hey all,
Just bought my first gaming PC last week, an R4 with a Geforce 780 and I have but one thing to say...JESUSHEFFINGCHHRIST!
I picked up both a PS4 and Xbox One at launch and to be honest, I was really underwhelmed. Not that they're bad boxes by any means, but after 7 years, you want to be wowed, yunno?
So that being said (and after reading time and time again that PC gaming was the way of the Gods), I decided to look into a dedicated gaming PC. At first I was thinking about building, but after pricing it out, I realized the cost savings was meh, at best. So then I started looking at custom builders and Alienware came up time and time again, although I have come to realize there are more than a few haters out there.
Anyhoo, long story short, have had it set up now just about a week and I absolutely love it. Thus far, I've picked up FC3, Metro LL, Splinter cell BL, Hitman Absolution and Crysis 3 and spent just about the same amount as I would for ONE new console game! And they all look delish running at Ultra settings. Only problem now is that I want to upgrade the TV I play on (A sharp 70 inch) to something in a 4K variety to really up the stakes...
Got lots of advice from the people on the forum and I'm happy to be here!
