Three PC's, One Choice
Likes # 0
Posted August 14, 2013 at 10:27AM
So, I'm looking to buy a new PC, something to future proof and run the games I generally play and I would also like to know how much better it will be than my current one (I'll put the details on before the PC's I'm currently looking at).
I play a lot of FPSs and MMORPGs (used to be GW 2 until it was all samey) and I was wondering out of these three systems, which would you recommend value-wise and performance-wise.
Thanks for any input!
My Current PC
600W PSU
1TB Harddrive
AMD Phenom II X4 970 Processor @ 3.5Ghz
4GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 570
Asus Xonar D1 Soundcard

There is no such thing as future proof, because components and prices are changing all the time.
Regarding the specifications you have provided, then perhaps someone like Chronos the 2nd on this forum, might pick the post up, and have the answer?.
