Hi all. I finally decided to break down and buy a new computer, since it seems mine just won’t keep up no matter what I do. I’d like to show you all what I put together and then hear what you have to say. What I’m really looking for is “hey if your willing to spend just a few more bucks and get this, you will really notice it” or “ if you spend and few bucks less and get this, is will hardly matter”. Try to keep it close to the main price. Lets say the limit is $50 for any one thing and $150 more to the total price. Keep in mind that I’m an avid gamer and want to be able to play the latest games for a few years before I upgrade again. Ok here what I’m going with and thanks in advance.
