If you want a good gaming computer, don't go off and buy it, buy individual parts and put it together yourself (may need someone to help you if you are unsure on how to do it)
I spent $1000 on my computer, which includes $100 speakers, and a $300 monitor, meaning the actual computer cost me $600 to make. A computer in store that was worse than mine was being cold for about $4000, so you can easily see which is better to go with.
If you lived in Australia, and close to me, I could easily help you purchase the parts and make one for you, all you need to tell me is what sort of computer you would prefer. My motherboard was meant to have 6 ram stick slots, but they just sold out, so I went for the better one, yet with only 2 ram stick slots (kicking myself over that) so at the moment, I have 16GB of ram.
I used to use my laptop, but it started overheating so I got my computer. It kind of sucks cause I've lent out my sims games in the past, and I have now used up the 5 computer installations that I was allowed :c
Well, i'm out here in Texas, so I don't think I can call you up haha. Yeah I know nothing about computers anymore. I used to know everything- computers and the internet starting getting big as I hit high school. But in the past few years things have just gotten out of hand with technology.
It still works pretty ok. If I can save the money, I might either get a second laptop for regular stuff (internet, pictures, documents, etc.) or a something with a shit ton of memory (lap or desk) for strictly games. But for now it's working alright.
If you're good with computers, you might be able to answer a few questions-
1- I record with the in-game video tool in The Sims 3, but there is no sound. Did I mess something up or is that how it is?
2- If that's just how it is, is there a way to record myself playing with an outside program? (I don't need to record everything, just random little things like i've posted)
If you can help with either of those that would be awesome. If not, that's cool. :)
