So, since companies are doing online Black Friday stuff, I decided to take part in the Black Friday craze (online only) for the first time in my life. As some of you CS:S players know, I've had to play on an older laptop for quite some time, as I haven't had a desktop or gaming PC in years. Here's what my new baby consists of:
*BASE_PRICE: [+895]
CAS: Raidmax Viper w/ USB 3.0, Side Window Panel [-6] (Black Color)
CD: 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR)
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz Six-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology [-46]
HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
HEADSET: ZALMAN ZM-HPS200 GAMING HEADSET [+0]
KEYBOARD: (Keyboard & Mouse Combo) Cooler Master Storm Devastator Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo [+0]
MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1866MHz Dual Channel Memory [-59] (ADATA XPG V2)
MOTHERBOARD: * ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 ATX w/ GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 2 PCI [-8]
POWERSUPPLY: 600 Watts - Corsair CX600 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply [+17]
VIDEO: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card [+131] (* EVGA Superclocked ACX Cooling)
I already have a 22" widescreen flat LCD monitor to use with it. As you can see, I dumped quite a bit into upgrading my video card. According to that website, this setup will get about 100fps on StarCraft II on Ultra and nearly 90fps on Bioshock Infinite on Very High (both at 1900x1200). It cost me $857 but I got some free upgrades and gear as you can see, free shipping, a couple of free games, and $40 in mail-in rebates for icing on the cake!
