Been playing Path of Exile lately...

You can probably run that...

If you like Diablo type games I highly recommend it...

I tried playing that. All them skill trees had a nicca too shook.

the first game i played with skill trees was Arkham Asylum and i was very intimidated by it.
don't be shook...it is a very organic growth of your character and your skills.

you will look forward to every upgrade.

games like Batman are a little different, because by the end of the game you have enough 'points' to unlock pretty much everything

games like Path of Exile are more complicated. where you invest your points early on will have a big impact on what skills you can invest in later on. here's the skill-tree from that game:

POE is very entertaining. I would do like another poster said and find a guide on the forums and play that build until you learn more about the game. Its what D3 should have been IMO. If it wasn't for the shytty OOS issue, I would still be playing it.

I just won a eBay auction for a 2013 Sony VAIOaio with a AMD A10 APU.

Since it's a 2013 model, it uses a Richland APU. Is it possible to swap out the motherboard so I can upgrade to Kaveri (or maybe even Carrizo)?



@Liquid @daze23
How much did you pay for that? Why do you want to make things difficult for yourself? Link me the exact model number to see what I can find.

SOME AIO can be upgraded, but a full motherboard swap will be an annoying process as I've done it before on an iMac.

Funny enough, I grabbed a cheap Gateway AIO that has a 1080P monitor, Core i7 3770S, 8GB RAM, Slot Load DVD Writer, and 1TB HDD. When did Gateway start making decent AIO computers and I wasn't aware of it? :wtf:

I might even be able to swap out the GPU in this thing since I think it has an MXM slot. I am getting a new SSD in tomorrow to put it on here and this shyt should scream for years to come.

This is the exact model I bought: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=SVF15414CXB

It didn't come with a battery or charger, so I able to win the auction for about $150-160.
