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

[Faiyez]

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K OC'd to 4.5 GHz
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
GPU: MSI GTX 680 2GB
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB DDR3
SSD: Samsung 830 128GB + Samsung 470 128GB

Not upgrading, I'll probably upgrade next once the consoles get established and PC high end benchmarks move as a result.

No idea how one would think one thing is supposed to affect the other at this point.

Yeah I kinda went a bit overboard XD

Around 1500, I bought mine over a year ago.

EDIT: Also, that's not overboard, close but not quite.

I just bought the snake bite controller too. Doesn't seem to brake apart yet. The only thing that might be uncomfortable is press the L2 and R2.

Make sure you install the drivers ahead of time. I heard the controller has problems if you don't install the drivers. The nice thing about the controller is that you can assign double the amount of features because of the function button. So macros are now possible! http://www.snakebyte-europe.com/en/c...oller/11472/2/
