My computer is old. I've upgraded it as much as I can and so any next step I take would be to a new computer. Regardless of gaming. I actually use it more for writing and 3D modeling and such rather than gaming. Just mulling over in my head when (and if) that new computer comes if I should dive into SH5 or reinstall SH3. That's all. I wouldn't buy a new computer for a game because at the moment there's only two games that I actually play, X-Plane and SH3.

Well if you put it like that then a new rig it is, one of the first things you should do is install SH3, even if you buy SH5. And X-Plane. You'll get good returns on these games with a new multi processor and modern RAM and graphics cards. Just time how long it takes to load a session of SH3, before you buy your new rig, from clicking to start the game to getting past the 'Not so long ago...' screen. Then repeat with a new machine and be amazed
