About Me

Shit son, I'm up to here in this bitch! I'm not hardcore, didn't play games as a kid, have not played final fantasy, do not like either mario or zelda, hell, the only games I still play are Deus Ex and Morrowind. That might change if I got either a console or a better system, but I can't afford that shit right now.

I like delicious caek. I can be found on irc.foonetic.net #xkcd quite often.

Check this shit out, nigga!

It sucks to have a shitty PC

..cause I don't pour money into my system (I'm not actually a hardcore gamer). I'm gonna buy a new system, and I'm poor as shit, so I will carefully deliberate my purchase. It needs to be expandable (don't want to buy new major components), stable, and cheap.

I am *told* that the Core 2 Duo processor is the "best proc on the market". So I figure I'll get one of those, along with a mobo that supports fancy multi-graphic-card-linking-thingees. Since I'm poor, I'll initially be putting only one in, but a second may follow, later.

Any tips on purchasing and comparing parts is appreciated. I'm under the impression that a) building from parts will be the cheapest, b) newegg is pretty much the best place to get parts and c) high quality parts are worth the premium.

ROCK ON!

You're pretty much right. You can always go over to dell.com and just try to build a computer to see what parts they have and what each part does. I always like to go there just to play around. It's a good way to compare prices, too... at least with dell.

Well if you look at my last blog post, the rig I have listed there is a pretty good one. And it was like 620 or something. If you want to save some more money, get only one 2gb RAM stick. And you could scale back the CPU a bit.

And yeah I've ordered from both newegg and tigerdirect, and personally I like newegg better. See you can always find cheaper parts, but SOME times they are cheaper cause they are made...cheap. With computer parts the premiums are there because they really are a great product, (For the most part) so it is worth it.

Well, I can give little imput, just be sure to go nuts when it comes to your video card.
