Nobody buys a new pc just to play 1 game.

My old laptop could barely play sh3. I bought a new one just to play it.
Have not bought a console game or any other game except sh4 since.
That was a year ago. I know it was dumb, but man was it worth it.

belive it or not, on my desktop i only play 3, flight sim x, empire total war, and sh4 v1.5 with fotrs mod. albeit with the additional add on. I dont even use the net, thats what my laptop is for, and usb stick for downloads. try to keep my desktop for my games only. linked it up twice i belive to steam, to activate and upgrade empire total war, and various windows updates. It would not suprise me in the least if someone does just play sh5, it would be the love of the sim, how much they love the sub enviroment, and usally would have played previous silent hunter series. perhaps always wished to join navy and were rejected. numerous reasons, may sound crazy to one is anothers desire.

I purchased my current rig specifically for SH4

My wife did get me COD though. I do play that when I feel some pixel guy needs to be fragged.

Other than that I play SH4 as planned.

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.
