    No. I won't be going to TomsHardware. I'm too busy (read: lazy) to make another account on a different forum.

    My resolution is 1680*1050 and I'd like to be able to play at that resolution. I don't have a budget because I have $2 in my wallet.

    Now go crazy.

    Also, I have no brand loyalty, but from what I understand, more games are optimized for Nvidia than AMD so...

    I'm not knowledgeable enough about all the details so I'd have to do research and shit, which I'm also too lazy for.

    In the meantime, some guy asked the same question a few months back. I take it a mid range PC will be enough and you don't want a super high end machine. (even a mid range rig will run just about anything unless you wanna play on ULTRASUPERHIGH settings)

    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answer...ing-build.html

    The GPU they recommend him is the HD7870, the Gefroce equivalent of that is probably the GTX 660 Ti if I had to guess off the top of my head. And I'd make sure to get a video card with at least 2 gigs of VRAM. So that's about it right now, feel free to take my word with a grain of salt or wait for someone smarter to respond.

    In other news, new Witcher 3 trailer. Jaw is still on the floor. Will probably not return anytime soon.

    I've heard you pay a lot for the intel name. I've sn higher performing AMD parts for cheap. Would that make AMD a smarter choice?

    I prefer AMD, but just for the price. I don't know if one is really any better than the other. For what it's worth, I have only had one CPU actually die on me, and it was an Intel.

    Eh, I dunno. I read people saying how most games perform better on and have less issues with Intel.

    Well from what I see, you can either get an I5 3.2ghz quad core or AMD 8-core 4.0 Ghz for the same price. The question is if the 8 core one has an integrated card to hold me over for a bit.

    It's still only has 4 physical cores.

    The other 4 are virtual cores.

    And why the fuck would you need an octocore processor anyway? Are you trying to host a server or something?
