I rarely post in or visit the tech. boards, but I imagine this question is pretty common amongst the lesser knowledgeable Anonymi: What should I buy/look into if I was interested in making a moderately good gaming computer?
My old one, which a friend put together, lasted me for about three years (seems so long) but allowed me to play games like HL:2 and the like with full graphics with no lag whatsoever. Recently, to my dismay, the power supply died and brought the motherboard with it. And I figured instead of replace the two, I could just build a new computer.
It'd probably be too much to ask if I were to hope for posts detailing what parts to get, etc... Instead, if you wouldn't mind, a rough summary of your own current system specs if you have a gaming computer would suffice. I'm not really looking for the omigod four-video card and 4tb hd computer set-up; a simple few month-year old mobo, one graphics card, etc, list would work just fine.
If anyone does help, I'd appreciate it if this didn't turn into a brand troll fest. Thanks.
