New Computer

[mctwist]

I'd like to know what the otherwise is for.  What's wrong with it?

Tell me why you buy a computer that is overpowered that you can play at maximum settings on any game you play, and then after 5 years you will have trouble keeping the same path and have to lower the settings to prevent low FPS?

mctwist, the point was to buy a machine that is upgrade-able and lasts for at least 4-5 years before having a need to upgrade it again. It's decently built, but the graphics card (same as mine) is still a glorified Geforce 9800 GT so it's not the top-of-the-line (The card costs around 120 dollars). I do however, like the power efficiency, mobo, and the CPU.

The whole point is that he won't have to upgrade constantly.

Stop being a jealous little prick.

Come on, you've got to admit most of us are jealous. heh

Yeah, the only thing I want now is a quad core CPU, that way I wouldn't need a decent upgrade for another 3-4 years before having to replace the GPU for a newer card with dual cores.

The whole point is that it's overkill now so that he won't have to upgrade later.

I rather save my money for more important stuff. I admit that my computer isn't the best one, but I do know that I bought it 4 years ago for about $800, and the only upgrade I made was on the HDD for $130. I needed the space.
I can still play on it with a high settings on my games, and I probably wont upgrade it more in the next few years. Maybe RAM if I install Win7.

But that's me...

Because you're playing four year old games.

Funny how that works.

Dude major waste of money. You didnt need any of that crap, I spent 200 dollars on my laptop and I can run Pong on high settings with just a little bit of lag when the ball hits the paddle :/

Heh. Yeah, is it the new Windows 1.0 with an Intel Pentium 1?

You know you have a good computer when it's liquid cooled. I wonder if it over-clocks...

[Righteous One]

stuffty computer can be water-cooled too bro.

[Makingblah]

Would you sell the old Graphics card?
