Write down your specs here and tell us would you upgrade something (video card, CPU, etc.) and why? Here is my PC: CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1 GHz (overclocked to 3.6 GHz) GPU: Sapphire HD5770 FleX Edition 1 GB Motherboard: ASRock AliveXFire-eSATA2 (very very old one) PSU: 300 watt FSP Fortron (tough guy as hell, very satisfied! I don't even know how it supplies my GPU ) RAM: 5 GB HDD: 1x500 GB + 1x160 GB Case: Some shit named Quantum (it was for sale for 2 dollars at eBay back when I was building my PC so I said so what, it's ass free ) I can play heavy duty games like GTA V and Crysis 3 on medium graphics with some decent frame rate. GTA V is my favourite, though. I'm thinking of buying a new laptop, not gaming, mainly for work but in my free time I like to play games so I need it to be with some decent specs. Anyone would suggest me something in the range of $700-800 USD?
I got a pc emachine from 2009ish. Its still kickin and going strong in 2016. I dont ever play video games since maybe nintendo 64 back in 99-00.
Case: Silverstone Raven RV04 Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 CPU: Intel i7-3770K GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 Memory: 32 Gigs G.Skill Ares SSD: ADATA SX900 256 x1, 128 x2 HDD: Western Digital WD20EZRX Cooling: Noctua NH D-14 PSU: Silverstone SST1000-P Fan control: Scythe Kaze Master Pro Monitors: 2 x Dell U2410 Audio Interface: Focusrite 2i4 Headphones: Sony MDR-7506 Microphone: Blue Yeti Pro Keyboard: Logitech Solar Keyboard K750 Mouse: Logitech G600 Webcam: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 Joystick: Logitech Extreme 3D Pro OS: Windows 10 Professional This rig is about 3 or 4 years old now, I think. I spent about 18 months buying parts and watching them build up on my bedroom floor. Each part inspired the next, until I had them all. So, doing it that way, it was a new and decent upgrade (or build) for me, but already outdated by the time I built it. I'm getting on now at 48 years old, so I'm not in a hurry to keep building new computers anymore. If it works well, I stick with it. I used to game a lot (Delta Force Land Warrior, BF2, BFBC2, Titanfall, BF4), but I can't afford to get too lazy, so I've taken a break for a while. You rig is pretty good. This thread was posted in February. I wonder if you upgraded or bought that laptop. Cheers
