If anyone knows what that is, they get a cookie.

Look below.

your all going to point and laugh. I spent 1.5 grand on this piece of shiz 2 years ago and it came with a 256 mb ati graphics card. 2 years ago i had just moved to canada from new zealand, and in new zealand you dont get a good computer. You get good ram though (hahahahaha...sheep humor.) so i knew nothing about computers.

anyway, the specs:

amd 2.7 triple core processor (dont know the model number).
3 gigs ddr3 ram.
1gb nvidia 9400 evga (guy at tiger direct said it would be "good for gaming" pfft...).
some random soundcard.

Anything you guys think i need to upgrade? also my processor is unclocked, what do you guys think i could overclock it to without needing to buy a better cooling system as apposed to my current lolfan.

Edit: i expect to run it on the lowest graphics.

Hunk O' Crap :brokencomputer:

Yay PS3 :celebration:

The 4th "LOL XOBX 360" post because it apparently never gets old for you guys.


I don't recommend you seriously consider overclocking. You would have to learn a lot more first. You definitely need to upgrade your video card but that's assuming your power supply is already decent. As it is now it would probably still run Brink on low as you expected. With computers you don't ask "should I" but more like "what can I do with ___ money?"

As far as peripherals go though, I'm quite happy with where I stand

(I'm a fan of Logitech, but not of the prices, so I shop on Ebay =D)

im an avid pc gamer but more and more it seems like a never ending cycle, I can shell out 300 bucks on an xbox or ps3 and be at the same performance level as everyone else for 3 years or so, with my computer I endlessly upgrade to keep my performance up with a never ending cycle of games, Ive spent around 2000 bucks on my comp I coulda bought so many more games for my xbox.

Heh, same here.

My PC has enough troubles playing Morrowind

I'm still buying parts for the PC I'm gonna build, but anyway...
Case: Silverstone TJ07 black
2x460 GTX 1GB in SLI with EK water blocks, Core i7 930 probably, waiting for a good deal, everything water cooled, still deciding on mobo and cpu water block; some triple channel RAM
Mouse: razer mamba; Steelseries g7 keyboard
Hope to get everything by Christmas :celebrate:
