New Computer

[doc_bean]

I'm not a fan of pre-built machines, they always have a weakness.

Some general comments:

-Like Tosa pointed out: high range is rarely worth the extra cost, these days computers don't evolve as fast as they used to, pretty much all advancement is made in the graphics cards. Don't buy a top of the line graphics card, it costs about twice as much as the next best thing and really isn't that much better usually. OTOH, gfx cards are what makes the difference these days.

-IMHO RAM is the most overrated aspect these days, lots of RAM is a good thing, but it's not always worth the extra cost. Generally if a game runs fine with a certain amount of RAM, it won't run better with more.

-Don't buy a new system because you think you need it, check out the game first to see if you need it, and of course, if it's really worth the upgrade.
