No matter how clear I try to make it, they always bring up gaming. I just refuse, simple as that. Just r00t_b33r policy.

Alright, I removed the laptop section and saved its contents. I regret nothing!

Thank you!
If anyone ever asks for a laptop, I'd say just build a badass desktop and get a nice thinkpad. Don't try to combine the two ends of the spectrum, it just doesn't work!

That's what I always end up saying. "The best of both worlds."

No need for an i5 here, it's a waste of money. So is 8GB RAM, to be honest, but it's cheap enough to be forgivable. The 6850 will run games like those perfectly and I threw in a super high-quality monitor to make everything so much better for you. Concentrating on what matters and whatnot! Great rig for the price.


Are you sure an i5 wouldn't be a good idea?
Ilke isn't an i3 the bare minimum required to play Guild Wars 2.
I'd rather pay that little bit extra for better FPS and Gameplay.

Also I'll sound stupid here but do I need a wireless network adapter or something?
Or is this inside a component?
Also wil this play Football Manager 2012 in 3D Mode?

I could work an i5 in, but bigger sacrifices would be needed elsewhere. A higher-end motherboard would be in order as well as a regular ATX case and a lower-end graphics card. It's better to have the higher-end graphics card and the i3 really is nothing to shake a stick at.

Don't use wireless if at all possible.

Right, That pic really changed my mind over i3 processors.

Also unfortunately I am forced to use wireless, the router IRS in the hall so we can get it up and down stairs. Is it worth buying something to boost it?

Will I see a significant drop in quality or am I just more likely to lag?

If you get a decent enough connection, there won't be much of a difference. Here's a good card.

You're welcome, any time. Don't worry about rep, that's not why I do what I do!

Hey. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I know r00t_b33r and Generation know their stuff.

I have a total noob question. I'm planning on using the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 for my next build because I like my current ASRock motherboard, and it's pretty cheap. My question is, will I be able to space out my two GTX 670's, or will I need to buy a more expensive motherboard for that? I heard it can make a huge difference in temps if you space them out. It looks like I can just judging from the pictures, but I want to be completely sure.

Thanks.
