Built a new PC

Recommended Posts

With all the new games coming out I decided it was time to upgrade. Usually I don't go with top of the line stuff, and I didn't exactly go bleeding edge, but this is by far the most powerful box I've built relative to what's out there.

Intel i7 quad core 3.4GHz

ASUS P8P67 PRO

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

I was initially going to get a better video card that was about $100 more but the value of the one I got was too good. The whole order, including a full tower case, RAM, etc, was right at $900.

I started up COD black ops as a test, knowing my old machine could barely even play it, and was fuging blown away. I maxed everything and it ran as smooth as butter. I'm pretty giddy about my new toy. Windows performance rates everything at a 7.8 out of 7.9 except for my disk io which is horrid(I'm going to set up some raid striping soon).

Skyrim - come at me bro.

Not for gaming really, just general performance. I was thinking about a SSD but they're just way too expensive and unreliable.

hmmm. i don't trust a stripe enough to deal with it on a general basis, but I'm lazy like that. definitely agree with you on ssd tho.
