Cyber Monday Shopping:
I'm at work right now and want to upgrade my motherboard/processor. TWHL is not blocked, but every shopping site is so I can't do any research on my own.
If any of you guys know of any deals going on can you share?
They don't have to be a combo as i'm perfectly capable of assembling them myself I'm budgeting about $400 because i want this to be an upgrade that will last me a long long time.
Hopefully I don't need to worry about compatibility of my ram and videocard, they're both under a year old and I think they'll work with any modern MOBO.
I also have no preference of AMD over Intel..
OR buy a diesel gaming laptop instead like i'm also planning to do today, because you deserve it =)
So i think if i get a new motherboard / processor it won't be the bottleneck anymore.
I have a laptop that plays games decently well. its been a champ Acer Aspire with an i5 and a mobile HD 6600 series video card. can't remember the exacts... but its running like a boss and the only thing i might do is double the ram from 4 to 8gig
my 4-year old laptop(core 2 duo 2.26 ghz, geforce 9800 gts) is also a champ, that still plays the latest games fine, just not on the highest settings. i'm guessing a modern gaming laptop would play anything on high settings no problem.
tjb: i've always wanted to do that too, use one of those cool stainless steel survivor briefcases =)
Now i need a compatible motherboard
So i'm thinking of This Motherboard
And the processor linked above. Any ideas on this?
havent checked tigerdirect yet though...
And I thought Black Friday was Friday the 13th. Or is the name being used everywhere now?
And yeah no, cyber monday is pretty shitty i couldn't find dick for deals on gaming laptops.
