Holiday Wishlist... Happy Holidays!

Post » Tue May 05, 2009 11:18 am

Feel free for all of you to share your holiday wishlist's here.

My holiday wishlist:

Intel Core Two Quad Q9505: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115060&Tpk=Intel%20Core%20Two%20Quad%20Q9505

Nvidia GeForce GTX 295: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125283&Tpk=Nvidia%20GeForce%20GTX%20295

Call of Duty: Black Ops (PC): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832133083

Assasins Creed: Brotherhood (Playstation 3): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832133083

All comes to a total of $630 for the holiday season! Happy consumerism, everybody! ^-^

Anyway I see no reason to switch to the LGA1366 motherboards yet, so im sticking with my old Asus P5n-E SLI and upgrading from a E6750 to a Q9505. I am also upgrading from a GTX 285 to a GTX 295, I am not going for DX11 GPU's yet because I am still running Windows Vista and it would likely bottleneck my system anyway. The upgrade to a dual-GPU 295 over the single GPU 285 will barely cost me anything anyway, since I am selling it off (starts at $170 on eBay if you want it, feel free to PM me).

I cannot wait to get Brotherhood and Black Ops, these should be able to sate me until Crysis 2. I am planning on this being my last upgrade for the next couple years, since no games are really pushing the hardware boundary anymore I feel comfortable where I am at now, and I am not exactly made of money either... ;)

Anyway, feel free to comment on my upgrades, or post your own wishlist for the holidays for all else to see! :)

Happy Holidays to all of you as well! And a Happy new year!

My girlfriend let me pick out what computer specs I wanted up to $1,500 and let me go crazy on Newegg and thats my Christmas present. I wish we could link our wishlists. But essentially this is it:

Intel Core i7 950
EVGA GTX 580
8GB DDR3
MSI X58 Pro MOBO
1000w PSU
Blue Ray Drive/Combo
And an Antec 1200

My Crysis 2 rig <3
I actually only went to $1,400 with all that so I'm going to probably get a new gaming mouse or something. My Microsoft X8 is a little aged after 2 years of heavy use.

Again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Hmm, well at the moment I don't need anything. I've got all of what I need. :)

Well, there's some games I may get, but not sure if I should get them, but yeah, all my presents were bought early. :D
