GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB
OS: WinXP Pro 32 bit SP3

Hoping this set up will run ED at playable speeds on low to medium settings.
(solid 60 FPS with vSync on @ 1280x1024 & low setting would be nice)

Also hoping to be able to buy a completely new kit (around Q1 of 2014) that will run ED with all bells & whistles enabled without breaking a sweat. :)

Oh well, that PC is not going to cut it. Good news (for me) is that it doesn't have to :).
I have my new rig up & running, and I love it :D!

Oh yeah, specs :)

CPU: i7 4770K @ 4,2 GHz with Corsair Hydro H90 cooler
RAM: 16 GB (2*8 GB) Kingston HyperX Beast 2400 MHz
GPU: Asus GTX780-DC2OC 3078 MB (OC 1069 core / 1540 mem)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1

This SHOULD run E: D well - albeit not sure about the "with all bells & whistles enabled without breaking a sweat" -part though...

Well got my new rig up and running, didn't realize how big it would be(three times that of old one lol) but looks the business and runs so quiet!

So started off with Wins8.1 tried registration on start up but wont accept key(sigh) but logged in with local for now and all working so far, kinda like the look of it, but frustrating at times trying to sort the tiles out but getting there.

Installed Goggle chrome and it synced bring all my favs/files back which has helped a lot, got three games(as bought GTX 770 card with rig) to download, one being Assassins Creed Black-flag but not tried it yet.

So for day one not a bad start, any tips advice with Win8.1 most welcome cheers.

Glad you got your new rig up and running! Congrats!! :D

Win 8 (and 8.1) are just fine. 8.1 - I'd just recommend taking advantage of the option to boot directly to the desktop and not the Start Menu. IMHO that's the only real reason to get 8.1 ;) I personally don't use classicshell, but whatever floats your boat. It's true that Metro and the new Start Menu are worthless on a desktop system, but it's not like I used the Start Menu that much even in Win 7.

Windows 8.1 will accept your key, you just have to hit it hard enough.

It all stems from all Windows 8 classifying themselves as upgrades instead of full retail copies.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE

"MediaBootInstall"=dword:00000000

That will fix it.

A particularly upsetting mess. I knew someone who bought boxed Windows 8 Pro from Walmart, installed it, had the same problem as you. Took it back to Walmart who wouldn't exchange it, so they bought another copy of Windows 8 Pro, installed it - and same problem. Over $400 wasted.

lol thanks but it was me! got up this morning and checked the reg number again, noticed one of the 8s looked like a B and hey presto it worked(both me and my other checked over and over last night and didn't notice it..(dark maybe?) she works in I.T. to! lol

When you said hit the key hard enough i was thinking of my trusty hammer! :eek: anyway thanks.

@Jenner yeah i might go to Classic shell but am gonna take a few days with 8.1, i seem to be getting through it ok at the moment, placing fav tiles and getting my head round the system (don't mind change if i can work it out)

Again have Google chrome installed now to, which i can flip back to with all my old settings/files, so have that as back up.

Have to say again very pleased so far with rig(i cant hear it at all!)

An awful lot of core i7 users on this forum. For 99.9% of games now and probably for the immediate future a core I5 is plenty especially one that is over clocked. if you are building\thinking of building your own or buying one from the high street (not recommended!) then get one with just a core i5 and save yourself the extra money you'd spend on a core i7.

A core i7 is serious overkill on a gaming pc unless your also doing lots of multitasking or video editing. This is not just my personal opinion but the opinions of others who build computers for a living so they should know.

There is NO such thing as "overkill" when gaming. The more numbers crunched in the shortest time equals more frames per second at greater ingame distances, the smoother the game play, the better a pilot you will be in game.

I haven't taken the plunge with Windows 8 yet. We have a number of test systems at work that have it installed, and 8.1, and I'm really not seeing the point of it over Windows 7 yet. We don't use it for gaming of course so there may be some benefits there that I am unaware of.
