Build a gaming PC or buy one?

[Chewie]

I'm sure a quick google search would bring up a number of solutions

 

[MaD]

Just did a search, and I think it should work fine, so you're good to go

Even though I'm not a complete expert I'd be inclined to say yes. Looks quite the machine.

This is what FSX will look like on my new PC, (similar stats)

watch it in HD

 

[Themer]

Wow.

It makes me tingle.

 

[pcfan123]

Just set up my new PC, will install and play FSX tonight and post screenies,

here's a snap of the box

Wow Mark, amazing graphics there. Mine lags when I put it on ultra-high.

WHat i think u should (i mean its ur choice,iam giving an advice only) consider about ur graphic card....ATI RADEON 5770 ok very gud card...an excellent one BUT....after 1 year,it wont worth u....it is only gud for FSX,BC2, etc...i think at least 6950 would be a gud choice...if u have some money to spend(a lot of money ) then go for GTX 480 etc blah blah blah....its up to u mate...i can only give advise

P.S: u would laugh now to hear that i myself has a 915GM.... though iam also buying a new pc....but u know....i am typing on a pc with 915gm (crappy)
now laugh at me

 

[Themer]

915GM? Ha ha ha.

Finally got my new computer set up and running. Was going to build myself but I just didn't have the confidence in myself to go the whole hog. I don't mind upgrading ram and graphics cards but I wasn't going to risk it doing the whole thing.

I also bought a tv tuner (?30, ace picture), new monitor (?146) and a wireless mouse. tweaking mouse screwed up my wireless internet though and I've now got two additional wireless adapters so I've burnt it for good measure.

nice dude, any games you playing currently? would be fun to play online together, don't think we've ever talked proper

I literally just have Football Manager at the moment. Most of the games I've got are Paradox strategy games and the like. Mainly cause my computer has always been too shite to play anything else, thats subject to change now.

if you are into FPS then BFBC2 is great, its like 20 bucks on steam

 

[Chewie]

BFBC2 is a pretty good game, can't wait for BF3 to come out though Planning on getting a new computer next year sometime so I'll be able to show off the graphical capabilities of the game
