for the UK lol I'm actually glad it's starting to cool down in the UK now as my game room gets very hot in the summer. I was going to buy air conditioning but didn't think it would be worth it, as it's not hot here for much of the year.
    Same with me i prefer the cold to keep my computer running colder.

    It's really annoying that it kicks you like that. I hope this doesn't become a common problem as that would put me off playing it.
    @Couger1981 Just looked on xbl and buying the pass that only includes the two expansions costs £34.99 what the hell. That's the full price of a game on PC. Proves my point that they cut content from the game, and them trying to charge a crazy price for it :'(
      Some people on Gamefaqs said the Beta looked bigger than the game were playing now.

    Edit: According to some people Bungie put the rest of the story on those Grimoire cards and you have to go to their website to read them.

    Ah I see. I just got booted out of a mission due to "network issues" :s First time that happened to me.
    Yep i got booted yesterday right when i was fighting the last boss on a strike mission, always wondered what my team mates said when i disappeared lol.

    Destiny got a 6/10 on Gamespot. It does seem like a tiny game compared to what was advertised before it came out.  It's much. Better than a 6 in my view but the amount of dlc that's going to come makes me sad as the base game should've been much bigger, but it's going to follow Cod and be a cash grab. I thought the story was going to be huge on it own, it seems like half the game is missing.

    It's still an awesome game especially if you have mates that play it (I don't as they mainly only play PC games)  but I have found some strangers that were great fun to play alongside. Tonight I'll have @RevolvingPrawn to play with so that should be fun :)
    Apparently the upcoming expansions will unlock the rest of the game.
    But I take it you have to pay for them? I'll probably pay for them as I love the game, but I hate the way the industry is going. :(

    i just downloaded the companion app  but it looks horrible on IPad Air as it's only made for phones so the resolution is low :s
    Ive already unlocked them once they become available, it was apart of the pre order bonus.

    Expansion 1: The Dark below
    Expansion 2: House of wolves
    What how is that fair? I pre ordered the game and didn't get that, or did you buy special edition or something?
    Got the ghost edition, camera pics are in the game thread.
