Im feeling too old for this..

I remember during D2, i could play and farm all day, sleeping only 1-2 hours a day.

The only break i took was toilet break, or walk out from room, make myself a big cup of coffe and jump straight

to the computer again. Even breakfast or dinner i will eat infront of the comp while playing..

On the recent d3 beta, i could only stare at the comp for 3-4 hours.. then i need to get my sleep..

For the next following day i couldnt stand it anymore, and went out to grab a few beers tongue.gif

Guys i need all your help here. I need a new rig to run diablo 3. I have always wanted an Alienware, was browsing the website yesterday

and saw the new Aurora R4. Is the spec sufficient enough to run d3 all with max settings without experiencing any lag at all ? Sorry im really

a total noob in all the specs. Im also aware alienware is overpriced. I just dont have the time and plain lazy to learn and customed my own rig.

Besides im really in love with the casing and all those LED's light. I will be using my rig mostly for surfing the web (FB etc), dowloadings and some

light gaming (D3).

The specs:-

PROCESSOR - Intel® Core™ i7-3820 Processor (10MB Cache) Overclocked up to 4.1Ghz
OPERATING SYSTEM - Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit (English
MEMORY - 4GB (2X2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Memory
HARD DRIVE - 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing
OPTICAL DRIVE - 24X DVD+/-RW with Dual Layer Write Capability
VIDEO CARD - 1.25GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560 Ti
SOUND CARD - Internal High-Definition 7.1 Performance Audio with Waves MAXX Audio Software

PRICE - RM 5,299.001

Besides that they do provide "easy payment" which is another reason why i opt for the alienware.

I was thinking to upgrade the video card and the memory? What do you guys think?

560ti is enough to run diablo 3 at max setting @ 60fps i guess..
u can upgrade the GPU, i'm selling my GTX680, wanna get the GTX680 DCU II

how often do you encounter Lag Spikes during beta bro?
or i didn't encounter at all?

i'm on unifi, during Beta got few times facing lag spikes untill 900-1000ms
fffffuuuuuuuu

Bro, i figure if i were to build a 3-4k custom rig, i might as well top up 1-2k more to get the alienware.

Im too old for hardcore gaming or constantly chasing all the new games out. The rig will mostly be put at home

and treated as another piece of furniture eventually i guess. So i figure if im gonna add another piece of 'furniture' to my home

might as well be a hot and sexy one tongue.gif

Back to the topic, i was thinking to upgrade the ram to this "8GB (4X2GB)1600MHz DDR3 Memory" and the graphic card to

this "2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon™ HD 7870"

ya agree with Walbur.... even old AMD x2 also can run D3 smoothly.... if not mistaken i read from somewhere the D3 dev team said D3 is more on game style not Graphics

I just bought it, changing the graphic card to "Dual 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 555"

Other than getting additional discount, i got a free "D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band USB Adapter", free extend 3 years warranty and

free extend "McAfee® SecurityCenter™ (Multi-Language) - 36 Months " rclxms.gif
