New Computer for FFXIV?

I'm curious as well as to what you purchased (and where ya got it)...having 0 luck finding people who know where I can get a better system myself.

Well if you don't like the idea and/or don't trust yourself building a machine there is always Dell and Sony and Apple etc... I know other people are going to nerd rage because I didn't put down more names but honestly just Google it and you'll find more choices. What you want to look for in any pre-built system though is how good is the PSU, and make sure the GPU is not 4+ years old. Most systems today should come with 4+GB and iCores standard so yeah.

Real men have custom built systems <.<

While building one yourself is going to normally be on par or a bit cheaper, and give you more control over your system specs. Many people are just not willing to try or just fear messing up.

There's some shops that assemble and test the system for you for ~100 bucks. And it will still be cheaper than buying a Sony, Dell, etc. system. The problem is that there's lots of components and the chance of DoA is pretty high with pc hardware. Not everyone has the nerve to debug a broken PSU ^^ The assembly itself is easy.
