This is meaningless twaddle.

And this justifies your mini-modding how?

A twelve hundred dollar computer better be a monster in computer gaming

[The_Mitch]

Look at the price again, young grasshoppa!

[Mr. MR]

typing wrong stuff again
12 hundred

still pretty pricey

[The_Mitch]

Yes but I haven't built a 100% new computer since my very first build way back when (always have used recycled parts(granted I am using my same SSD and DVD and RAM but those are all less than 3 months old and the best you can buy right now)) and I always build on a budget. Now I have some extra money plus I should be getting a good chunk back from taxes and feel I deserve it. And yes, it will be a BEAST of a gaming computer.

Got my gaming PC for about $800+.

I honestly have no clue about PC specs and such, but it plays everything on max settings. Including Dolphin.

[Mr. MR]

The only problem with my gaming laptop is that it overheats and shutdown
I am too lazy to find a fix for it right now but I will get it fixed

[WiiAssasin]

Gaming.... laptop? That's like an oxymoron or something.

[Mr. MR]

It's really powerful and has a very nice graphics card and processor
Run's TF2 at best settings with no problem
