Digital Storm Falcon Northwest Maingear Origin NCIX Are any of these sites good? Should I just build my own, if so, then what is a good PC rig that is on the higher end of the spectrum?

Registered 9 years agoDefinitely build your own. I'm in the same boat as you, though, and will be watching this thread.
First, however, you must refer to it as a RIG. This is necessary.

Registered 12 years agoFirst thing to look at, surprisingly, is the resolution of your monitor.
That will tell you what gpu to get. -

Registered 5 years ago@Fake_Blood 1080p is what I want to go for, mostly because I think 4K can't do 144hz yet. I may be wrong. -

Registered 5 years ago@THFourteen How much do I want to spend? 0 dollars, basically win a contest.
Willing to spend... mid to high end maybe. I don't know exact price points, but I do remember when messing around Origin, I made a RIG that costed $4,169, though I did click on "Origin Recommended" and it was on the Genesis model.
So hopefully, something less than that. -

Registered 16 years agoCan't tell if you are trolling or not but if you have money to spend then go all out, i7 6700k, 16gb RAM, 1080, 500gb ssd
It's overkill but it'll last you a long time.

So this is your base, and then in order to get the costs down you can lower the CPU, RAM, GPU to whatever you can afford.
Hmmm £1400 this was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. -

Registered 5 years ago@THFourteen I was just being a literal dick in that first sentence, because no one really wants to spend money to get something, we'd all prefer to get things for free.
Anyway, thanks for your help, I am very grateful. You weren't some dickliss asshat who went out of their way to post "heh, your post is long, lolz"
I now know that this forum is just as cancerous as a Digital Foundry YouTube comments section -

Get a phat PS3 on the original firmware and sideload Ubuntu on it.
You'll get mad FPS from the cell processor. -
