mALX1 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This is the best news EVAH! I am getting a new PC for Xmas - actually won't get it till the first week of January. Here are the stats: Intel Core i7 4790 CPU 16 GB DDR 3 Memory 240 GB SSD Drive 1 TB Standard Drive 780 GTX Video Card DVD RW Drive Windows 7 Pro 64 bit He upgraded the power supply from the original order, and I know he will install it - but he left it off the ticket so I can't write what it is - all I know is that it is better than the 3.3 Ghz one I had on the original order. It only comes with a one year warranty on parts and labor, so I better be careful with it, lol. Since I'm coming to this from an HP with an NVidia 8600 graphics card, I know it will be better than what I had - but don't know how it stacks up with today's PC's. Can anyone tell me if this system is ok? (I got a matching one for my son too, because he games online a lot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mALX1 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 That's a pretty-sweet PC. Thank you so much, LHammonds. I am really so glad to hear that, because I really just let the store owner dictate what to put in it. He was much more knowledgeable than I was, so I just agreed with everything he said to do. Also, since I bought my son a matching one for his Xmas present - wanted to make sure it was decent. He plays a lot of online games that require a powerful setup. I really appreciate your input very much; I have a very high respect for your opinion and expertise in the field. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTouch Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 you forgot the diskette drive :P notice how OP completely ignored mentioning the PSU specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mALX1 Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 you forgot the diskette drive :tongue: notice how OP completely ignored mentioning the PSU specs? I did mention the PSU in a comment below the specs - and the only diskette drive I know of it having is mentioned too. Like I said, I don't have any knowledge of these things so was relying on the salesman at the computer store to give me a good build. Since I was buying my son a matching one I really wanted to know if I had done okay by him - he is in college and games online with friends. Last PC I bought him turned out to be a piece of garbage, that's why I went to a custom builder this time. (and got myself one too, because my old PC could only play Morrowind and Oblivion at half graphics, and couldn't play any games newer than Oblivion).

Thank you for helping. Geez, 500 days? Urk, that SSD was expensive! (but - technically, that is close to two years, and by then there is no telling how much more advanced the game requirements and hardware stats market might be - he might be ready to upgrade by then anyway. I really appreciate the help, thank you! My son has been playing on his for a few days now, I won't get mine for another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
