[QUOTE=General Techniq;347872]You haven’t built a gaming PC in over 15 years, and you’re gonna build one for BF3?
I’ll be going with a brand spanking new alienware with top ram/gpu/cpu/psu/cooling and whatever else. I want no bottlenecking, nor do I want to have to deal with tweaking this or that. Max settings single/coop play, prime settings multiplayer, end of story.[/QUOTE]
Uh, no way. I know how to build a PC. I’ve built 100s of vid-cap PCs piece by piece when I worked for a digital video capture company that recorded live conference/events. Alienware is great for rich people or spoiled kids, but I can build a badder monster for less.
If you need some basic assistance, may I please point you here:
