I feel like ive re-entered the adult world. I took some pics of my xbox w 250 hd posted on craigs list and sold it the next day. The reason (and purpose of this thread) is that I am getting my new pc. I just coudnt take the whole console thing anymore. I think it was playing crisis on the console.
I will have delivered tomorrow what I would consider an on the mid-low end of the high end pc genre (please do feel free to correct me as I havent had a desktop in a while) So, liquid cooled case and cpu, i7 2600k, 8gig (up to 34)ram, 1.5 tb hd and I just purchased the nvidia 560ti by zotac.
I have never overclocked a pc for the most part. I used some software to overclock an old pc for a minute or two, got nervous and never did it again. The 2600k, again as many know comes unlocked for this purpose. I guess my lay question is, Is there a significant increase in performance that is wildly noticeable or is the whole overclocking thing just overblown and really for reaching previously unattainable benmarks for a couple seconds that are unsustainable? Ive snooped around some of the overclocker forums and I cant really tell. figured Id start here, get some feedback on my sytem specs and see if I have any bragging rights... From what I can tell Ill be able to play arma 2 (which I have never played and am dying to) and all the others that I have missed out on in the past 6 years. Anyone have any recomendations. Im looking at STALKER, Crisis Warhead, the arma, red orchorestra...I be busy catching up in a coulple years of pc games..
