(Newegg has some good rebate programs) All I need to do to get it to blow out the upcoming consoles for this gen is to replace mt vid card with a $260 vid card, I've got this one lined up for a purchase this fall - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161432 - it has 4GB GDDR5 RAM on it, and thats for graphics alone, not to mention the afore-mentioend 16 GB DDR3 RAM for all other processing. Hell, with this vid card, my rig might be more powever than the PS FIVE =) Plus, as an added bonus, I don't have to play games with crappy thumbstick controls. Mouse is a lot more fluid for those headshots! |
So all you have to do to beat a 400 dollar system is spend another 260 dollars on top of the 500 you already spent?
Granted, you can get games cheaper. You can also update your resume on a PC. I get it, just saying its not THAT black and white.
I will admit that I miss my mouse and keyboard though!
