Ok, so I've been looking around for a gaming computer for around $2,000 and I came up with this one.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227434

Asus P9X79 Pro

Intel i7 3930k (3.2Ghz)

16GB DDR3 1600 Ram

120GB Corsair Force Series SSD

2TB HD

EVGA Geforce GTX 680

Liquid Cooled CPU

All under $2300.00

Of course, I could buy components and build it myself, but try buying the components in this rig for less than the cost of the computer as speced out. I can't find them any cheaper, in fact, I am hundreds of dollars more when I try.

So, I haven't heard great things about iBuyPower, but I haven't heard aweful things either.

Can anyone here take a look at that computer and tell me what you think?

Forza Horizon will be in my Xbox and NFS MW will more than likely find it's way on to my computer when it is on sale on Steam.

The original run of the mono mix was supposed to be really rare.

Dungeon Fighter HD.

I have rarely regretted purchasing a game. I don't even know why I bought that one. I was hoping it would be fun to play with my wife, but we both got bored of it almost instantly.

How long before Jeff gets fired from CBSi again and we start the process all over again?

Are you planning to upgrade to Windows 8? If so, here are me thoughts:

Make user your motherboard supports UEFI, not just BIOS, this will make booting faster and more "secure" (You can still load other OSes if you want, despite what others might tell you)

Also, the SSD makes a lot of sense and will more than likely speed up your computer more than anything else.

Get a touch screen monitor. With Windows 8, this will make a LOT of sense.

I would actually reccomend waiting about 6 months from now to make upgrades because I think some hardware manufacturers are holding back things for when Windows 8 ships.

So, I played through the demo 3 times (once for each class) and thought it seemed interesting enough to buy. This was before the Quick Look. I have now played about 5 hours or so and this game has a couple big problems.

1 You have to play every level at least 3 times. There are 3 difficulties and you play each level on Novice, then Expert, then Master. You return to the town to accept new missions between and buy and upgrade gear, but you will be returning to the same exact level 3 times.

2. The enemies are too slow and stupid. No matter how many enemies I am fighting, I don't get overwhelmed because the enemies just stand around until you engage them. This makes the game way too easy.

3. Finger fatigue. You wind up pressing the X button a whole lot of times because the special moves are completely not useful or needed.

In short, if I could have my $10 back, I would take it.

@DeF: I'm with you. Whether you like what she does or not, you can't say she doesn't do anything. The Guild is a well written show that resonates with a lot of people. Just look at the number of views of any episode and you can see that there are a number of people who are attached to that show.

Sexism is pretty terrible. You guys out there saying she is just doing what she is doing because she is an attractive woman have completely missed the point that she actually WROTE, PRODUCED, DIRECTED, and PROMOTED her own show from nothing to the juggernaut that is The Guild. You do better, then talk.
