So, I got tired of my piece of crap laptop and decided to get a new computer. I bought the parts off Newegg. Got them and after 6 hours of building had a new computer. Here are the specs...
CPU= AMD A8 3850 2.9Ghz quad core (3.2Ghz OC'd)
RAM= 8GB 1600Mhz (2 Dimms)
GPU= AMD 6550m
MoBo= ASRock A75 somethin or other (USB 3.0, SATA III, UEFI)
OD= cheap Sony DVD burner thing
PSU= OCZ MODXstream 500w
CASE= Rosewill Destroyer
Monitor= Hanspree 21.5" 1920x1080 LCD
OS= Win7 Home premium
WEI= 7.3, 7.3, 6.6, 6.6, 5.9
And yeah, it runs C&C3 at max settings at 1080p and boots in 24 secs after post. I am happy with it fo-sho, and it cost $721.55. How does a non-rich-parented 15 year old pay for this you may ask, well I detassle ( En.wikipedia.org (I walk the fields) $1,200 this year), and my mom paid for $200 of it (it is my Birthday and Christmas present for this year)
Nice, I like,
My dad's is ALMOST that good, (2.66 quad core) and it can do, well.. anything... so, you should be doing fine for a considerable time 8)
