If you can give me suggestions & information about the gaming computer spec i have below that I want to build myself. PLEASE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS!!!

This is what I have in mind:

Case: Reasonable Price on a Full Tower

Processor: Intel® Core⢠i7 4820K Processor (4x 3.70GHz/10MB L3 Cache)
(TBH, something at least 3.0+ghz or what do you guys recommend)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 -- 4x PCI-E 2.0 x16
(I wanted something that can do up to 3-SLI/3 Graphic cards for future purposes or to hear your opinions)

ram: 16GB 2x8GB DDR3-2133 Memory Module
(I really would like to stick to 8GB Sticks only, would love you hear your opinions and does it make any difference on brand?)

graphic card: GeForce GTX 760 Ti (OEM)
(I was gonna buy one now, and in a year or two later I can buy more if my graphic card cant support the game, am I doing this right to save money and to keep it up to date with future games?)

Fan: I REALLY DO NEED HELP, TRYING TO AVOID LIQUID COOLER?
(I REALLY NEED HELP HERE)

Hard Drive: 500GB at least
(I've been looking into SSD, but they are so expensive for 500gb...
I also read that it's good for gaming? But it only makes a difference in the loading screen not game play.. if someone knows anything about it? Thanks)

CD/DVD: Some Random reason price one with blue ray
(Any recommendation?)

Wifi/Bluetooth: Any some reasonable quality internal thing.
(Any recommendation?)

Media Card: Internal Media card reader
(Any recommendation?)

power supply: some kind of 1200 waltz power supply
(I dont know if any brand or stuff makes a big difference...)


PLEASE, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND OPINIONS!!!
This is my first time...The only website I know of is newegg.com and if anyone knows a really detailed guide.
thank you!



Answer
What are you going to do with it? I hope not only gaming?

SSD's are only good for acces/transfer times.. so it will only help at loading times but ofcourse not in the actual gameplay. It will also help to keep windows snappy and boot it up fast. Just get a 120GB disk to put windows+programs on it plus a 1 or 2 tb hard drive.
Bluray drives are expensive and useless.. it's 2013 and optical media are dead. A DVD player might be useful only for drivers and os installation.

And in my opinion: Don't go for multiple videocards. Selling the old graphics card and buying a single new one is in my opinion almost always a better option. That way you get less heat, newer technology and no need for expensive psu's and motherboards.

How to change bad looking subtitles on DVD I create?




Tammy


I've been working on some subtitles for a project I was in.
The subtitles look fine when I use VLC media player with the video + srt files.
I want to burn this project to a DVD but when I create the ISO file and check how the subtitles look, after adding them as an option with the DVD creating software I use (DVD Styler, but this happened with other softwares as well) the subtitles look very bad. I tried changing the font but it didn't help.

Here are examples of what happens -

BTW - the default font on both VLC and my DVD creating software for subtitles are Arial.

(not interested in buying special fonts)



Answer
Subtitles on a dvd are actually bitmap images, not text. They're not part of the video either so the mpeg-2 compression doesn't affect them. Sometimes the conversion process from text to images just doesn't come out very good.

You could try making a test dvd ("just generate" to your hard drive, don't make an actual disc) with lots of short videos and just try different settings for the subtitle appearance. Font (including bolding), size, outline thickness, shadow and whatever other options are available can affect the quality. Don't forget to save the project so you can go back and see which settings looked good.
This would be a good question to ask at DVD Styler's forum (or other dvd authoring software) so someone who's already gone through all that can give you a recommendation. http://forum.videohelp.com/ and http://forum.doom9.org are other good places to ask for advice.
(results from both these sites come up if you google: best font for dvd subtitles )
