Possibility of a new pc

[JensenPark]

I would most definitely have one of the Dogz build it for you.

Send me the money and I'll be glad to build it for you.

(and if the rest of you keep quiet and don't blow the deal, I'll split the proceeds)

Delta's right about Tom's H/W, always a useful read. The only thing I'd add to the points already made Col, is that the boards you're looking at are not SLI/Crossfire compatible as they only have one x16 slot. A lot of the newer games get a significant boost from using a couple (or even three) gfx cards. Obviously, for the time being you could use a single card, but to build in some additional future-proofing, I'd look for a board which can support multiple graphics cards (which when they're cheaper later may be an easier upgrade pill to swallow).

As some of you may know already, I got my new rig up and running yesterday..

My old machine, in Blackdeath at 2:30 running at 1024x768 with most graphics on middle or low setting returned these;

Min: 13, Max: 64, Avg:39

On the new rig, exactly the same settings;

Min:58, Max: 61, Avg: 60

I took vertical sync off and the max shot up to 1000!, thats not a misprint...yes, one thousand....!!!! holy cow!
