My Battlestation

Sadly that is not the look of my case. If there is one thing I am not happy about it is my case. I have spent way too much on everything else I just couldn't bring myself to spend it on the case. So what is this post about? Well a couple weeks ago when I posted the gear I used I stated I would post the specs of my computer the next week. Then came my rant about RoS beta and I didn't get the chance to post it. Now comes today. Before I post them I just want to say gaming on a PC with a well built one makes all the difference so if you have the extra funds it truly does make a difference. That is not to say spend everything you have to do so, but it does mean saving up for something slightly better is always worth it.

So that's what I run. Cost wise I actually don't want to think about it, but in the end it is worth it as I can pretty much do anything I want PC gaming wise. Really not having to worry if your PC is "good" enough to run certain games is always a plus. Years ago that was something which always was depressing to me so when I could I made it a point for that to never be an issue.
