    • Is it worth playing?
    • To the OP:

       

      That is an interesting question, and one best answered by you. Personally I realized it was time to quit WOW , as I did EQ, DAOC, SWG, etc etc, when it became more about the time investment and less about the fun I was having. When I looked up and realized I was logging in to do daily quests and raid I knew it was time to hit the door.

       

      WAR is fun. That was the first thing I really noticed about the game It is not gear centric or class centric. It provides many flavors of RVR with the different servers. It has an atmosphere where you can play by yourself , with friends or with newly found friends.

       

      Personally I have fun playing different classes, exploring, RVR and questing. So for me this game has been good enough to shell out money on a new PC. But everyone gets different things out of a game. If any of the things I mentioned sounds good then by all means pick up the game and try it. Most you are out is 50 bucks or so and you get a month of trying something new. Not a horrible expense unless you are a starving college student.

    • Here is what I ended up with

       

      Compaq Presario 5R5610F

      Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ (2 CPUs),  ~2.5GHz
      Memory: 3070MB RAM

      Windows Vista™ Home Premium

       

      Antec 600W power supply

      VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD3870 OC 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express Graphics Card

       

      Computer - $300

      Power supply - $ 110

      Video Card - $ 160

       

      Total box $ 570

       

      And it runs like a dream. Pretty simple now that I have done it. Can't believe I was so stressed about changing out a power supply. Live and learn I guess.

       

      Thanks to everyone for their help and feedback.

    • I have never built a pc from scratch but I went through and  priced the components and the money ends up being higher. Especially with shipping and there are no decent parts places where I live.

      I have found an asus locally at an office depot that fits what i need. Duo core, 2gb ddr2 ram, PCI X x16

       

      The power supply will need to be replaced and after reading up on that I figure I can do it.

       

      WIth that and a decent video card I should be good.

       

      None of the ones mentioned so far are either avail or in my price range. I am thinking a Geforce 512 for about $80 would let me do the whole thing for around 500-550 but the guy at the store said something about the rails in the box not being able to handle more power. He went off after that. Is he talking about the cables from the power supply or do motheboards have a power limitation I should be worried about?


      I kind of thought they would only pull the power they needed and anything else was just extra potential.
