Warranty, Warranty, Warranty.

Good deals price wise are squat if your warranty sucks in first year.

My CPU - 3yrs P&L

Mobo - 3yrs P&L

Ram - Lifetime - transferable

Vid Card - Lifetime - transferable

PSU - Lifetime - transferable.

Makes it easier on the wallet to recoup some money on your next build. Think Ahead.

What I meant is that nobody buys a computer just to play a game.

Even if you don't play any other game, you're using your computer to do a ton of other stuff.

And a faster computer is great all around, not only for gaming. You can take care of all your duty faster, allowing you to have more time to other things.

I DO TOO!!!

No, wait! You're right, I need it for lots of different reasons. Like...um...um...TESTING! Yeah, that's the ticket! Testing! And, um...

Well, actually, everything I do that involves a computer can be done on the one I have now, and done quite well. And all of my work so far stores conveniently on an 8-Gig flash drive. So I guess the only reason I actually need to spend hundreds of dollars for a new super-duper rig is just so I can play SH5. And SH4 better, I suppose.

Oh well, am I shallow or what?

My current rig is getting very long in the tooth, I'm still riding the AGP bus for goodness sakes! I'm planning to hold off buying a new system for now as USB 3.0 (10x faster than 2 apparently) and a whole batch of new NVidia DX11 cards are just around the corner. Hopefully by SH5 launch time both of these will be available and tumbling in price.
