I see that it's equipped with an Intel GMA, can you upgrade? Do you know of any specific models? Btw I have the HP Pavilion dm1z right now. Like the current gen games at medium settings fluently. that doesn't look too small...

I know this was a "silly" question but just that I don't want to spend another $500 on a GPU any time soon. I've actually played Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3, and all the Crysis titles and perhaps I shouldn't have used the term "maxed". I meant like Ultra level/Very High presets in many games at...

Anyone buy this? I just picked it up for $12... Pretty much Red Orchestra 2 w/ flamethrowers and banzais. I still love RO2 though and I hope this would bring more players.

I know you can't really say without my other specs but I just wanted to know like how long until GTX 580 will be bottlenecking my hardware no matter how good the other parts are. But if you really need to know I have an AMD Phenom II x6 1055T 3.0Ghz , 8GB DDR2 Ram, and Windows 8.

Thanks for the input guys. I knew IPS monitors have great viewing angle, that's why I gave one a try. Even though I game on it and use my TN monitor (sorry about that confusion with LED/LCD/TN) as secondary monitor, I sometimes find the TN monitor more easy on the eyes. Don't notice any...

Yea I assumed that was the reality. But I still like my view. :rolleyes:

@Ultima99 Thanks for that, I'll keep the list in mind. Btw, what's conventional online storage? @Red Squirrel Can you explain what's a master raid array? :P I'm only half way educated with all these terms. ;)

lol rather than buying multiple external hard drives for back ups , I would just go with a cloud back up solution but I guess their server can die too... >.< Are there estimates for how long a regular HDD/SSD lives with heavy use?

I wouldn't want Intel to buy out AMD even if they had to give Nvidia a x86 license. To my uneducated mind, Intel & Nvidia = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ AMD = $ :D

Other than like the Alienware M11x , are there any other well-built ones that aren't overly expensive?

I used to be so against Windows 8 like everyone but like many gamers, I've converted over and honestly, no complaints here... I don't even use the start8 :P

Gah, isn't that like the beginning of next year???

I still haven't made it past 10 years with my custom built computer so I'm wondering are the HDDs/SSDs that I got for the build like guaranteed to die some day? I mean I have some REALLY important files on these so... Also even if I back them upto an external drive, aren't external drives...

So I recently bought a Dell IPS monitor wanting to try out the "new tech" but I'm wondering, is it in any way better than regular LCD/LED monitors for gaming? Although I do like its visuals in some games, I feel like in other games it looks worse... :confused:

NOOO... I wanted an ARMA 3 key... How did you even get those?
