Hello everyone ^_^ I am new to the forums and this is my 1st thread.
I been lately out of the PC gaming area for a few years now, just playing my wii, ps3, and 360 but after many years I realized that consoles will always be inferior to computers. Not saying that they suck, I still like them but I cannot stand playing FPS games anymore on my consoles.
I am looking forward to upcoming releases such as StarCraft 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat, Diablo 3, Aliens Versus Predator, Rage, Bioshock 2, DOOM 4, Half-Life 2 Episode 3, Crysis 2, and so on and so forth....
However, I also do 3D CG type of work and planning on perusing a career once I graduate in the game industry or cinematic or wherever I can get a job first, but gaming industry is my goal.
I use Maya 64 bit, ZbRush, Photoshop CS 4, 3ds max 2010 32 bit and 64 bit..
So I need a powerful computer all around for gaming and for 3d work, especially for high polygon count and rendering.
My Bday is coming up in about 2 months, and it's when I am planning to upgrade. I am not sure how much I will be able to spend oh and also I have never built a computer before, so I'll either have a friend do it for me or a computer store.
What is the latest out there right now? Is there anything new in the next two months?
I need a computer that will be able run majority of the newest games on 50-60 fps at maxed out settings and of course also for rendering process.
I am currently on a laptop with a 1600x1200 hd resolution, Blu-ray player, Windows 7 64 bit., 6 gigs of ram, ATI Mobility HD 4650 512mb vRAM, it runs some games pretty good, but not good enough, however I mainly use my laptop for my university/college classes... Costed me exactly $1000 which is in my mind a good deal for a new modern PC laptop as opposed to the crappy Mac Book Pro that is weaker and is a complete rip off...
I want a new built Desktop PC, I haven't upgraded since 2005... and it's really ****ty now lol
What can I do, where should I look? What do you recommend?
I am looking at spending 1 K - 2 K maybe higher...
Thank you all, hope for replies soon!
