Author Topic: Going to get a new computer soon. Is this good?  (Read 1227 times)

Currently, my blockland cannot run shaders without crashing, and is really turning to crap after crashing almost every 30 minutes. I've been thinking a bit about getting a new computer, and getting a desktop this time instead of a laptop, but then keeping my laptop for things like bringing it to school or other sorts of transportation. So I found a pretty nice one on newegg, so I wanted the opinion of the community if this is a good computer, and if it could run shaders and sorts.

I'm also planning on getting this monitor

So tell me if this is a good computer that can run without turning to crap for a solid 4-6 years.

You're rich. :o

Anyway it looks pretty good to me but I'm not a super expert on computers so don't just take my word for it.


I'm also looking at this one

This one has twice the RAM, and an i7 instead of i5 processor, for a $10 difference.

I'd say the one you linked in OP because you can get a free 360 with it if you want.

Has some shoddy reviews however.

IMO, I think you should get the one in the third post.

How long do any of you think the third post one will last? 8 years?

2 years. technology is loving fast

also you might want to buy a mouse and keyboard because the ones that usually come with ibuypower/cyberpower's comps are like $3 and stuffty.

Yeah it will probably last longer than 2 years. The laptop I am on currently has lasted 3 years, and it has a duel core prosessor and 4GB of RAM.

Also, I already have a keyboard and mouse, for when I hook my laptop to a monitor.

I got my Dell with an i7 and AMD Radeon HD 6670, 8GB Ram for $2000.
that ... seems.. idk. expensive? i might think i just got ripped off
