Reasons to buy a new PC

Archangel · 11-01-09, 04:57 PM

Happily for me I guess the release of SH-V will somewhat correlate with the time that I have planned to purchase my new system, as my previous one is very old (gaming wise: a 2 ghz AMD Sempron, 1gb, 6600GT) my new system will be completely new.

It will be my graduation present to myself for hopefully leaving university.

reason 1: my old one is a worthless duel core

reason 2: to keep with the times

reason 3: old rigs are good for 18th century games

reason 4: it will impress grandpa

My current pc doesn't satisfy my needs as quickly and smoothly as I'd like it to. It is also past the point of upgrading.

I have become a much more demanding user since I built this thing. I have 2 displays and run programs like crazy. Just cause. It is an amd 939 based system from late 2004. I feel like my memory is ANCIENT when I look at how fast ddr3 can be. Gotta say though, my dual core kept me going pretty damn well since 2006. Really, for regular use (not gaming) I still consider this thing to be quite nice.

So yeah, basically, I want new parts to run these newfangled games at high resolutions, highest settings, and buttery smooth frame rates. Outside of gaming, I want my pc to be able to handle all the crap I'm gonna throw at it all at once without hiccuping.

ps. I am super interested in getting myself an SSD. They seem to be badass fast. Awfully expensive and little capacity though. I still want one for my OS and regular programs to reside on.

Reasons? Well the main reason for me would be this very computer here itself 'cuz it's rubbish, SH5 or not

Will wait at least until January though. Plenty of good discount deals available after the holidays I guess...
