The Best Gaming PC Money Can Buy

SlappingOysters writes "Gameplayer has gone live with their best PC hardware configurations for Q3 2008. They've broken it into three tiers depending on the investor's budget. And while the prices are regional, it is comparative across the globe. 'In order to play these slices of gaming goodness, you're going to need a decent rig, and we sent our PC hardware guru in search of maximum frames in maximum detail, but at a minimum cost. We have three tiers for the three levels of PC gamers out there and all the detail you could possibly want on where, why and what to buy. So choose your poison and get amongst it.'"

You don't need to starve, brother. There's a lot of fiber in newspaper and if you flush it down with some coke, you even have the essential dose of caffeine for the day. You can grind and dissolve stale bread in (lots of) water and drink the slurry (again, coke makes things interesting here, too!) to fill your stomach...

Can you tell I just spent 2k on a new monitor system? :)

As a transplanted Floridian, I heartily recommend the palmetto bugs. You can put them on a stick and roast them over an open flame or just fry 'em up in a pan.

Mmmmm....Crunchy.

Up North, I hear you can do much the same with various small rodents.

Yes, an investment in planned obsolescence.

Don't forget, you're talking about the same kind of people who will spend months clacking away on a fake guitar with the goal of making a digital crowd cheer when they could be practicing with a REAL guitar, get REAL cheers and likely get laid for REAL too.

I feel really old right now because I don't understand a single thing you wrote.

They should come up with a set of configurations for the best /.-proof PC servers for 2008 as well.

Funny you should mention that, they're working on Masturbation Hero. You'll get a load out of the controller for that game.

1 GB / $ HD?

Are hard drives down to 1GB per dollar yet? I remember when they hit 1MB per dollar, and it was a big deal at the time. I had an onion tied to my belt...

I can play most of Neil Young's Heart of Gold on real guitar.

That's the kind of risk you take when you decide to learn to play guitar.

In my experience (bass player), girls go in this order - singer, lead guitar, drums, backup guitar, keyboards, triangle, roadie, drunk passed out fan, then bassist. Of course, hideous disfigurations can alter this order.

Re:The investor's budget?

[Tanktalus]

Apparently, it's worth twice as much with a full tank as with an empty one.

What levels are these?

[Sockatume]

We have three tiers for the three levels of PC gamers out there

From the prices I assume those levels are "lives in own property", "lives with parents", and "purely hypothetical".
