For the past few years, I've been using a computer Frankensteined together with parts from NewEgg and my ooooooold machine.
My girlfriend is looking at getting me a new machine for my birthday in a couple of months.
I want something that's going to be able to run Ultra Mode at least reasonably well that won't be outdated the minute I buy it. Computer upgrades are a rarity for me, so I'd like to have a system that I won't have to replace in the next couple of years or so.
I'm probably not building this one from scratch. The guy who helped me with my current system is someone I've not seen face to face in about three years, so I'm probably going to go with something off the shelf, with probable upgrades.
So what I'm asking is this: what desktops on the market nowadays would be a solid option for COH in Ultra Mode, from top to bottom, and why? What, overall, would you folks recommend? Are there any out there that would be great buys EXCEPT a minor change or two?
I'm not going to stick to a price range. I'm looking for low/mid/high end. I need to know where things stand, as I know next to nothing regarding PC purchases nowadays.
Long story made short. . . .
