New Computer for FFXIV?

[Equinoxi]

I would not buy that Asus Essentio whatever, if your gonna spend a good 900$ on a system like that I would just buy a custom or build one yourself. You can find some good customs with cyberpowerpc. I got lazy to build one and just order one from them, Customs always nicer than a prebuilt from bestbuy.

Indeed, Custom builds are always going to be better and more effective for your money than the premade crap.

I just would like to thank everyone that helped me out, with the new computer I got I was able to run the game flawlessly on the high settings. You've all been a great help, such a helpful community : )

Also I apologize if this thread caused any sort of drama.

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.

There is where you go to a hardware forum to ask around, in my country there is such a place, and everyday ppl ask and got their question answer, which later on very happy with their setup, the best part is that they learn and soon to be able to help more people

Th3 i|\|73rn3t is a source of knowledge. :3 I've learn a lot thanks to the hardware forums i was always lurking and asking
