Yeah, and with this configuration you will need an upgrade for all the latest PC games in a year. |
No you won't.
In-fact most of the components in that PC is already technically several years old anyway.
The AMD FX 6300 was released 3 years ago, based on a CPU family released 4 years ago.
Considering my Q6600 and Q9200 CPU's I have laying around are still capable of gaming even almost 8 years after release... These FX chips still have a few years of life left in them.
The Radeon R9 380 is a re-badged Radeon R9 290 an evolutionary step-up from the Radeon 7970 released 3 years ago, it is a card that handles gaming at 1440P and 1600P really well, 1080P will be a cake walk for it for a few more years yet.
Yeah, to bad that I also use my PC for work, and multitasking. Shold I be ashamed that I actually like high-end PC-s?

We had this discussion several times before and Im getting sick and tired of being called out, just because you do not like where I stand and that I do not neceseraly like where the PC industry is at the moment and where it is headed.

What you believe is irrellevant. If you do not wish to be called out on something, then don't say it to begin with.
You do not need to upgrade your PC to play the latest games on a yearly cadence, especially for the cake-walk 1080P resolution.
When it is a personal opinion I think I have a fair point of asking to not be called out. My believes are not irrelevant. They are just as relevant as any other posters on this site, believe it or not even yours. Thank you.

Yes they do, to bad that only 1/5th of PC developers know or are willing to put some effort behind optimization. As someone who has worked as a gaming QA for an outsource company, believe me, rushing in some fixes 3 weeks before launch, is far from enough.

Rubbish.
What makes you think a Developer needs to do mich if any optimizations to begin with?
Most developers utilize a game engine that is already optimized for various platforms and it's API's and hardware.
Pretty much every EA game will use Frostbite which runs, plays and looks better on PC.
Cry Engine, Unreal, Gamebryo... You name it, are all PC optimized and perform great.
Please stop calling my opinion rubbish, or I will report you. No need to behave like a 12 year old. Other than that as somebody who actually worked as a QA tester for mobile, console and PC games, believe me that most developers barely have the monetary will or talent to properly optimize their software. If you ever go trough a one month testing rush period you will know. Dont believe me? I might be making this stuff up. Why dont you go and actually look this thing up in ANY developer or QA forum and you will find plenty of articles.

Buying a better cooler is always a plus. The standartd ones are often not up to the task when you try and squeeze out every performance you cvan from your rig. So in most cases I would most deffinatly recomend a good, 3rd party cooling system.

Rubbish. This proves you don't know what you are talking about.
The only time a stock cooler is going to be insufficient is with heavy overclocking. The stock coolers can even tolerate moderate overclocks just fine.
And at stock are more than sufficient.
Again calling rubbish something that anyone who ever built a PC will know. And I never wrote that it is a must, just that it is a plus. A better cooler increases the systems life and in most case performance, especially when you are starting to push the limits... and yes, the possibility of overclocking is a huge plus. Never in the last 10 years did I play on a rig that didnt have anon-stock cooler, and Im glad for it.

Also, I wonder, how many PC gamers actually payed less then 200$ for their monitors? I know I payed almost 300, and I can say that the quality is pretty much OK, but you can easily go far higher. Oh, and what about a mouse or keyboard? How many of them play on sub 20$ mouse? I doubt that many...

I paid $700 for mine. But I also got three of them for triple monitor 1440P gaming.
I have a $10 cheap keyboard and mouse from Kmart, does the job.
It does, but so does a good LG/ASUS/SAMSUNG gaming monitor and a Razor mouse. Hell, I bet they are actually doing a far better job at it to
