No, you don't say, really, you're kidding, go on, get out of here, no way, can't be.

:fly:

I'm trying to hack my local websense server as we speak ;) better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?
 
people like you make me want to qtip the entire base just for the pleasure of kicking some tardcart O5 off the network for having jiggle on his computer

MY LITTLE IASO: RETINA IS MAGIC
 
I think I last refreshed my computer probably 3-4 years ago. It will play every game I've thrown at it. I can't imagine that it would be any different than a $500 PC you can build right now. I haven't read most of this thread. It's probably been covered, but whatever.
 
I don't think a $500 pc would play new stuff on their highest settings

1k on a workstation isn't that much if it's going to be a primary machine for gaming and audio/video/image editing plus have enough longevity to remain in that position for 3-4 years

I guess that's the difference. I just don't give a shit about the highest settings. Certainly not enough to spend twice the amount of money on it. That seems wasteful to me. Hell, most of the time its the same damn graphics that they used for the xbox/ps before porting it to the PC...
 
When I last upgraded mine for Skyrim, I spent far less than $500, granted my monitor is only capable of 16xx/1xxx (whatever that resolution is), so I was going for absolute smooth gameplay at maximum settings for that resolution.

I waited for deals on each component I needed, CPU was a loss-leader at Microcenter and came with a Motherboard discount also. Video card was a refurb from Newegg (460 GTX) that was dirt cheap.

I'm happy with it.

If the case wasn't falling apart, it would be a $900 machine. I could save another $120 and drop down to 16GB of Memory. So if I really want to save money right now, I guess I could use the beat up case thus making this a $780 machine. Would that be more justifiable in your eyes?
 
I have a barely used (literally less than 100 hours) i7 PC I have no use for. My dad built it and it had some stability issues related to memory compatibility. He bought a laptop so he didn't care when I figured out the issue. I swapped a an extra stick of generic ram into it and all the issues went away.

Complete minus the HDD. If you're interested I'll post the specs. $100+ shipping takes it.
