yep... I almost bought it today but stopped myself. it does look really fun tho, im just afraid it will get old quickly or there wont be enough skill involved

brehs, so i got a gtx580 3gb as my discrete, is there any reason to get a sep. card for physX?

You want a game that taxes your system and looks crazy try Metro 2033, it's a monster.

I think I will try that! Thanks

I don't think you would have saved "a couple hundred dollars" by getting a cheaper cpu and less ram. maybe you could have saved around $100

Did you see the part about me wanting to sell the HD 6870??? So cheaper graphics card too.....

Getting some stacks together for my graduation gift and I'm going to splurge on a computer upgrade.

i5 3570k
AsRock Extreme4 Mobo
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Gigabyte GTX670 OC'D
Coolermaster HAF X Case
G.Skill 8GB 2133mhz memory
Corsair AX750W PSU

Last real build I had was 4 years ago and that has lasted for quite a while. Will overclock it to about 4.5-4.6ghz...I can't wait brehs

That's a nice build there. I just built my first pc it has similar specs.

i5 3570K
Asus P8z77-v
Crucial M4 128GB SSD
Cooler Master Haf 912
EVGA GTX670
Ultra LSP650 650-Watt PSU (having second thoughts here)
Corsair 16gb DDR3 (unnecessary overkill I know)

oh ok. but I definitely wouldn't downgrade that. it's true that most games won't need an i5 2500k and 8gb of ram, but there's quite a few games out there that will eat that graphics card up. have you tried Crysis 2 yet?

Yea man I probably exaggerated a bit about the graphics card, but its like damn I paid all this money and I'm seeing some newer games run at 385 FPS!!!! I'm kool with 60FPS lol. Crysis 2 pushes the card quite a bit! I run on Ultra at about 55 FPS. Honestly, I built the computer to stop paying for garbage games on the 360/PS3 but now that I realize that most games multiplayer cant be played with a pirated copy, I'm a lil pissed at myself for spending all that money

this is elementary basic computer gaming knowledge. You can still off single player games though

random shyt like fallout, max payne etc.

good multiplayer games are worth buying anyway

I mean I knew this, but I figured that there was a chance that I would find a way to play multiplayer at least for some newer games. I think Ima buy Max Payne and BF3 so I can play the multiplayer. MW3 doesnt look that great on PC to me so I think I'll skip that. But you are right, I have a shyt load of games that I am enjoying the single player

Max Payne 3's multiplayer is utter trash, there isn't really any reason to buy it unless you just want to. BF3 is dope as fukk online on PC.. get that ASAP.

 

[daze23]

speaking of pirating stuff for PC, I saw that Skyrim DLC is out there. I don't know if I want to get caught up in that game again right now...

Good look....maybe I wont get Max Payne then. I got BF3 for 360, just want to experience it on the PC so Ima grab that for sure

Max Payne's singleplayer is fukking amazing though. Prepare to die a lot on PC as you get adjusted it doesn't even matter though, its so much fun, if you have surround sound speakers or some good headphones you will feel like you're in a war.
