Note that i bought this PC in Montreal and shipped it with me when i moved back to Lebanon a couple of months ago, i received it last Wednesday and I'm so happy :) :)
PS: i'm still up for discussing parts and optimisation price/quality for gaming if you point me to the right thread!
Can you post a few frames per second in games on this thing?
Just to know if it is worth to buy such an expensive computer.
I always bought expensive stuff (200$ for a VGA that didnt keep up with the games already installed that day) til I learned to buy the cheapest and lowest performance hardware (especially CPU and VGA) as they last longer and you don't over-estimate them.
hahaha i know it's not VGA it's just the slang we got used to when we were young so i apologize
As for the price of the parts, i got this computer for 1200$ (only tower and components) i hada lot of good deals and price match (on the website you send a page of the same item on a different website with a lower price, they give it to you at the lower price) so basically got the lowest price ever for every part (el lebneneh harbou2:P)
The mais issue with parts is compatibility, you have to get perfectly harmonized parts in order to get the best out of your pc, imagine i get 8gb of ram, it's like adding a turbo to a car, but putting it next to you and never using it.
I bought this Pc back in 2008 and i know that in a couple of years ill overclock it and it will still kick it.
Just know 1 thing, all games (98%) now are developed for consoles and then migrated to PC, so Basically, if you have a pc that runs recent games like Borderlands, MW2 and others on the highest settings, you're set for the coming years, no one knows how long, but i can assure you it will last, until someone comes up with a new technology "just for pcs" and want to experiment, like in the days of CRYSIS where running the game on full settings was an achievement. so until a game like CRYSIS is released, your pc is gona last, happily and the way i'm seeing it, there are no intentions of PC only games in the near future :D
You want me to benchmark which games?
