Since I acationally play computer games, having to upgrade your computer hardware is needed once in a while..
And with all the upcomming titles (Battlefield 3, Star Wars The Old Republic, Diablo III aso..) it was about time to upgrade my now approx 4 year old hardware with some new pieces!
Before the upgrade, I was stuck with:
CPU: Intel Core2Quad 2.4ghz (Q6600)
RAM: 7.5 GB Corsair (8GB, but some trashed..)
GFX: ASUS nVidia GeForce 8800 GT ...
HDD: 2x 320gb SATA II HDD in RAID0
Optical: NONE (old burner crashed...)
extra storage: 3x 1TB SATA II HDD
so, from a gamers perspective it was about time!
My new rig:
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k, quad core running at 3.4ghz
RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance
GFX: ASUS nVidia GeForce GTX 570
HDD: 3x 300gb SATA II in RAID0 (unfortnately didnt have more :()
Extra Storage: 3x 1TB SATA II HDD
this is indeed quite an upgrade! So far I have run Mafia II and World of Warcraft on MAXIMUM settings, without any lag.
The new Battlefield 3 beta, everything is on max settings, besides Anti Aliasing.
and it runs smooth!
