    Default Humvees super computer

    Hey, recently I got a part time job working at a gas station (pfft don't laugh), and some of the money im saving up to buy an amazing computer.


    I am wondering if you guys can help me with the specs for a new gaming computer that can last me for the next 2 or 3 years.

    Let's just hope they were fascist communist kittens who were on their way to international fascist communist fair.

    I won't go into details because you have no budget and havent specified exactly what you want it to do, but if your lookign at a system that will function for the next few years your system will need to compromise of the following:

    A DX10 card - 8800GTS/X or similer
    2-4 GB of DDR2 6400 RAM
    A Core 2 Duo E6400 and up

    Be more specific about how much you want to spend and we can elaborate.
    A Good PC can vary widely between £750-£2500
