    How bad is you PC?

    Unless I have missed a lgaringly obvious thread I dont think there is one for the gamers amongst us that have a terrible PC in terms of spec compared to today.

    So here is mine, proudly rocking whats got to be an atleast 5 year old pc that still runs wow decent enough in all honesty.

    But ye, to show how amazingly bad my pc is..
    2.13GHz (Genuine Intel CPU 2140), 3GB RAM + GeForce 9600 GT Nividia graphics card.

    AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 960T Processor, 3000 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s), 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5750

    Not sure what else I'm leaving out or if my computer is even good. I just went to the System Info window and looked for those things. I'll see how MoP runs on release and go for upgrades from there. It was running fine on beta.

    Not surprised you are struggling tbh, that is seriously outdated and way underpowered.
    I would think a new PC is by far the most viable option, because upgrades wise you would be practically replacing most if not all major components anyway.

    If you asked me one month ago, I'd brag about staying in love with gaming on a 5yo "All-around family laptop" that dropped to 2-3 fps in a 10m, 7 if I play melee in a dungeon, and 9 on ranged.

    But I'm borrowing a custom-built from Drunkenvalley atm, so Ultra-High is the name of the game :P Of course, being used to using a craptop for 5 years, I actually don't know what to play first now that I can move on from retrogaming.
    If you add me on Steam, Skype or whatever program/client I share my info for, please write something to identify you in the "Dude/gal wants to join your club"-message. Just so I know that an actual human is on the other end :P

    Haha, i know that feeling. The onboard graphics on this CPU are better than what my last computer had as a discrete GPU.

    80 is fine for a laptop really, mine ran at 90 under load...

    This desktop doesn't really go much further than 55-60 under game load and not over 75 under full load

    Currently running

    AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor, 3.20Ghz
    Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
    4gig DDR3
    Nvidia GTX 560 TI


    Not sure if my PC is good or what tbh, lol.

    I was considering getting a new Processor because apparently mine is a bit old now, and i've got a job now which means I can afford a better one.
