Yeah, It's not as bad as most people make it out to be.I put together an Ivy Bridge build at the end of 2012 using a single GTX 680 2gb with an Asus 1440p monitor, it ran BF3 45-60fps depending on map with few settings turned down.Occasionally I would see memory usage on the card reach 1800+mb range depending on game, so it can be taxing on the card at times. If you ever want to see a solid 60fps in newer games you're definitely going to need two 3gb+ cards at the res.

Razer has serious quality control issues, some people will recieve a product that will service them for years to come and others my not be so fortunate with their Razer product. I personally had nothing but bad experieces with Razer keyboards and mice so I tend to stay away from anything with their logo on it.Cooler Master makes nice mechanical keyboards; if I remember correctly they are rebranded Filco mechanical Keyboards. Brown swtiches are a hybrid switch for typing/gaming, you could visit a local computer store that sells mechanical keyboards and try out all the diffrent switches since people have diffrent taste and tolerance to the sounds that some of the switches make.

Meh, with all these console ports I don't think I'll be dropping 1k on a single video card any time soon.

Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3.

Old timers say it's the witch riding your back, haha. I had a couple of occurrences; the stranges one was when I fell alseep after a long day on the floor laying on my back when a eerie transparent figure stood over me similar to the Predator when he's cloaked.

(Prebuilt) Intel Celeron 1.3ghz

256MB generic ram

40gb Samsung 5400rpm hdd

Radeon 9000 agp 64mb

(First pc build) AMD Athlon 64 3200+

2gb G.skill ram

80gb Seagate hdd

Nvidia 6800gs

I built my second one back in 2010 which is in my sig.

I wouldn't mind having another GTX 680.

I recently chose it as my os on a build I put together recently, I like it to be honest. I adjusted to the new ui rather quickly, it can be a bit annoying to navigate unlike w7 but overall I'm happy with it .

If money isn't an issue then go for the Intel build since it has the best performance atm, I personally don't have any favorites when it comes between AMD and Intel. Amd is definitely the better choice for someone looking for a gaming build on a budget since their cpu's provides decent performance at a lower price than Intel.

Hello GS community, recently I've been thinking about putting together another rig soon. I currently have a Amd 955 Phenom II black edition oc'd to 3.7ghz with a 5850. I'm a avid wow player but I want to get back into the Battlefield series (BF3), would a completely new build with a few other upgrades such as a ssd, more up to date video card, etc be worth it?
