We are talking about Cooler Master’s HAF 932 full-tower chassis with copious airflow, which can be had for $85 after applying promo code EMCSRJDR4 and cashing in a $35 mail-in-rebate. This case is maintaining a perfect 5/5 rating from over 3,000 user reviews, and a 4.5/5 rating on Amazon from a few hundred user evaluations. The main selling point here is cooling—it comes with a 230mm red LED fan up front and a 230mm fan on the side, plus there is room for a 230mm fan up top (or three 120mm fans)

Total War: Warhammer 2 is still a month away from release, but has nonetheless already become “the most preordered Total War game to date,” developer Creative Assembly announced today. More usefully, it also revealed details about the sort of hardware you’ll need to actually run it. And even though Warhammer 2 is now very close to release, it is still undergoing optimizations and the specs are thus subject to change. Total War: Warhammer 2 is set to come out on September 28. To absolutely nobody

Among the many items Dell unveiled at IFA 2017 this week are two 34-inch monitors under its Alienware division. Both of them support Nvidia’s G-Sync technology for jitter-free gaming, and both offer relatively high refresh rates. The other Alienware monitor Dell trotted out is the AW3418HW. It is the same size as the AW4318DW, but has a lower 2560×1080 resolution, faster 160Hz refresh rate (also overclocked), and 3800R curvature. Otherwise, Alienware was not exactly forthcoming with the display’

AMD has launched its third and most affordable Threadripper CPU, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X. The Threadripper 1900X doesn’t go nuts with core and thread counts—it has 8 cores and 16 threads, versus the 12C/24T Threadripper 1920X ($800) and 16C/32T Threadripper 1950X ($1,000). The Threadripper 1900X is a more affordable gateway to AMD’s X399 platform. In theory, that should mean better overclocking headroom versus Ryzen 7, though we have not seen anything dramatic so far in our own testing. Non

Can you spot any differences between the two Razer Blade Pro laptops in the image above? By offering a lower end configuration, Razer is able to slash the cost of entry nearly in half to $2,300 (£2,400), down from $4,000. Nevertheless, it opens the Razer Blade Pro up to a wider audience. Unlike the more expensive 4K Blade Pro, the Full HD variant is compatible with the Razer Core external GPU dock. The new Razer Blade SKU will be available in the third quarter.

“Everything you love about Earth is gone…” So begins the live action trailer which Bungie just released to promote the September 6 release of Destiny 2 on console. It absolutely nails the power fantasy of being a Guardian and kicking a variety of alien ass alongside your pals. The trailer was created by Jordan Vogt-Roberts , best known for directing Kong: Skull Island, and who is currently also working on a movie based on the Metal Gear games. So far I’ve been impressed, in fact close to blown a

Alongside his work with Suda 51 at Grasshopper Manufacture, Yamaoka has now partnered with Wargaming to provide music for its World of Tanks MMO. Akira Yamaoka Akira Yamaoka is a sound designer and videogame composer who currently works for Grasshopper Manufacture. Akira Yamaoka: I’m making a track for World of Tanks. I’m working a lot with the World of Tanks audio team in Minsk, which is where we made the track together. In the same way that a programmer is here to code or a designer is here to

As you might’ve noticed yesterday, Bundle Stars’ Indie Legends 6 Bundle is go—which you can check that out in its entirety over here. To celebrate its launch, we’re running a coinciding contest that nets one lucky winner $500 to spend at the digital distributor. A further ten runners-up serve to win themselves $50, too. To enter, simply fill in the widget below. This contest will close on September 4 at 8am BST/midnight PST, with winners picked at random on September 7.

Dauntless is a free-to-play, co-op action RPG heavily inspired by Monster Hunter. With Monster Hunter: Generations sitting pretty at 14 weapons and Toukiden 2 at 11, I can’t help feeling disappointed. In Monster Hunter, you’re able to assemble combos on the fly, swapping attack speeds and angles of approach as monsters move and stagger. In Dauntless, attacks and combos are rigidly spelled out and quickly grow repetitive. Crafting a new behemoth’s armor set and weapon takes hours, and only partly

It’s not quite GTA Online’s version of PUBG, if that’s what you were hoping for, but it’s a fun knockabout vehicle combat mode, despite a few minor issues. Rockstar has called Motor Wars a marriage of its existing Drop Zone and Penned In modes, and that’s pretty accurate. Giving players this choice was an error, I think—Motor Wars should be a one-round mode, for a few reasons. If Motor Wars was a mandatory one-round mode, this wouldn’t be a problem. Motor Wars gives you just a taste of what that

In case you missed that, know that it’s a beautiful isometric puzzle-driven musical adventure game that’s set inside the animated confines of the human mind. It may also be the prettiest game I’ve seen this year, and it’s now got a launch date: September 22. Like the developer’s previous games Back to Bed and Chronology, Figment flaunts a surrealist, cartoon-like aesthetic despite its somewhat sensitive subject matter. “It’s easier to bend things in a weird way without it getting too weird. You

World of Warcraft: Legion’s final major update, number 7.3, is now live having teased the battle for Argus at last week’s Gamescom. While attending the conference in Cologne, I sat down with game director Ion Hazzikostas and asked why WoW’s 7.2 update introduced flying mounts before the latest instalment dropped them. I think 7.2, once you’re a little ways in, people are generally satisfied with it, but the first few weeks were a bit bumpy. “There are at least a couple of things in some of the s

When I asked Cardboard Computer’s Jake Elliott how Kentucky Route Zero’s development was going earlier this year he told me: “Yeah, we’re definitely still working on the game. The developer has now confirmed its fifth and final act is due early next year. A so-called “TV Edition” of KRZ will include all five acts alongside their interlude entries—all of which will be fed back into the PC variation. I’m not sure if the following constitutes a teaser in that very little is teased, however here’s t

Last week, Life is Strange: Before the Storm launched a typically moody and at times angry launch trailer. It’s out today and, in what seems like a bid to soften the blow, has dropped a heart-wrenching short designed to underscore the value of friendship. “‘An Open Letter’ has been created to reflect the strong themes of friendship, love and support in the game,” so reads a statement from publisher Square Enix. See how you can last without welling up:Again, Life is Strange: Before the Storm is o

Game of Thrones is everywhere. But that wasn’t the case back in 2005, when George R. R. Martin’s novels were still (relatively) obscure and the TV series hadn’t even been considered. Apparently the studio considered Game of Thrones better fitted to an RTS game, rather than the open world RPGs they were aiming to specialise in at the time. It just feels more like an RTS game. It’s good timing too, since everyone’s going crazy about the (very unlikely) possibility of a Bethesda Game of Thrones RPG

For the past seven years, the Quake game de jure was Quake Live, the still-active browser emulation of the legendary Quake III: Arena. The free-to-play Quake Champions is on the horizon, and the QuakeCon tournament, which previously focused on minor bounties in stale Quake Live brackets, now features a million-dollar Champions prizepool. Already, Bethesda has announced two Dreamhack Quake Champions tournaments before the end of the year, and both are paying out decent prize money. These Quake pl

The new Humble Jumbo Bundle—the ninth, no less—is one of the better I’ve seen in recent months. For beating the average price, which is currently around five bucks, you’ll also get the multiplayer WW1 FPS Verdun, the outstanding adventure-puzzler Samorost 3, and the rat extermination sim Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, with the Drachenfels DLC and Razorfang thrown in. In just shy of a week, more will be piled on at the “beat the average” tier. But I do know that grabbing the bundle will also

Sunless Sea and its expansion Zubmariner make for one of the best Lovecraft-inspired PC games ever, and still contains some of my favorite writing in recent memory. In Sunless Skies, Failbetter Games is taking it’s creaky neo-Victorian ships to space, and this time, they’re letting players give them a test drive through Early Access on Steam. Released today, it’ll cost you $25 ($22.50 until September 6) to get access to the Reach, a fairly small section of the map meant to represent what the fin

Welcome back to The PC Gamer Show, our weekly livestreamed podcast. You can catch the show live on Wednesdays at 1 pm PDT on our Twitch channel, or after the fact at any of the links below. This week we talk about our time in the Destiny 2 PC beta, kicking ass in Absolver, the PC Gamer Top 100, and PUBG’s recent AFK problems before closing with our usual Twitch chat Q&A. The music from this week’s show is from the Oikospiel soundtrack. Parts one through four are available on developer and compos

Wireless gaming peripherals are often met with grains of skepticism. The Logitech G603 gaming mouse and G613 mechanical gaming keyboard both have the aim of providing the same gaming experience as wired peripherals. Launching in parallel is the G613 wireless mechanical gaming keyboard. Featuring a set of macros, dedicated media controls, a wrist rest, and a tablet stand, we dare to say it’s the most feature rich wireless mechanical gaming keyboard yet. The G603 gaming mouse will set you back $70
