Re: new computer, what do you think?

It's pretty powerful, I suppose.

What did you shell out for it? That's the real question.

You're fine.

Anyways, $800 is a very attractive price for a PC like that. Oh, and could you tell us your motherboard, too?

Re: new computer, what do you think?

Hardrive is fine, however if you want to boost loading speeds a TON, get a SSHD. You could get one that's only like 60G (Very expensive), and put things like your OS and the games you play most on it so they load super fast.

Re: new computer, what do you think?

Dang, that's REALLY cheap for those kind of specs. Care to give some of us a similar discount?

Re: new computer, what do you think?

lol SATA hard drives

Re: new computer, what do you think?

You could get a 10,000 RPM hard drive (or 2) and throw em in a raid 0, put your OS and games and stuff on those. That'll double the speed (20,000 rpm and 6 gb/s transfer speed if you get the 3 gb/s hard drives.)

Then I'd get a massive hard drive for data, but that's because I'm a pack rat and 640 gigs isnt enough in my mind.

lol SATA hard drives

What's wrong with SATA? You think IDE is faster or something?
