Give or take a few different brands, but basically this. I have the monitors and the cd drives, could use a new sound system though but I'll worry about that later.

Not thrilled with the noisy cpu cooler, but it's your system of course.

I built a system with that same cooler and the same tower, and they work very well together.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Is it cheaper to build your own computer, or do you just do it for the customization?

 

[Anvil]

Both. If you buy the parts separately from different dealers, then you always save money.

This system will probably only cost me about $1300 CAD, or $1225 USD.

That spec sheet is just all hardware from that one specific place here in BC.

 

[SirDidymus127]

CHRIST YES!!!!

YUS!

sooooo.... is this true? and how is it?

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

Is it cheaper to build your own computer, or do you just do it for the customization?

it's cheaper, but you there's a huge risk in overall stability and the loss of a warranty. which, imo, is the best thing ever! i've busted motherboards and video cards and it's all on futureshop's dime!

 

[Anvil]

If you know what you're doing, you can probably build yourself a better system than a place like futureshop or bestbuy can.

Of course, you always are at risk of blowing shit up. But that's always fun.

 

[AsModEe]

sooooo.... is this true? and how is it?

not true. Or at least, not true in Canada. I called in different video game shops and they all answered the game is released the 22nd (don'T know why it wasn't the 21st)

 

[Anvil]

Yea, down here there was a mix up and supposedly Walmart sold a few copies by accident.

The 22nd is what I'm being told.

 

[SirDidymus127]

thanks

 

[Söy]

picked this up today. i spent 3 1/2 hours and im only on the 3rd level (barely; just started it). if i didnt have to go to work i'd probably still be playing

 

[Anvil]

I'm playing it right now.

 

[AsModEe]

woo, wasn't it supposed to be released only tomorrow?

 

[BlueSky]

Picked it up before work(argg)

going to rock this bitch all night

 

[EricT]

So yeah, the X360 version has been floating around everywhere...

I bought the PC version on steam last night, since it got activated today, and its still fucking downloading...

Yeah, I'm getting pissy.

PC demo kicked the shit outta the x360 demo though.
