does a good computer make or break a player?

Trackpad is easier, please.

Maybe a Mac trackpad. Maybe. Although I hold trackpad users in high respect because of the fact that I simply am terrible on a trackpad.

Sometimes you get worse when you get a computer that gets better fps

For example, Agilities .

I have a friend who averages at 150 FPS (and complains about getting a smooth 80...) and he's still awful at pvp xD

When I first started MCSG, I used a 4 year old Macbook computer. I didn't get good frames at all, maybe an average of around 20-30, but I still considered myself a good player at the time (waywayway better than I am now). I had about 50 wins out of maybe 200, which I guess isn't terrible, considering my ratio nowadays. Then I got an even worse computer and got around 10 frames every game, and my skill level completely dropped to the lowest it could get. I was terrible, and then when I got my new computer recently I got around 50 frames and I got a bit better. So I guess it could, yeah. Low frames definitely make it hard to play, but if you're used to getting lower frames then it's not as bad, compared to someone who started out with a great computer and downgraded to a crappy one.

Why would you get a WORSE computer...?

Long story. My macbook kinda broke because I threw it on the ground, and I needed a new computer anyways, but I didn't know that we lacked the money, so my grandma gave me her computer, which was even worse.
^wasn't even a long story >_>

Anyway, back on topic.

I would play on 60 fps. I then spent 6 months saving up for an Alienware M14X with I7-2670QM, I started getting 500, I went from 100 wins to 300 in triple the time.

Your monitor can probably only display 60 Fps though, 120 at max. Getting 500 actually looks choppier because playing a game at a higher framerate than your monitor's refresh rate causes tearing. Technically, you should be better playing with 60 Fps than 70+ Fps.

never been higher than 60fps on any settings :'(

You just need to turn on VSYNC if it causes tearing

Vsync is not a desirable option to turn on if one is playing games requiring accurate and quick mouse movements. Enabling Vsync will introduce mouse input lag, causing movement/look to feel delayed or lagged.
