I cant even remember my name on this forum I used to have like 6 stars to my name lol I haven't been into computer in probably 8 years now or something like that.. I used to post like crazy on here overclocking 3dmark frying 9700pro video cards lol.. was fun... But anyway.. My last PC I ever built and overclocked I have been running for god it seems like probly 5-7+ years now.. I certainly got my money worth..
Currently I have
E8400 C2D @ 4400MHZ
4GB DDR2 PC800
Ati 4890OC 1GB
Asus or abit i cant remember P5Q-PRO mobo
Western digital 640AAKS
Antec truepower trio 650w
This was a more high end PC back then
But I find myself not being able to play any kind of video game anymore unless its like World of tanks of League of legends.. I wanted to try out Planetside 2 as I used to play planetside 1 for years back in the day but nope... I get like 10 fps and major stuttering.. Mainly a memory issue as the game maxes my memory usage at 4,000mb lol.. Seems most of my issues are memory related..
Anyway, I am severly outdated on computer knowledge and I don't think I really want to get back into hardcore overclocking with watercooling and using ice in buckets and so forth, but I also don't want something that is crap for overclocking, because I do want to overclock just nothing insaine.. Can you guys help me out ? I remember doing this for people back in the day building them computers and the tides have turned im completetly ignorant. I don't care if its AMD or Intel or Nvidia or ATI/AMD... I know Generally though AMD is still crap and their cards are good but probably not the best still.. So budget wise AMD all the way, but I want a PC that will last and blows mine away..
I don't want to spend anymore then $800 if I can... The PC above was around $800 and lasted me a very long time. I doubt I will be able to re-use my power supply as im sure the video card pins and motherboard pins have changed like they always do... I know my HDD is probably way outdated too. back before I stopped SSD'S were starting to come out and im sure they are perfected now right ?
Im keeping my LCD monitor It goes to 1680x1050 and that's all I really need.. Don't care about stupid crazy huge monitors.
Anyway, thanks guys
