The following statements are not directed towards anyone in particular. Just my own .02 and worth exactly that depending on your own perspective, lol.
Almost since the very beginning of home pc hardware in the 80's, ALL hardware has pretty much shared the same fate . . .
It is all soon to be old technology and non-upgradeable. What else is new?
My new machine will be completed by the middle of next week and I don't regret for a single second not waiting until the next "latest and greatest" hardware comes out. There always has been and always will be something new just around the corner.
I'm certain that my rig will tide me over just fine until it is necessary to put aside another 2.5 grand (give or take) to build my next "dream machine" in another year or two.
Drop well over $10k (usd) on a new triple sli setup with the latest and greatest processor, Mobo, RAM, GPU's, etc., 6 months from now to some boutique computer company halfway across the continental U.S.? Not me, a fool and his money are soon parted.
You can ride the leading edge of pc technology for an extremely high price (especially if you don't build your own rigs), or you can spend your money wisely, put together a machine that can handle any entertainment software out there with ease, and all for well less than half the cash.
IF, you can exercise a little patience, and don't feel a need to have "bragging rights".
As you were . . .
oops, sorry, lol . . . yup, thanks for the heads up!
Nope, I'm not going to put any current system specs in my sig (hell I don't even have a sig, rofl!). Let's just say I'm absolutely certain that I'll be able to run Crysis (the latest and greatest "hardware hog") and it will have silky smooth framerates while looking gorgeous. Is my rig gonna be as good as your rig?
I don't care!!! I promise you it is/will be MORE THAN good enough.
"Peabody" speaks true and I say thank'ya.
