So I am in the process of upgrading my PC just for Planetside2. Is that pathetic or what?? haha. Well i did have the same hardware still in use from 8 years ago so i think i am due. Plus i now have the means to pay for exorbitant hardware expenditures (Thank you Air Force and spec pay).
So as i go thru this process i encourage my friends to make suggestions. I have not put much thought into the new hardware and tech avail nowadays so i am looking at a lot of research to get back up to speed. Plz make suggestions if you feel like it. I will post my progress thus far.
Right now i have a super tower with the asus crosshair IV motherboard, 8 gigs of kingston hyperx ram, water cooled amd phenom 6 core processor, nvidia gtx 8800 vid card (orig from back in the day)
the plan: wait for the new ATI 7000 series to come out and then decide.
;3 monitors spanned
;upgrade water cooling to include chipset and vid card when new card is decided upon
;ssd drives in raid 0. (waiting for local shop to provide 2 top of the line 64 gig drives when avail) right now i got my old raptors in raid 0 running this rig - unfortunately the windows aero score is very low in the sata 1 drives (4.5?)
wada u guys think??
