Change anything you want, make a new list, anything! Open for any changes decides the case!

So, are these generally compatable? Last a couple of years? Anything helps, Thanks!

ok, NO pc's are going to be future proof.

That being said.

Look at my build (My signature)

Take that hd 6870 make it a 6750

And that sub standard mid range gaming pc you see now.

Will be your i5 chip, and hd 6950 computer you make today for 1k, tomarrow (1-3 years down the road) will be that computer.

THAT BEING SAID.

I would rather spend 600-800 dollars every two years. as i do.

Than get the top of the line pc, to max out all the games OVERKILL i mean 120fps.
For 1k 1-2 years.

THAT BEING SAID.

That simplistic cheaper version of the day, (mine with the 6870 shown in the signature) cost me 700 dollars, But i can max every game out (bf3 ultra high) except for the BF3 standard metro 2033 games. At 40-90 fps. I Save money and after 50fps its all grey.

hehe...I am mostly doing it just to build, but I dont want to cheap out because I would like to keep it for a while. I know it sounds weird haha, maybe it only makes sense to me.

 

[chaotixblade]

Thanks for reading my rant, haha

 

[justdoit]

Ok,ok, I will be playing skyrim lightly, but I mean nothing major. Thanks for the Help!
