700s are a refresh but the 9000 should be new.

I'm pretty anti loyal since switching. Awesome performance for price and the driver updates always give the best performance boosts I've seen.

I'll be getting a 9970 most likely. I am hoping to push 4k display soon.

I was referring to the 9000 series nvidia cards that were just a clock boost on the 8000 series nvidia cards several years ago.

I keep telling myself I should build a new computer because mine is definitely old but it handles everything I throw at it just fine. Am I running ultra high settings on everything? No, but most everything runs on high which is good enough. I also keep telling myself just wait till HL3 comes out to build a new computer. I might be waiting a while if that's the case. I think the current plan is to build a new computer after the new consoles are released because then game developers as a whole will be trying to push the architecture's limits again. Other than crysis which I actually skipped 3 there aren't any games out there that really bring my computer to it's knees.

Intel core 2 duo extreme edition @4GHz
8GB RAM corsair dominator
evga 780i mobo
nvidia 680 vid card
120GB raptor drive

I've been just updating the video card as needed over the years. Man this thing is 6-7 years old now!! I'm over due.

Core 2 Duo @ 3.3GHz
8GB DDR2
512mb 9800 GTX
80GB Raptor HDD + 2GB Seagate storage HDD

When all the new stuff came out last year I went ahead and built my current machine, yes I splurged just a tad bit

Ivy Bridge 3570k @ 4.6GHz
16GB DDR3
2 x GTX680 4GB total video memory
120GB Vertex 4 SSD for OS/Programs
250GB Vertex 4 SSD for games
2GB Seagate - carried over from old machine

I have not yet ventured into the world of PC gaming. Console gaming is enough for me.

Anyone else mad that they're releasing all these good games for PS3 in like September right before the PS4 launches? GTA V, GT6, Ratchet and Clank Nexus, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD. How am I supposed to play all of those before PS4 comes out? I mean GTA itself I could play for like 4 months and not get bored.

LOL same here. I have my PS3 which suits me fine. I ususally cheap out when it comes to computers. My laptop is over 5 years old. Heres my beast

4gigs DDr2 of ram
750gb hard drive
AMD Athlon X2
ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics card

Oh and if I watch a netflix vid for more than 6 minutes it overheats and shuts off.

Needless to say, its an animal.

Each sticker on the glass adds clock speed to the GPU, each sticker on the case adds clock speed to the CPU

I'm gonna come over today and take it from you by force, and you will enjoy it. Also, I'll be grabbing the game as well. :|
