Brand New Computer!

[xidontcarex]

as some of you might still remember, my old pc broke down the other day, but instead of spending 100bucks replacing a powersupply which would have fixed the problem, my parents wanted me to get a brand new computer, so i was like hey, why not?

Price:900something
Processor:AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor 3.20GHz
Ram: 8gb
Video Card:ATI Radeon HD 6850
PowerSupply:700W
Haddrive: 1TB
System type: Windows 7 64bit

worth it? No? comments?

No idea. I hate trying to make anything out of specs.

Heres the weird thing, i get lower FPS on mc than on my bro's computer, but yet my computer SHOULD be running faster than he is, as hes computer is only a quad core processor with 4gb ram while i have a hex core processor with 8gb ram o.o just dont really make sense to me...

Unless he has a better video card than me... but i dont think thats the case

I have one word for you:

Notch.

[MKindy]

You might be able to get a better deal if you have parts now that can go in your new machine. For instance, do you need a new hard drive, or do you have plenty of space on your current one? Do you need a case, or can you remove everything from your current computer and put new stuff in? Do you have a current Windows CD so that you don't have to re-purchase the OS, or can purchase an "upgrade" version at a reduced cost?

Newegg currently has a bundle with that same processor -- only thing it lacks is a video card, 4gb RAM, and a Windows key: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBund ... mbo.719555 Amazingly, Windows and the video card by themselves, brand new, are about $360 total.

If you already have a hex core computer, and your parents are suggesting getting a new one, please ask them how much you can sell the old one for, I might be very interested in buying it. <3

Like Kindy said, only buying the parts you need will save you a ton of money.

[Darktaint]

if your brothers cores are faster then yours, his mc will run better. This is due to notch only coding so mc use's just one core. *Sadface*

[Wildwill002]

I want your parents. Ive had to start a donation thing just to get £40 for a new cpu :'(

lol the specs shown above is the new computer which im currently using now, The old computer i had that broke down was very different, if i still remember the specs it was something like:

2.8GHz Dual core processor, 4gb ram, windows vista 32bit, ATI radeon 1650, the worst part, is that its HDD only had 70gb(This was my cousin's old computer that he didnt want) i had to throw in another 250gb HDD just to get my games downloaded lol

The only thing that broke down in my old computer was the powersupply, things literally melted in there, i coulda fixed it, but my parents said it was an old computer, so just get a new one...

if your brothers cores are faster then yours, his mc will run better. This is due to notch only coding so mc use's just one core. *Sadface*

Im pretty sure its about the same speed, if speed is how much GHz it runs in, then yea both of ours is the same thing o.o i did find 1 that had 3.3GHz that could be boosted to 3.7GHz, but i didnt like the fact that it had no reviews, as i did buy this off of newegg.com

[Aenir_bEPU]

You already have 4GB ram, why not re-use them and just buy 4 more?

[xidontcarex]

well, the computer came with 8gb o.o and i might fix up that old computer so i would have 2 computers lol

[Aenir_bEPU]

Wait you already bought the computer?

What's the point of this thread then?

[MKindy]

well, the computer came with 8gb o.o and i might fix up that old computer so i would have 2 computers lol

How much would you take for the old computer? I'm interested in buying.

[xidontcarex]

idk if im actually gonna sell it atm, ill have to think about that, XP ill get back to you on that 1

one question. can it run Arma 3?

[Aenir_bEPU]

Better question: can it run Crysis?
The original of course, we don't acknowledge what some of you think you may have seen earlier this year.

The original crysis 1 i can definitely run it, on highest quality too, i have a copy of it, and i already test it, Crysis 2 i have no idea as i dont have the game, wanna donate 60$ so i can test?

one question. can it run Arma 3?

never heard of the game, but pretty sure it can

I've noticed that Video card quality is rather important if you want a good FPS with Minecraft. My cousin also got a new-ish laptop that was pretty good, except that he had a generic-out-of-blockbuster less than 1 G graphics card.

Crysis 2 does not exist.

[vallorn]

Crysis 1 is harder to run than Crysis 2.

that is all.

a better question is. how many Cats can it support in Dwarf Fortress without the framerate chugging?
