Crumpets and tea?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so heres the predicament.

As of right now my laptop is beyond repair and i've extended its life to the limit.
This means I need a new system and well this also gives me te excuse of getting a PC built for gaming purposes.
The problem is I don't know whats best to get. I don't want to go too expensive however I wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction for a PC that will allow me to play games such as Starcraft 2 with ease.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

12 gigs of ram seems like a little much. can you even use that much at once?

Yeah... 64-Bit windows... and no you dont need more then 4-6 really but meh i went a lil overpowered and it does help in performance.

On the boss-scene on Crysis, Wich got memory leak and is the most resource hungry part of the game, i had 62 Constant Stable FPS on VERY HIGH. many people cant play it on LOW due to the memory leak :pirate: my PC trashed the game, Up next Crysis 2
