i normally call a 900dollar comp pretty crappy.
i recommend anyone to pay at lowest 1500 for a desktop, and even more for a laptop (of course)
its unfortunate, but with stupid moore, you have to think at least 2 years ahead. that 900 dollar computer now will run like crap in 2 years.
its unfortunate for people that want to be pc gamers, they either have to have the money, or stay a step behind and play games in low detail to get by.
i like to keep my computer 2 steps ahead if i can to enjoy new games at their peak time, rather then 2 years later when an average computer can.
but thats a terrible argument to use on the average computer user or gamer
