[...] you awesome performance. Spending tons of money on top of the line stuff is just a waste. Hell, I built a similar PC to his (slightly better CPU, less RAM as I’m on XP, and only a single video card) for around $800 [...]
uuuaaaauuuuuuuuu…………
Broh you need a MAC
Viper is a gamer so a Mac would not be a good choice. Either way, very nice rig!
I’m actually in the process of replacing this computer. It’s video card and CPU are starting to show it’s 2.5 year age and struggles with some of the newer video games (I imagine that it doesn’t help that I game at 1920×1200 resolution, hehe).
This is the new rig: (just replacing the internals, keeping the rest of my current computer)

Now that is a nice rig! You will not be disappointed with the I7 and GTX 470.
I currenty have that cpu, but i’m using the discontinued GTX295 series and 6gb of ram and that combo has heaps of head room in games. So yeah it’s a great upgrade for you, especially for 1920×1200 res!
I just decided the i7 wasn’t worth the extra $80 and switched back to having an i5 750 on my build list.
