As most of you know, I am the lag queen that plays on potato. BUT THIS IS NO MORE!
For graduation, I got a computer. It came in yesterday so I set it up and such. I have to redownload all my stuff again, but I have 2tb of storage so it's no big deal.
Here's the specs:

And a picture of it after I unboxed it:(http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g149/youtube_2006/2260876aaf542879d91be957a15d5e49_zps6881d9bf.jpg)
When I started it up, it asked what I wanted it to be called. After taking a look at it, I decided to call in HAL 9000

I'm really excited to play and do stuff and not run on ugly graphics anymore!

Uh, I believe it was around 1k, no more than 1.2k and no less than 900
I'm not exactly sure, though, since my dad messed around to get a discount.
It's a present from both my parents and my grandparents, so they probably split the cost.

Sexy as hell. The one thing I don't like about it is the Norton Antivirus it comes with. Dump that and get Microsoft Security Essentials.

I had that on my old computer. I'll probably switch when norton runs out

Should have built it yourself. Could have gotten the same thing for around 700$.

My sister got a $10,000 trip to Ireland for graduating LOL.
Anyways, nice computer, I never liked HP computers myself, they have good printers though.

This.
Would of enabled you to get better than a 640, like the 650ti or 660.
Also, 2x4gb sticks rather than an 8+2gb would be better but hey ho, least you've got a better PC than before!

We aren't exactly computer wizzes. It took a lot of research just to figure out the parts, I think it would have been ten times harder to try and figure out where things go and what is compatible with what. Not that we couldn't do that, but it's a bit of an expensive endeavor to have it screwed up.

Oh I understand that, but don't forget theres many youtube videos and stuff about and could of asked us. But yeah, whatever you were comfortable with and if your fine with it then thats all that matters really.

Is the video card intergrated in the motherboard? If it is, then it won't work if you decide to put a new card.

I honestly don't think that card is integrated. But I can't be sure.
You will want to upgrade the card in the future though. Replacing it with a GTX 660 would be your best bet (Since the PSU is probably cheap and is also low capacity.)

Nice, personally, I wouldn't of gone for a high end processor like the i7 3770 to have a mid/low range GPU. But yeah, nice.

Nice comp, brosef! You'll have good fun with it.

Hey, maybe we can actually play TW now without you crashing every time :P
