Who's upgrading their system for the ARR (Beta or Release) (Specs?)

[Starlord]

Just looking at it your system isnt that bad. Your system is a bit outdated and xp home is only using 3.5 of your 4 gigs of ram. (is prolly ddr2 ram as well so that is a smidge outdated)

Depends on your budget but i can point you in the right direction. and get you a nicer build, but you said you have never built one so. I dont like prebuilt PC's.

Yeah I tried Pre-built one 3 times and they all broke down.. within a year >.>. So I built my own and it's last me 2.5 years and counting =).

Not all pre-builts are bad. I bought a Gateway in 2010 (for FFXIV lol) that has been reliable ever since, and i've been upgrading it. However I would recommend building instead. A lot of pre-builts are garbage though, but you can find a gem once and awhile.

I just have bad luck when someone else builds it for me :/.

My ex was huge into building computer so he helped me a bit with a limited budget I had back then.
But yeah it's a good 5 or more years old now. It does work OKAY. I can play Skyrim, FFXIV, Sims 3, and other graphics intensive stuff. The biggest problem is that sometimes my computer will randomly shut down while playing games.
With FFXIV it only shut down when I tried to have my browser open at the same time though.
I'm assuming that's from overheating?

I'd love some info if it's not too much trouble. My dad who has offered to buy me a new computer just says he'd buy me a prebuilt one but yeah, I have heard it's better to build your own. I just have NO idea where to start.

My computer would cost too much to upgrade for the time being. Although it has little issue with any games.

I know this is mostly computer stuff but I'm going to be upgrading my PS3 to a 500 GB Classic White Slim.

I just hope that the other PS3 I have (160 GB) won't have any problems with it so I can have my room mate play the game on it. I'm just a bit hesitant because they haven't really released the requirements for the PS3. How many GB are actually needed and if any Playstation 3 console is just fine to run the game. I could be worrying over nothing but I suppose I will find out soon enough in the live letter (hopefully). If there was any information I missed please feel free to share it!

Outside of storage capactiy, consoles of the same type typically don't have any different specs. So should be no issue.

getting a SSD and a second HDD for frapsing, but otherwise i'm pretty well set
