I found a new completed build!

I've finally found something that I've always wanted, a new build! I am a bit too lazy, so I decided not to build my own PC, but to buy a finished one. Altos Pro Gamer, it's got some sci-fi case that I don't know the name of, a high-end Intel i5 processor inside, along with an MSi GTX 970. Z97 motherboard (the best one on the market at the moment) with 8GB DDR3 memory connected to it. The build also contains 1TB of HDD and 125GB of SSD, so it's like a win-win. I would post the link here, but the webpage's in Serbian, so fuck it lol.
The GTX 970 is currently the best choice for me because it's not that expensive as the GTX 780 was when it came out and the 970 is also the so-called new TitanKiller.
Why not the 980? It's only a frame stronger, and costs about 50 euro more.
The entire build is at around 1,1k dollars (950 euro), so it's pretty cheap! Last year, for the same price, i was able to buy a build with a GTX 770, which still wasn't the newest card on NVidia's market.
I don't know whether i'll be buying this build at all, but if do, i shall make sure to put it to good use (editing, gaming, uploading, rendering, recording). Laaateeers :D

THE CREW - Just a racing game

NOTE: These are just my first impressions of Ubisoft's new long-awaited sandbox racing title. I probably won't be posting the review, because I won't be buying the game (not because the game is bad, but because I'm waiting for something better to come out).
So, today I got to my buddy's place and he surprised me with his freshly bought copy of The Crew. I was really excited to check it out because Ubisoft did promise us 20-30 hours of campaign and a sandbox that contained some sort of a mini-America. I didn't have much time to stay though, so we jumped straight to campaign.
The campaign starts out pretty uncomprehendable, you just start driving a car while the cops are breathing down your throat, trying to ram your, somehow, extremely fast pick-up truck. The dialogues were dull and annoying, not really to be anyone's cup of tea. The mission was to go through checkpoints in order to succeed. Pretty interesting eh? But, that doesn't mean that the game is boring. Quite in fact, it's pretty damn fun! You will have to wait in order to unlock other regions of the map by levelling up and completing missions. I forgot the names of all the states included in the starting region, but I think Michigan and Nova Skotia are in there.
A lot of side missions are on the map, so my buddy and I had no trouble finding what to do. Storyline missions were mostly just races that got a lot more money than the side missions. The game overall looks great, although the foliage is a bit too repetitive and non-stylish. I ran into a lot of houses with the same looks and textures, the trees are the same too, not that many types of models.
Not that much more that I can say, but THE CREW is definitely a fun game, full of eye candy. I did only explore 2% of the map, which means that this game may have a lot more than we know for now.
Lateers. :D
