New Computer

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I cannot wait to play World of Warcraft again so I bought a Corsair One i160 and Razer Huntsman Elite. I know it’s overkill but it’s super cool :slight_smile: I’ve been playing Warcraft III in preparation :wink:

Now to buy a good gaming chair! Any recommendations?

The quality of Razer products has gone the way of the Dodo ever since they got big. Quality went down, prices went up.

I can’t really build a computer plus I liked what it has inside of it :slight_smile: I use it also for processing astrophotography so I guess it’s not solely for World of Warcraft. I was reading a lot of reviews and it said that to build something like this it would have cost about $500 cheaper. I liked the form factor so that was a big deciding factor.

I just build a new computer myself, and I thought mine was overkill (Although I plan to play other games, like Cyberpunk 2077). Your PC is more in the ball-park of “Nuking it from Orbit” if this is the computer you bought;

You just mad you can’t afford it…:wink:

OP:

Very nice system, I would love to get one for my living room but my next buy is a AWM51 when the new Intel chips drop. I just built a 2950x on a Gigabyte Extreme x399 with a Radeon VII, 32gigs @3200CL14, 2x1TB NVME SSD’s and a sweet 32inch Samsung Freesync 2 monitor that is just an amazing system!

Heh, I guess it depends…I just got their Orbweaver Chroma and I love it! Build quality is great, also have a Naga Mouse I bought last year and its been nothing short of amazing.

Wow nice specs. I wish I could have built my own computer. I’ve never used an Alienware computer but I hear they are super nice. I like the shells that they use. I’m jealous of your SSDs :slight_smile: That is one thing I would actually like to change in the secondary drive of the i160 but for now it suffices.

I bought the Orbweaver a little while back but I can’t use it because my hands are too small :disappointed_relieved: so I will probably try to sell it off or something. Even when I adjust it to the smallest size it’s still to big. It looks built well at least.

IMO, AW is great stuff with amazing support, Dell is pretty great in that area.

Its not for everyone but if someday you choose to try, its pretty easy as long as you take your time and watch videos/read guides. Its really hard to mess up building a computer in today’s age, 20 years ago when we had jumpers for everything and not a lot of stuff online like drivers,etc ,it was a nightmare.

Thanks, it was a dream build for me, not something I just did…once every 10 years I treat myself. :slightly_smiling_face: Wife was mad at the price tag but you only live once!

Gaming chairs are for young men that don’t have to worry about their posture. Get a real chair.

We bought LFGaming chairs, the Stealth version. But had them customized to look (fit in) more with our home office. Removed the LF gaming logos and made the contrast stitching the same color as the rest of the chair, white on white.

Highly recommend them.

I just finished assembling my new rig today. I had to cut some corners to be within budget, but it’ll prob last some good years into the future.

i7-9700K w/ Arctic Cooler Freezer 33, 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz, 500GB Evo 860 SSD, 2TB Seagate storage, Corsair RMx 650+ Gold PSU, MSI Z390-A-Pro MB and a Fractal design Meshify casing.

Saw no need to upgrade my Asus Strix GTX970 4Gb OC ed. GPU for what I am playing and going to play, so kept that.

Looks good and Gratz! That 9700k will last you for years and you can always sell the GPU when you feel its time to upgrade(if you decied to move up in Rez or Hz). Really like Fractal cases, IMO one of the better makers of PC cases.

Aye. Easy to handle while I assembled things. Like the options to hide away wiring and the sealed compartment for the HDD’s and PSU. Really satisfied with that :slight_smile: Got 4 140mm fans as well as it comes.

Nice new system. I can’t have a desktop at all, my 4yr old would destroy it. She’s rambunctious!!!

So I have a laptop. I can put it in the top of my closet for safety lol.

Herman Miller makes the best chairs period: https://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/

They are rather expensive, but so worth the price if you can afford one. They are out of my price range, but I used one when I worked in a call center and literally sat in it for 8 hrs/day 5 days/wk and had no issues whatsoever.

Personally I use a standing desk for playing important content, like raids. Otherwise I just use a big and tall chair (I’m 6’1) from OfficeDepot.

Id recommend upgrading to broadband it will make the game much smoother, and you can get updates faster. At the very least get 2 phone lines in case you get a call.
