New Computer... What do you guys recommend
« on: December 01, 2010, 01:58:09 PM »
Hey guys, my computer is running a little on the downside with graphics and I was talking to Roy and he said that laptops are not good for Aces High. I asked him what computer but they do not endorse any and he said to ask you guys. So what computer do you recommend?
I ate so much sugar Hallowen night, I gave myself diabetes and gave everyone related to me second- hand diabetes.

It is seriously cost prohibitive to "buy" a high end gaming rig. Most pre-built systems you find are going to either be under-powered or over-priced.

My humble suggestion : build your own PC component by component.

Just sit down and seriously consider how much money you willing/can afford to put into a new system, THEN consider your new build.

Get the best components you can fit in that budget. (seriously stick to your budget, you'll spend enormous amounts of money if you just keep adding "a lil more")

If you wanna pay $500 - $1000 dollars with a pre-built deal, go ahead but, don't expect any HUGE improvements and, you'll prob be wanting to buy a new one in less then a year.

Assembling a PC is fun and rewarding, and will save you tons of money in high end-systems.

He has built many computers for AH players..If you do build your own, don't
skimp on the power supply. The most important part of any build IMO..

Definitely build your own.

I am still behind the times with my 'new' build from a month or two ago, but i run ah, fallout 3, and a few other games with maxed out graphics at 1920 x 1080 res on a 46" tv and it's unreal.
