Please post and ask again tomorrow if I do not have this up. It is getting late here in MN and I will have to do this tomorrow.
That is all copy-pasted and saved to my checklist for my next rig (probably closer to diablo 3 or PSO2 launch). I don't need Crysis-crunching power. I just want dependable and consistency.
Thx again.
I have a section that talks about building and has a guide. what I state in my opening comments is that I will not go through each post and help each one individually with building their machine. I'm more than happy for people to offer help and guide people within the thread. But between school, work and my personal life I don't have time for hand holding.Quote:

The opening post however has info on how to build a computer, a few tips, talks about what to avoid as far as brands, has a few warnings, talks about laptops, upgrades, etc. I'm not saying it's perfect and it likely needs an update soon, but it's more informative than I think people give it credit for.
The point is I'm not claiming that thread as my personal advice column. I help when I can, but anyone can ask questions and give answers...most of my posts I just try to keep people from spreading rumors and posting irrelevant/false information (IE, "Sandy bridge is a defective product line" or "you need a soldering iron to build a computer")
Understood. However lets not ruin this thread with anything off topic. I am not trying to steal your thread away from you.... I am not even sure why it matters. This is a thread about me helping people with their questions. That is all.Quote:

You to should just marry each other and make great towers and give them to me for free. Just saying.
On a relevant note, I will repost tomorrow if you do fall asleep =D THANKS FOR TRYING!

^That looks....MORE than ready
Yeah it's more then ready for PSO2,I was wondering if it was good for gaming all together,because it's upgradable.(I just dont want to get screwed over.)http://www.avadirect.com/mini-pc-con...asp?PRID=18182 2100$ is my budget.
you're paying too much
that cpu is way overkill and those custom build jobs always overcharge. you're getting screwed. dont get more than a quad-core for gaming
