sigh. I really want Expeditions Conquistador for that $5 price it was showing as a community vote. That was one of the few games I had on my list that I wanted to get during this sale if it was 66+% off 

Instead for flash deals we 3 repeats. At least the F2P game is a new offer.

I put $1000 into my first build about a year ago and can run pretty much any game on high and many on Ultra. It doesn't have to be very expensive to get some incredible performance out of a build. Very worth it though

I put around $1200 into that custom-built PC that we (me and my dad) mainly built so I could start off w/ The Witcher 2 PC (on week of release).

I bought most of my parts piece-by-piece here and there, over the course of watching sales & waiting for them - over a course of 5 months or so.

conquistador's been on my wishlist since it came out, that community vote gave me such high hopes it would hit the 5$ mark

That's what I did with my desktop. Picked up a few parts during NewEgg's black friday, then a few more at Christmas, and then finished with a trip to Microcenter. Absolutely love it, already itching to do some upgrades, but I know I should wait longer. Better things to spend money on and what not

 
Just have to say, having played Euro Truck Simulator 2 for like, four hours straight last night, it's awesome.

Best simulator game I've ever played. It's really realistic and difficult, but it's remarkably well done and there's a lot to it. If JakeNome still has copies for $4.5, I'd buy that shit up if I were you.

I don't care if the game isn't in the top 1000. At least it was a new deal and not a repeat unlike the other 3 plus the 3 community votes.

Also, using the top 100 is LOL worthy during a sale like this. If it hasn't been on the front page and isn't a real popular new or upcoming game chances are it isn't on that list.

 
I gave up on the diy pc's.  Used to build em all the time back in the day but after a while you just get tired of it.  At this point theres almost no price difference between going to a run of the mill custom shop like cyberpowerpc especially if you catch them at a sale time, and doing it yourself.  So thats what I did 2 years ago when I built this rig, and that was ~1100

That being said its a 2 year old rig and can still run every new game Ive tried on it with the top settings, the only thing Ive upgraded on it was to go to 16gb ram (for audio production purposes), and swapping out the ati gfx for nvidia since ati's multi-monitor support sucks ass. One ~1000$ investment goes a long long way these days, i remember when that would barely last you a year

RCR has NOT been Humble Bundled, Groupee'd, or any of that stuff yet, right?

Not really. A week or two ago before the Summer Sale we saw it at 66% iirc but that community vote would have made it 80% which would have been the cheapest it has been and it hasn't been a daily or flash sale yet.

It actually works out for the best if this laptop can't run those things.

I don't have the extra time for even MORE games.

That older stuff like Baldur's Gate and Planescape I've already played through.

 
building a PC is easy as fuck

literally everything just snaps together, and you have to run some wires. i built my first one a few months ago and just used a youtube tutorial. getting a decent case will make it a lot easier. i spent a little over 1k for this rig. microcenter will save you hundreds.

Yeah, you go ahead and keep telling yourself that. ;)

You're missing out on some really good PC exclusives (like TSW; Torchlight 2; Vampire: Bloodlines; etc);

PC games that are known to have much better ports for the PC version (Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Ab, BF3, DE:HR, JC2);

and PC games w/ mod support (see Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim).

I don't have the extra time for even MORE games.

Simple solution: Sell all of your consoles and games, buy/build a computer, join the realm of superior graphics, framerates, mods, sale prices, etc.

Consoles are so five minutes ago.

Thank god you posted this. I'm trying to research a new mobo and cpu and have no idea where to start. I have a 1st gen i7 and hate wading through charts and benchmarks. BTW the Samsung 840 pro, what helped you pick that? I saw it had high read/write but some gaming stats were a bit lower than others like the OCX vertex4.

 
And give up console exclusives? I don't think so. :p

Yeah building a desktop is really not that bad, and I kind of like doing it myself even though I looked into iBuyPower and CyberPowerPC. I just got myself a cheapo Asus laptop around $550 and spent $900 on a desktop. Gaming laptops aren't for me being how pricey they are for the performance, but I can certainly understand the market for them.

I went with the 840 pro because amazon had a good sale on them a while back and it had good reviews. I have zero complaints with it, Also i definitely recommend that you get your mobo/ processor at Microcenter. They had the processor $100 cheaper than everywhere else and give you $40 off the mobo if you buy them together. Overall it's a pretty sweet setup and would recommend any of those components.

Over a repeat? Yes, yes I would. Just because something isn't my taste doesn't make it a bad deal.

Also just because you own something that is a deal doesn't make it a bad sale/deal either. (not towards you)

I agree with those premises... but 50% off F2P DLC is a bad deal. ;)

So long as you pick the right parts. eg: Make sure the CPU and motherboard have matching sockets, that you don't get an ATX motherboard and an mATX case, and that any aftermarket cooler you get will actually fit in the case.

Also totally agree with the decent case comment. The choice of case can make a huge difference to how easy (or hard) a build is. My last build was harder than the last two because I went with a fairly small case (a TJ08-e) which didn't give me much room to fiddle with things.

Normally I'd agree. But it has only been out a few months and this is the first time it has been on sale. So I can't really complain about it. The Star Trek Online flash deal a couple of days back that was 50% off ? Now that was a bad deal. But at least it was something new even if crappy in those regards lol

 
Mooby said:
So they put up a flash sale for a F2P game's DLC versus Conquistador? F Valve. Absurd.
Click to expand...
That's the game I wanted most during this sale at 75% off. Of course, it came in last place during the community vote. At least I got another game in my top 5 for this sale (Risen 1) during that same vote at 75% off...

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised the last two days of the sale?

Here's a website I used to help build my PC:

http://pcpartpicker.com/

It tells you if your parts are compatible and if they all fit, also has a pretty nice price tracker.

Some advice.
For PC gaming, ALWAYS avoid Intel's (cheap) Celeron processors and any of those integrated video cards.

If you are going to be PC gaming, you're honestly best off building your own PC yourself or having a nerd-friend help you build one for you/with you.

2nd best thing you can do is spend likely double over the above - and just go to your local mom & pop custom-build PC shop and tell them you want a gaming rig.
This (2nd best option) is what I did until 2 years ago, when me and dad went and decided to take on the task of building (at that time) a monster rig.

EDIT:
Curious of my current custom PC specs are?

Case -> Cooler Master 932
Watt Supply -> 800 Watts - Corsair Gaming Series
OS -> Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM
Motherboard -> Socket 1366 ASUS Sabertooth X58 motherboard (for 2 SLI allowed on video cards).

RAM -> 8 GB worth of Corsair DDR3 1600 XMS3
Optical Drives -> TWO Sony Scribe DVD-Burners
Internal Hard Drive(s) -> TWO Western Digital Black Caviar 1 TB with 64MB cache & 7200 RPM
[for 2 TB of HDD space in total]
Video Card -> EVGA 1GB GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
Monitor -> HP 2311x 23'' monitor.

This rigs runs MANY of my games at 1080p for 1920x1080 - usually at at least medium settings.
Often, it's above "medium" - and/or maybe even maxed-out.
Depends on the game.

Depending on who you are, it's really not as intimidating as it smells these days.

My brah walked me through a build in 25 minutes via touch-tone phone once -- that's the other-dude option.

Reading the manuals and/or more streamlined directions from the internet is another way. I've tried that too but you need patience if you haven't done it before.

Mom and Pop shops around the way be trippin'. MA can get da cock doe and I think PA is a C.I. bitch snitch.

It actually works out for the best if this laptop can't run those things.
I don't have the extra time for even MORE games.

That older stuff like Baldur's Gate and Planescape I've already played through.

If you change your mind I can post a big-azz list of decent or better easy-runners. Post the laptop info also.

Surely, this is true.

IMHO, I really ain't hit that point where games are kicking me badly in the face performance-wise; or I'm not meeting system requirements to even boot a game.

Usually, takes me a few new card generation model numbers (looking at the leading numbers, that is) before I even want to swap a vid card out.
I'm an Nvidia guy - I have a 560 Ti, so I am not really looking right now for a 600 series or even 700 series card.

I suspect when the new consoles drop and have those been around a bit; and when these games really might do more w/ pushing more graphical bells & whistles, I might even start thinking of throwing a new vid card & some more RAM in there.

EDIT:
My big backlog probably ain't helping matters here w/ wanting new hardware, either. ;)
