Don't sweat it bruh. If it's bothering you, return the shyt you bought and get whatever they're recommending. If it doesn't bother you, enjoy what you have - you'll be able to play D3 on that.

nah IM straight :rudy:

You still could have ordered the stuff from Tigerdirect / Amazon Prime :snoop:, I know you don't want to put shyt together but it's not even hard.

its too late, nikkas kept saying "mms build it yourself" when i said how many times im copping a premade or using a service that builds it and ships it to me

i ended up going to another forum and they said the computer i copped was overkill, and that was all i needed to see. a guide i used showed me that my cpu should last for most games 3-4 years before upgrading may be necessary

might be the last time i build a PC, yall act like shyt is so simple nikka i do vector calculus and i still dont like computer assembly :flabbynsick:

it not being hard is a huge understatement, a monkey can put a desktop computer together, lol.

nothing is overkill.

no tech board is going to say that because it's about whats the best build you can put together, not if it's more than enough for your needs.

It overkill to buy PC for one game
That's what most say before they experience games running at full 1080p with AA and everything cranked up. They then turn on the 360 and do the :huhldup: when they see what's on the screen

then that "one game" turns into a steam library full of games

:to: i had this going in my head too

but you gotta look at it like this

whats the difference between playing 5-6 games youre half into steady for the course of 3 years

and playing 1 game for 3 years that you really enjoy :manny:

at the end of the day, i knew D3 was something i was gonna play :ehh: i couldnt say the same for Starcraft 2 or any of the shooters

but now that i have a beast machine i may buy a few if it seems worth it

That happened to me when I first hooked the computer to my HDTV. Before that I thought the PC games only look so good because of the small monitor. Then after months of playing PC games my neighbor bring over PS3 and it look like shyt
