@100_Hertz: I see what you're saying and you may be right, but how I look at it is that if you aren't gonna build some absolute monster machine then a solid 30fps at max settings on a game like Crysis 2 is completely acceptable. As for BF3, if it is as well optimized as people are saying then I bet it will perform similarly and even if it doesn't, turning down a few settings will still result in a game that looks better than almost anything out there.
I built a PC in May that has an i5 2500k, 8gb of Ram, and the EVGA 560GTX ti and it runs everything great. Runs Crisis 2 at 1920X1080 Extreme at a solid 30fps, gets as high as 50 sometimes. With everything maxed at dx11 and ultra specs it runs at about 24-28 fps...not great but playable. It should be enough to run BF3 at your resolution easy.
Right now my main champions are Morgana and Malphite. Malph is a great tank if you run in to a bunch of AD champs...not so much if you don't but he can still dish out some good damage. Also lookin forward to playing more Caitlyn when she is free this week.
I just wanted to say thank you for giving me some hope. I am a year away from graduating with a BS in computer science and plan on trying to find a QA job to start my career in the gaming industry. Yes I have always known that it is not at all a glamorous position but for a 21 year old right out of college, entry level jobs in the gaming industry are not easy to come by. To see so many people shit all over the job can sometimes be discouraging but I still believe that it is the best route for me and over the years can lead to a better position in the industry. It is nice to see that it is possible to find a good steady QA job and I thank you for sharing your experience.
Here is my list. Set my budget at $60 so i could try to see how many games I could get for the price of one new one. Once i buy Dirt 2 tomorrow I'll be just under $60. Good sale!
Just got to level 20 a couple days ago and I have finally settled in to using mainly Malphite and Katarina. I'm also considering picking up Caitlyn soon to be my AD carry.
