I got to ask tools what is your setup? I've been looking to upgrade to go back to my 30+ accounts and want to enjoy these times again

Not very tech savy despite eve and isboxer, I am looking at somethint 3000$ at most.

My primary system is years old.

FX6300 at 3.8ghz currently
Asrock 990FX extreme 9 board
16 GB ddr3 1600 (used to run 8 GB at 1866). I actually usually sit under 8 GB used when I am running.
GTX 660 2 GB card
Western digital blue 1tb and black 750gb drives in an antec illusion case.

With 3 grand you can have a sweet i7 setup with 32 GB ddr4 and a sick graphics card. A SSD really helps with running eve especially with that many clients loading stuff.

AMD is moving on to a unified AM4 socket for their APU and CPUs which will have DDR4 capability so there's no real point to look at AMD right now. The next generation Zen chips are looking very VERY good. In a year or so AMD will be back in the fight with intel on the mid range and high end side of things.

I can post suggested builds later if you want.



I don't quite have the system capability to use OBS to record all my screens with the current setup. My hard drives are too slow and the CPU a little too weak.

I did record a NCO of my nestors at work with the current setup. 45au 7 minute 26 second NCO while under influence.



I can run with 3 reps easily with the current setup thanks to the improved control positions.

Oh and BTW I've discovered that from a pure damage standpoint 2 gecko and 3 hobgoblins are roughly the same as 2 gecko 2 hammerhead 1 hobgoblin. The issue with the hammerheads though is that they die... A LOT.. I had a large stack of hammerheads so I could keep chucking them out for measurement purposes. Factor in the deaths and the hobs just pull ahead.

Oh and 5 t2 ogres are about 10-15% behind what the gecko setup does for total damage. So if you're running cheap then Ogres are hard to beat.

Also Drone navigation on the nestors didn't help applied dps as effectively as an omnidirectional with tracking script. It appears the issue is that the drone nav module only effects MWD speed so the drones will get locked into a cycle of flying past hte target then falling behind which causes hell with the tracking. It's not as bad with the slower MWD speed though. So I'm not a big fan of drone navigation computers right now for VGs.
