Hey,Im Finally looking around for a new computer,Considering im using an Acer Extensa 5620z with a 1.60GHz And 2GB Ram,And I was wondering what people generally use,Considering im a lazy son of a ***** building a computer is unlikely.

So,What Do You Use To Play EVE And Do you have a suggestion?

Cheers

I use grammar and correct punctuation.

EDIT: I don't overuse the word "considering".

A pile of junk, disguised as a working computer.

Held together with duct tape, leverage, and hope. The power switch needs to be un-taped and re-soldered, and the insulation on the switch itself rearranging.

Best place for a new pc would be Newegg.com Blink

oh, so you got the "Minmatar" themed PC Cool

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

EVE doesn't take that much to run, I can still use a 5 year old computer and still get it to work on max settings without a problem. A good internet connection is more important tbh.

If you want to play something like Skyrim on max settings, just buy something from alienware or use their systems as a benchmark.

While I Agree With You There,I have Used a more powerful machine in the past only it was taken to be used as something else.So the chances of it coming back are slim.But,If you see something beautiful[EVE As an Example] you want to see it again.This Thing just dont cut it

Actually, the most important component for gaming these days is the GPU. As long as the CPU doesn't bottleneck the GPU, you can continue to run your system in perpetuity. Once the CPU bottlenecks the GPU, no GPU upgrade will help you.

The likelihood this will happen to you these days is pretty rare. I've only run into it once. And that was due to me trying to extend the life of a 7 year old computer with a GPU upgrade.

Don't ban me, bro!

PC 1:

-Intel i7 920 @ 3.6 Ghz
-Corsair H60
-EVGA X58 SLI
-12GB 1600mhz Patriot memory
-EVGA GTX 260
-2x 1TB WD drives in RAID
-standard dell peripherals, cheap ASUS 1920x1200 TN monitor

PC 2 (main box for EVE):

-Intel i7 930 @ 4.0 Ghz
-Corsair A70
-ASUS P6X58D-E PRO
-6GB 1600mhz Corsair Dominator memory
-2x EVGA GTX 460 in SLI
-120GB Corsair Force GT
-About 3TB of other hard disk storage
-2x Dell U2412M (1920x1200 IPS)
-Logitech keyboard and mouse

Both of these pc's run 3 eve clients on low detail fairly easily, the first one has more trouble when settings are turned up but it can still run pretty much any modern PC game at high settings without a problem
