Been gaming on laptops for the last few years, getting tired of it.
But I haven't even played with desktop specs in over 5 years.
Looking to buy/build a new gaming computer, I don't play anything aside from EVE and old dos games so it doesn't have to be supermegaultra huge.
My spending limit is going to be around $2000
tl;dr gimme your dream computers so I can live your dreams. |

Only $2000 to play EVE is enough in my opinion. IF I must spend more than this to continue playing at optimal performance that would really suck.
I don't need multiple screens. Only one account would be running on said computer. I don't need huge amounts of ram or anything really because I literally do NOTHING on my computer besides EVE, Strife, Descent 1 & 2 and Riven :P
I don't browse websites (unless I'm at work) I don't purchase things, I don't use computers except EVE. Surely $2000 is plenty for a single use computer. |

Ok, I will be engaging in big fleet battles. Monitor/mouse/keyboard are all not included.
I will only be using a single EVE client on said computer, other clients can run on my current comps (I have a lot :/)
I will be living in null, experiencing large blobs etc.
I don't want to pay 1000 extra for flashy lights and an alien decal on it, unless the hardware inside is worth it.
If I must up my budget then I can't get it this week and have to wait til next so no biggie, lets up it to $4000 for the "tower"
again that being said I am just playing 1 client, with probability of large scale battles. I don't want to lag, my net can handle it.
This is just for the tower and stuff inside, not the monitors. I have more than enough monitors because I don't watch TV I just use it currently for my monitor. |

I'll check that out too. I just literally have no memory of computers since I gave up a long time ago. I bought a Dell desktop for like $1000 then gutted it and rebuilt it, then it got stolen like 2m onths after and so I gave up lol. Only thing I mess with lately is RAM because every stock computer comes with **** ram. |

but see, I don't even know what those things are :P
and thus far haven't affected me,
My lil laptop plays EVE with all settings on half/enabled
I guess its time to do my research instead of browse these forums all day at work |

Also, any other good sites aside from Newegg? It seems to only have "build your own bundles'"
something similar to dominos where I can start by picking one thing at a time and not a big bundle that has to be changed lol.
if not I'll figure it out but at a first glance its very cluttered |

gotcha, So I think I got newegg figured out. it seems reasonable. Prices are good etc...
Last question I would normally just google but I enjoy getting suggestions due to the nature of the request (e.g. I want someone who can tell me whats better and not what will make them more money)
but what brands should i stick with, notice a lot of the **** is asus or something and I thought those were mediocre at best
Thanks for sticking with me, I know alot of these questions are annoying. |

ty. Yea thats what I was looking for was preferences.
That way I could search a few but (generally) you find decent reviews on everything but now that I'm biased I'd be more likely to choose a previously named component over another in the case of stalemate reviews/prices etc.
EDIT: omg I thought I started a new thread through some miraculously malicious internet feature
but was just page 2
Hasta luego, bout to head home from work and the taxi driver doesn't go over 55 D: |
