Just reading a thread about graphics cards and such a little further down the page. Didn’t want to risk thread hijacking by asking this there..
It’s all Greek to me. Well, mostly Greek. All this talk about wibble wooflers and dooberry flanges, just goes right over my head and yet the truth is I’ve been a PC Gamer since my mid twenties and that’s... well, it’s a long time and how rude of you to bring it up!
The last couple of years though I’ve been a console gamer, through a mixture of my PC either being too far out of date to play the games I really want to. With no cash to upgrade. Or as has currently been the case for the last six months, broken, busted, kaput, , with no cash to fix.
It’s a sad state of affairs I tells ya!
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to be without my consoles. My Playstations 1 through 4 and my 360 have taken me to wonderful places I’d never have been able to play otherwise. They’re great and I’ve never been able to understand the mentality of having to be in one camp or the other. I either have to be a console peasant, or a member of the pc master race. When the best way is clearly to enjoy the best of both worlds!
Fact is though, even in my best PC days I have never had a cutting edge PC. Limited funds always meant compromise in the machine and consequently in game options later on in order to get things running smoothly. But... next year I “might” and it really is only “might” at this point. Have a once in my lifetime opportunity to throw a couple of grand at a new gaming machine and for the first time ever (I hope) have no compromise.
Looking around though, many of the companies which build the PC’s for you, have horror stories on their customer satisfaction forums. I know only the bad ones are there because the happy endings are less likely to write in about it. But still it’s scary. “If” I get that opportunity, I’ll not get a second chance at that purchase. And before the well meaning among you suggest building my own. I refer you to paragraph two. I can barely build a ham sandwich, let alone a gaming pc and I could never risk that money on a potential botch job.
So with that said.. if I get that chance, does anyone have an idea as to the best place to go, best thing to do?
And now if you’ll excuse me. Somebody said ham sandwich. Haaaaam Saaaandwich...
Badger Out.
