FS: Gaming PCs

computer for streaming

Hello,

Trying to see if i can get a quote for a computer, that I would only use for music and streaming tv and movies.
 
I got my PC from Die Hard on Thursday.

Runs like a boss. I was playing Star Citizen dog fighting module thing and it didn't skip once on Ultra settings.

Same with Battlefield 4 (campaign). I haven't played multiplayer yet. That campaign is a joke as far as glitches go. Holy shit some pretty funny level stopping moments.

System specs...

Die Hard is easy to work with and is probably better than most assembly line PC companies out there. He also wouldn't install the 3 TB HDD because it made a funny noise so he put in 1 TB and 2 TB to make up for it. Thanks bra.

I got my new machine from Die Hard on Friday (October 24). He was very communicative during the entire process and helped to shape my build. In the end, I wound up buying one of his pre-made machines (below). I asked that he add a 1Tb drive as a secondary drive and the system actually came with a 630 watt power supply.

The machine is a definitely solid. I've not really pushed it gaming yet, but I've been doing other multimedia tasks that it's handled exceptionally well. The machine also runs very quiet which is nice considering its in the master bedroom.

Adding another positive review. We had a couple minor hiccups (e.g. wifi antenna forgot to be shipped) but everything was resolved to my satisfaction.

I literally just pulled computer out of the box, screwed in the video card, and plugged in accessories. It was up and running in 5 minutes.

Thanks Die Hard!
