I too, use a 460 GTX... been a beastly card, but its also becoming somewhat outdated... my WHOLE rig is becoming terribly outdated... all my money is tied up in other projects though, so anytime i game, she gets rode hard and long..... No money for new parts yet...

Of course, i say that as i have a 47" TV for a main monitor... Brand new Razer Tron gaming mouse... Cheap MadCatz Eclipse keyboard with a touch-screen numpad....

I have the G15 and G9, keyboard and mouse, respectively. Not a fan or razer all that much, especially for their price. The monitor is an old and faithful 22 incher. Had a TV for a monitor about as close as you do... And that didn't turn out well. I wear glasses now. And I never really enjoyed the bigness of a monitor like that.

I love it lol... used to have a 32" Plasma screen but the power board shot shit, and i havent gotten around to ordering new capacitors to fix it... so its been sitting under my desk in pieces for a few years now...

Hey, I also have GTX 460 on SLI. Good enough to max out BF3, Metro 2033, Crysis on 1080p. I wish I have more VRAM. 1GB is not enough for Skyrim with texture packs.

Here's a pic. Is she pretty?

Dan't right man, though your PSU looks a widdle dusteh.

Yeah I know. It's strange that I have plenty of dust filters.

I may sound like a dumbass, but with the pc I have right now, I'd rather just get a new gaming one than upgrade this old hunk of junk. I'm only 17 and not nearly good enough at understanding how to build my own computer yet, so it's probably the best choice.

When skipping generations of stuff, it's tough to NOT pretty much buy a new PC. The PC in the picture actually, I built about 3 years ago, maybe 4. It was last generation of Processors (Core 2 Duo), DDR2 RAM, and 2 Nvidia Cards in SLI. Both of my GPU's died about 2 years after I made the comp, so I bought another one 6 months later (when I could afford it, it's in this pic). Then I got tired of my comp being able to play all the rad games out there, but not at full specs, so only recently I upgraded everything else. My CPU is a 3rd version of the current generation of CPU's (so I skipped a lot), and with the new CPU, I needed a new mother board. And with that, my RAM was too old and wasn't ass efficient, so I upgraded to twice the size I had before with DDR3 RAM. And my old Heat sink didn't fit on the new motherboard, so I needed to buy another one.

It's awkward.

One of the main reasons for my previous statement is that I really can't update my RAM on my current computer. My cousin bought a fairly good gaming pc for just over $300 and I'm thinking about doing just that. Then, if I want, I'll do whatever "upgrades" I see fit on it. I've never even remotely tried working with stuff like this, but I guess it'll be good practice since I'm going into the IT field.

Go to newegg and build a comp from there. I guarantee, if you build a comp with your own two hands, it's like giving birth. (Not painful, but just feels good man.)

When you said go on the site to build one, did you mean they had a thing similar to the Alienware website with an on-site pc builder or did you mean to get the parts separately and build them?

No, sorry... Newegg is just parts, period. DELL and AlienWare are for dumbasses... They just give you the same shit that you can get on newegg, but for a thousands bucks more because of their name and because you didn't build it.

Exactly. The only reason I'd ever get an Alienware computer is if I actually had the money to waste on it. Don't get me wrong though, i really want to build my own pc. I just always assumed it would take a while to get all the parts you want at the price you want them for.

The only thing you need to know is what to buy. That's it, then it'll be a thousand bucks cheaper, it'll feel better and you'll be quadruply proud of yourself.

Just follow instructions carefully and you CANT fuck up building a comp.

But I did forget to mention, Alienware DOES have some unique tech in their comps. Not all, but they do, and they're still not worth it though. :(

I want to do this... I just need to get a damn job. lol

Feel my feels, brother.

That an Antec case?

Damn skippy. Antec 1200.

Nice nice. I got the DF 85. Shit's awesome =D

I'm poor, man. I do my best. I did in fact upgrade most of my shit in the last month. From C2D 3.0GHz to a 3rd gen i5 3.1GHz, from 4GB DDR2 RAM to 8GB DDR3 RAM.
