Just bought a new computer...
 

I've finally decided to upgrade to a newer baby...:smug:

My old custom model was over 6 years old now. I can barely enjoy the latest games at rez 1680x1050 with out killing FPS:arrgh!:

Even though I've tweaked it and maximized its potential I think with the newer games comming out I need a monster....:hulk:


Old Rig was.

....:)

Well I'm not rich but it rocks for my purposes... I'm going to give my old rig to my 5 year old daughter she can play with it.... Like SH3 hehehe and SPORE she likes making the monsters...:up:

What to do with the new power....:hmm:

Wow, nice rig, my current specs are almost identical and chomping at the bit to upgrade.......

Do you have FSX? I would love to see that program run on a rig like that!

No I don't have the flight similator.

I going to have X3 Terran Conflict coming I've preorder it. Newer graphics and more AI work load on the CPU I need POWER...

Plus Stalker CS needs more juice for all the nice DirectX 10 stuff.

I'm also considering getting Dead Space from EA but will crack it after I buy it so I don't have to deal with the DRMs.

And yes Neal I will be soon purchasing SH4 and hopefully GWX team will be ready with there uber mod...:hmm: :rock:

Me gots a ok one, Been thinking about X mas. A new performance processor would be nice to go along with my 8800 GTX 6xx mb version OC. Anyone know of a good afordable processor?:smug:

Tigerdirect has good prices.:up:

GWX4 won't disappoint :up:

I hope you meant this type of cracking ;):yep::D

Rong topic Neal.;)

:rotfl:

You may want to check if the mobo supports SLI. That way if you ever need to add more video power, all you'll need is another vidcard. I've been thinking about adding a 3rd GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and get 3-way SLI going on mine.

Other than that, I think you'll be quite pleased with what you are getting.

What OS are you getting on this rig?

Sounds like you're all set for Dawn of War 3!
