Looks like this could be a good series, i plan to make a thread about it and hopefully get it stickied in the pc forums, if anyone can save themselves money+ get a better pc for less than the retail cost= happy times

i was an exclusive console gamer..

all the way from the nes days.. purchased the snes, n64 then the ps2 now ps3.

its been nearly a year i started gaming on the pc.

My games are so much cheaper and better looking.

my ps3 is just used for its exclusives now... multiplats are just cheaper and better on the pc.

PS: i even got all my old nes, snes, n64 classics downloaded on the pc as roms.

now i dont need to keep those old boxes around.. they actuually play better on the pc then the wii lol and i dont even have to pay for them again... why should i? when i previously paid for the games already.

Every year, I upgrade my parts or just overhaul the whole computer if I think its not going to be able to handle the newer games. I love building my own computer because it is cheaper for me and lasts longer in the long run. It really is not that hard to build one but for some people its almost impossible.

Once 8 core processors come out, I'll most likey upgrade my computer again even if games are not using it. It just feels good to have all that extra power in case you need it one day.

There are tons of videos and tutorials on how to build a PC. Just to let you know, anyone with some basic computer knowledge can build a PC nowadays. Just make sure stuff is compatible with each other. Newegg.com and TigerDirect.com are the two most common sites to buy computer parts. Also in terms of videos, here is one as an example done in two parts.

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

FYI, these videos are from Newegg's YouTube channel. So these guys know what they are doing :)

Also, I have built my own rigs and have a degree in IT so I have some credibility I think.

Skynetone6048d ago

but im still none the wiser, i guess you need some computer skills to feel comfortable doing stuff like this, the only think i upgraded was my ram, and even that was a problem finding out what ram i needed,

ill give ya a bubble

When building your own PC, most items plug in one-way and the rest just requires a little manual reading.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing11d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit11d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing11d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
