Going to see if Arma 2 goes any cheaper if not getting that too.


I doubt it's gonna go any cheaper than it already is.

As for what I bought, I didn't buy anything for myself actually but a friend gave me Metro 2033.

Only game I bought in the summer sale was Skyrim when it went down to 50-75% off.

Yet again even on a sale, steam managed to screw me over..
I bought GTA IV Complete pack to a friend for 17,49€.
Two days later the GTA "COMPLETE" pack goes for 7,49€ so I got that.
Then I bought Metro 2033 for a friend for 2,49€.
And finally bought Far Cry 2 for 2,49€ to store in my inventory.
I really hope I have better luck in the next sale which probably will be during winter.

4K on a pc that will be out-dated in less than 3 months.

As for what I bought, Serious Sam 3 - BFE.
Didn't buy anything else as everything I care about I already own.

I also got Battlefield 3 on Origin. (Like 30 % off I think ?) But that doesn't really count, does it ?

I just bought Saints Row 3 in the last flash sale... going to buy either GTA complete pack or Fallout depending which wins the vote for last deal.

4k? Jesus Christ, I spent 2k on a shitty prebuilt a couple years ago and it still serves me well and I can run most modern games on high or normal.

Can't you just list the specs you got? Or did they tell you "Hey, buy this kickass PC for 4 grand that we won't tell you the specs of!"

sNAFU, dunno about you but 3900-4000$ seems like the biggest rip-off to date for Dual 1GB GPUs, 4GB Ram and Windows XP.

Wow, my system didn't even come close to that after all the parts I've put in. My system probably only cost $1,500 at most https://eevee.facewan.com/imgstore/z55vvfg.png

Windows XP probably wouldn't really be able to take advantage of the hardware to it's fullest - i mean drivers are still developed for windows xp of course - it's just that windows xp is now what, 10 years old?

Please post a dxdiag/speccy/whatever, lol

This is what i have (don't laugh, the mainboard is shitty i know, bla bla):

Harddisk: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB, SATA 6Gb/s (HD502HM)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K, 4x 3.30GHz, boxed (BX80623I52500K)
DDR3 RAM: ADATA XPG G Series DIMM Kit 8GB PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24 (DDR3-1600) (AX3U1600GC4G9-2G)
Graphics Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort (ZT-50306-10M)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P67-DS3-B3, P67 (B3) (dual PC3-10667U DDR3)

Summ of all best prices: 576,50 Euro

I paid like 700 Euro rougly 7 months ago, i feel like a fucking idiot already - i hate buying computers, i only really buy new ones when the old one is a piece of shit (my old one had an intel core2duo E4300 (the one with 1.8ghz) 2 GB of ram, and a geforce 8600 gts with 512 mb ram... the intel bottlenecked the geforce i think)

Good god Snafu and espeon, you both got ripped off on your computers. I built mine for around $1,200 and run a i7 2600k at 5.2Ghz with 12GB RAM. The hell is wrong with people these days overpaying for computers.

I got close to nafrayu's for about 300 usd.
As for five, buying the cheapest parts doesn't really bring you long life.

haha, the parts I paid for 4 years ago for my build are half the price now (except the graphics card which is only 2 weeks old)

There's good reasons, but I doubt Five falls into a single category. :D

You just be jelly I run 16 GB of ram and only use 7 of it at a maximum when Minecraft goes apeshit.
And no, don't tell me I don't need that much since you obviously can't decide on how much ram I want. Hell, once I start getting some cash, I will get 16 more or even max it to 64 GB when I buy a X79 motherboard just so people can brag about not needing that much.

I wish I had that much RAM. But I only have 4gb and a 32-bit version of windows. Needless to say, anything advanced that I do in 3D rendering sucks because of memory limitations.

Why do I find that hard to believe?
Don't take me wrong man but an i5 2500k is 219$ alone.

I run some high power usage programs and use my computer as a server sometimes, so I need the extra memory when usage goes high. I usually use around 4-5GB on average, but when I'm working on high usage programs I am at around 10-11GB.
