Here is my recent PC upgrade. Finished 2 days ago.
Just waiting for my dual GTX 580. Stupid X-mas put them om backorder

Its a solid system and cost a fraction compared to a already built system you buy in a store.
Also systems like this can hardly be found in a store

Picture Gallery of my PC Upgrade

I have listed all the parts if people are looking for parts

my reason for not running max is i just don't care that much it looks great on medium, and most of the lag that is going on right now is because of the servers not our comps, give them a few months to fix and tweak everything and it will settle the fps spikes, as for why i don't have an ultimate comp i would rather drop my money by the thousands into my car to keep the beast running faster and faster and ill just happily live with my 2 year old quad core that runs everything good enough for me.

You can't find these type of computers in store because they like to sell mass produced piles of pooh to technologically ******** 40 year olds that this thread seems to be attracting

It is very easy for an uninformed consumer/gamer to spend a $500 for a computer with an 250mb integrated video card that stutters to play TOR at 20FPS. The sales agent me and my brother spent most of our time with was under the impression that the CPU determines how well your system can play a game as so was my brother. While this is true to a certain extent she was un-familiar with what a GPU was. Thankfully I went and my brother got a good machine that can handle most games very well.

Yeah. I don't know who hires these people. I've applied for a job a Best Buy a few times. I build my own computers, watch all the new movies, play games, read electronic magazines, have a high school diploma, previous employment history all in good standing, friendly, clean, and well spoken. Never had a call back. However, most of the sales associates and even geek squad employees are generally unhelpful and lack general knowledge about any products. This seems to be a theme in MANY businesses. Ironically, you'd think with less jobs would come more competitive applicants. No clue.

It's better to employ people who will stay ignorant to what they are doing all you would do is tell people all the computers there are HORRIBLE and they'd be better off to go build one themselves which means theyd lose business , can't get along in this world being an honest person
