_________________

my question is kioto. The computer you had already looked pretty much up to date and brand new. Was it completely necessary to upgrade the pc again?

Considering at best you'd be gaining a 5% improvement lol probably less than that.

I will gladly answer your question if you tell me how you came up with 5%...

I have to buy a new comp so that I can play Warhammer and Aion at top graphics (( in a few months )), trouble is I don't know much about how computers are built/how they work, so building my own is not an option- but I'm gonna buy from this little company on ebay that builds gaming PCs and has like a 99.6% user reccomendation and comes with a 3 year warranty/ but you have to tell them the parts you want and they will build it for you and charge you accordingly. Itll be more $ than building one myself but lol I'd end up wasting money on destroying parts trying to put the fucker together.

Anyways when I go about doing this hopefully you guys can give me some part reccomendations/info

Just an assumption out just looking at the pc picture you posted. It looked relatively new. Anyway what did you have this set up in mind for?

Well Mikey my current PC is fairly new compared to most computers but it's not up to date with new technology, in fact my video card was released on november of 2006. The issue i have isn't the fact that my computer is a little out of date, but because of the resolution on my new monitor... My current setup will not run recent games at max resolution even if settings are on med. (with AA 4x). Since my girlfriend is playing games as well i decided to build her a computer with the spare parts i'll have when i get the new hardware.
I'm going to buy a 2nd GTX280 in a month when i finish paying for all this stuff with another VelociRaptor so i can use in a raid 0 configuration as well, hopefully with all this stuff i'll be able to completly max out Crysis @ 2560x1600 (i think i will), but i'm also getting all this stuff because computer games and building computers/electronics is one of my hobbies, even though i only spend maybe 15-20 hours per week playing games, i still like to have the good stuff. Does that answer your question Mikey?

if your waiting for a smart ass reply, im not even gonna bother with it lol. I don't have the energy to bother with people. For the record i was just being curious.

I'll let ponuh do it for me lol.

You're assuming something I didn’t mean to portrait; I’m not expecting a smartass reply at all. But i do want to know if i was clear in answering your question. Maybe you still have other questions, maybe not.

Don't you find it ironic that you're criticizing mikey for arbitrarily coming up with an estimate for the the arbitrary improvements you're going to receive from your hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of useless shit?

So far the only useless shit is you.

I think you can criticize someone for paying two grand for a PC upgrade. It's nearly comical in its excessive ridiculousness. All that's missing really is the killer NIC. I paid a 1,000 to build my computer from scratch and I could have had a thousand left over to spend on heroine, for example.

Don't click this link.

no you communist, the man earned an honest wage and if you criticize his clear fiscal incompetence then frankly, your a fucking faggot

Fiscal incompetence... You're trying too hard ponuh.

You spend your money like a fucking retard. Spot on, good job

and not only do you spend it like a golddigging socialite, you gloat about it. yeah, you're fiscally incompetent

If I had the money I would do it too.

People think the amount of money I spend on comics is stupid (like 10 bucks a week), but I really enjoy them and 10 bucks a week is in no way shape of form some kind of financial burden.

You fail to understand that you're the retard who has no idea what spending money really is. Maybe with your income and your doltish way of picturing things in that little shit of a brain you have might make it seem this way, but it really isnt. You have no idea about anyones fiscal competence here and acting like you know anything about anyone is just the likes of you. Anyway's i'll keep you guys posted when i get all the stuff in and put it all together, i'm done arguing in a topic where argument shouldn't have been in.

you make some very good points here i'm sure. whatever they are, i'll be sure to take them to heart.
