Hey guys,
After using the XP desktop I built myself for an untold number of years now, I am finally at the point I think I'll upgrade to something new. I was considering building my own again, but decided I really don't want to deal with that these days, and was then also considering getting a Windows 7 machine, but from what I am seeing and reading, it's probably only a matter of time before Microsoft sneaks in, buggers my rig, and upgrades it to 10 anyways, regardless of what constant precautions and monitoring I do....so, screw it, I'll just go the Win 10 route and be done with it. I haven't really kept up on what's the best equipment for rigs anymore, so I'd appreciate any input from those of you that know, or have been there recently. I certainly am not looking to get the most expensive, full blown ass kickin machine out there by any means, but something decent that will last me for a while, like my old rig has (will still be using it for XP type games of course). Anyway, I'm looking to spend about US$1,500.00 or so, and as reference was looking at something like this. I'm sure there are better deals/rigs then this this out there, so that's why I am asking for your recommendations or experience. Definitely want a desktop for my main gaming, so laptops are out. Thanks all!
