It doesn't sound very priceless when you can break down the cost by component, though.

actually for how much getting a new computer would cost, upgrading it is alot cheaper if its not an old model

even i could afford to buy those upgrades, what other games do u play that run really good with that equipment?

wanna kno cause i play medieval 2 and it is a little laggy on mine even though its only 1.5 years old. i dont play vanilla tho i play The Long Road mod which is really cool.

Oh, this is Australian dollars too, so that makes it look a little more expensive.

I haven't had a chance (or desire) to play anything else on it just yet. I've lent M2TW to a friend, so will get that back next week and see how it runs. I think it should go very well also.

And yes, it's a lot cheaper than buying a whole new computer. When you consider the money saved not buying a box, power supply, hard disks, disk drives, monitor, keyboard and mouse, it cost about a third of the price of the closest "complete" package I could find.

And since I work from home it's all tax-deductable!
