2.6ghz and 5750 =/= real computer.

If you weren't such a troll, I might believe you. But what should I expect from someone that buys 3rd party videogame controllers? And a Radeon HD 5750 is a great graphics card, especially with a gig of dedicated memory. So until you actually have a well thought out post to share with us, I kindly ask you to be quiet.

I see that you are willing to accept not so well thought posts if they are positive about your purchase.

2.6hgz processor is slow for games and you don't need 6 cores for virtually any games now and for a long time.

5750 is not a good gpu. With 1440x900 resolution, you won't get any advantage over the 512mb model. For higher resolutions, 5750 is way too slow. Even with 1440x900, you will not get 75(your likely refresh rate?) fps for any modern games.

Also you paid waaaayyy too much for that package. I think you just bought a prebuild acer or something.

 

You could have had a 3.5ghz quad core, 8gb 1333mhz ram, 2tb HDD, GF 560ti  and a good case/power ( oem W7 home)  for the money you spent on that.

I don't need more than 60. I don't even see a difference between 24, 30, and 60 so whatever.

Way too much? Yeah sure. I'm totally gonna buy another piece of shit Acer after my experience with an Acer Aspire. Please read the edits in the OP.

I don't want a quad-core. I wanted a hexa-core. That's why I got one. And I can overclock it if I feel like it. I'm not going to be playing Crysis on this damn thing so why are you making a big deal out of it? I have that same RAM in my computer. I don't need 2 terabytes of hard drive space. I already have a terabte external drive.  I don't like nVidia cards since they are not optimised to play Source engine games.

EDIT: Comparable Acer Aspire prebuilt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000010&IsNodeId=1&Description=acer aspire&name=Desktop PCs&Order=BESTMATCH

60fps will be a task for 5750 when it comes to modern games.

I have to retract my thoughts, I was not aware that taxes are added to prices in USA. Here they are included in prices. So you did not pay way too much for your computer. Just too much. :P

You want a hexa-core, fine. May I ask for what?

Since you did not mention a cpu-cooler or any specific case fans, I am assuming you are using very basic cooling. You won't be able to overclock your CPU much.

You made a big deal out of your computer, you even made a thread about it. I merely commented on your purchase with honesty.

Yeah...still don't need anything higher than 30 fps because I can't tell the difference. It's still a pretty good deal. I paid 700 for that piece of shit Acer back in 2008. :P Not to mention that my monitor has a 60Hz refresh rate. I don't need anything higher. Like these people with 240Hz monitor refresh, seriously, who the fuck needs that?

Just because I can. That's a good enough reason for me.

That's why I'm not going to overclock it right away :P And besides, putting water based  cooling into a computer is just retarded. Ooo...a bunch of tubes filled with water. If one of them breaks, your mobo is fucked. Just what I need, more of my shit breaking on me.

Yeah, I made a big deal out my purchase. That's called  being a fanboy. And when I get a Radeon 6950, you will see another thread about it with upgraded specs :P I'll have most likely overclocked the CPU by then. Unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of money like everyone else seems to and you just don't seem to get that. I'm 20 years old...not 28 and I live in the United States and our economy sucks balls and our money isn't worth shite. I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't have paid more than 300 pounds for a computer like this and that's pretty much 700 USD.

And of course, all the rest of the PC forum users know that I've come a long way since my Athlon X2 processor. And my ATi Radeon X1950 graphics.
