[exclamatio]

i would argue wether or not that "low" end system was low at all :P

[NoPeace]

Umm... wrong price ranges.
Low = sub $700
Mid = $700-1500
High = $1500-2500
Ultra high = $2500+

NoPeace - out

[exclamatio]

yeah that seems much more realistic

There was no need for this thread as we have a buyers guide already - and i assume tommie 321 spent days drawin the little pictures notating different performance tiers.


any how - i believe tommie321 is way off with the prices and not showing individual prices is also a mistake.

This is not a buyers guide.. It might be interesting for you to read this.
And no I did not spent days with the pictures... :/
