Good Gaming Rig?

I don't understand a word of what any of you are saying..... :/

It's ok, it's just one of the perks of being a geek. I find this incredibly cool and fun but several people think I'm crazy.
The worst part is I sometimes think, HOW someone doesn't know something about a computer. But it's actually quite complicated to a lot lol

All I know I know about my computer is that it can run most games on high settings

To a new computer? Because if so, it might be cheaper just to buy a better graphics card than a new computer unless you or a friend/relative have no idea where to even begin

Ok....

 

[Tal_Pal]

Ok....

I just thought I'd let you know because the graphics card controls what games you can play and at what setting. As long as you have at least a quad core and 8 gigs of ram, it'll be cheaper then buying a whole new gaming computer.
thats what I'm trying to do. I'm going to get a new graphics card in a 4ish year old computer. So instead of buying a new $1000 computer ill be spending $100+ on just a new graphics card. (I'm not going to get the best graphics card possible)
