    Default Almighty Computer Wizards, Summon Me A Rig!

    Hey TWC, i need some help with a new pc. I want something thatll be able to run Shogun II and Skyrim flawlessly. Iv had my current pc for like the past 4 or 5 years and it can run shogun II and skyrim but only on med-low settings with low fps. I need your help because im computer illiterate, my current pc is a name brand one and I realize that building your own is much cheaper. my budget is anywhere between 600-800 dollars.

    Not enough mana - we need to know which resolution your monitor is on.

    Resolution's important, and also note that you're better off waiting a few months for something like Ivy Bridge and GTX 6xx and AMD 7xx to finish being released. (Unless you don't care about it being current.)

    New card lines mean two things. It means the next evolution of current cards, whether they be budget, midrange or overkill, come onto the market, which may be slightly better or a lot better than current cards. It also means the old cards end up cheaper, so by waiting for their release you'll either get a better card or a cheaper one.

    In the end, it depends on your situation. If you want a PC here and now, that's possible. If you're prepared to wait a few months, you'll get a better build in the end.

    Hmmmm, then I could probably wait. FOTS will probably put my rig to its limits though what with all the artillery and muskets. Although, could you guys build me a rig just in case I change my mind. Would be much appreciated.

    I was correct, I can run Fall of the Samurai but barely. So now I need a new rig, one capable of easily running Fall of the Samurai on Ultra.

    I don't think there is a computer that can run this game smoothly on Ultra unless Cray builds it BUT with the restrictions in the hardcode, this maybe wishful thinking.

    DiplexHeatedHD begs to differ.....The point is I need you guys to make me a rig that is capable of running Fots on relatively high settings.
