Nothing (gaming-wise) really takes advantage of more than 2 cores still. The support just isn't widespread enough atm to really justify it. So if you want the best gaming performance, get the highest clocked dual core you can find. Quad and six core processors do shine in mulitimedia and video editing type of processes though. It all comes down to what really matters the most to you.
This just sounds lazy to me. I bet the parents have no idea what the ESRB ratings mean, otherwise I'm not sure why it is an issue at all. It's printed clear as day on the box that there is strong language and blood in the game. Why get an M rated game if the content that made it M in the first place is such a big issue? It's like, here is this nice four course meal, but I only want you to eat the appetizer. Parents should have known what they were getting in to. And I bet the OP knew full well what was in the game.
Please dont get an Alienware they are overpriced junk.V4LENT1NE
I agree 100%. Also, did no one read the part of the OP's post where he said he was going to be building it with a friend? He can either save money or get better parts than what these premades have. Help him with a Newegg or similar set up imo. (Do they have a UK Newegg?)
So I wasn't the one who applied the thermal compound the first time around on my PC. I ordered http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835426020 which should be here soon, but the reviews have me somewhat concerned. They keep mentioning how hard it is to spread it properly and that it is different than Arctic Silver 5 or whatever. Is applying it really that big of a deal, or are they making an issue out of nothing?
Is thermal compound a MUST? I scraped off my old compound a few days ago and don't have any extra. I was wondering if it was safe to use my computer without any thermal compound applied between the HSF and the CPU.
So, I want to get into a good multiplayer FPS and I'm looking at CS:S and TF2 as potential candidates. I just want opinions on these two. Which do you prefer? Which do you think has the better/stronger community?
