It's kind of crappy to start shaming for a purchase that's already been made. If the machine runs everything fine for your taste, that's what matters. The plan to sell it down the road for a decent price is a good one, just remember to keep it in a good condition, both in terms of the outside as well as the HD and OS. If you can get the 500$ out of it in another year or two, then I'd recommend building a machine for around 1000$, which is the current sweet spot. 11-01-2015, 06:04 AM

Well, hope you enjoy the system. Most games should run fine. Try out Twilight Princess with the speed patch on the latest dev builds and see how it runs. 11-01-2015, 09:16 AM

Alright. We help them. OP then proceeds to ignore our help, demonstrates that they really don't know what they're doing. Yeah. I'm going to laugh a bit. Am I a jerk? Probably. Will OP listen to help that *they specifically asked for* next time? Hopefully. 11-01-2015, 12:55 PM

I must admit that my move might not have been the best. One of the reason behind the move is that I am in Canada, and the build proposed would have been way higher in CAD and it was a bit out of budget. I didn't think that the CPU had a big impact in Dolphin, I thought the GPU would be the most important thing, and as I've seen a lot of 750ti perform really well on Dolphin (Youtube), I thought it was a "smart" move. I might send an email to ASUS to see if they can provide me with a "open box special return autorisation". I do certainly feel a bit shamefull by my move... If you wanna laugh even more, I must admit that I work in IT for more than 15 years, but I don't work with hardware much and I'm a bit outdated on that field... I'm a good IT guy tho, I swear ! I'm a bit impulsive and when I saw that i7 with 750ti, I though, "ho, that seems like a good deal"... but now, I think "ho, I feel retarded... hahaha" 11-01-2015, 09:42 PM

I'm just saying that if someone bought a computer and said that they're happy about how it performed, I wouldn't go there and say "you're wrong for liking it, you should've gone for what I suggested" even though it probably would've been objectively a bit better. I know you didn't say anything close to that and I know you all are just trying to help, but that's just the impression I got from the messages. As for OP, yes they should've probably investigated how Dolphin works beforehand, but hey, I guess you can do it afterwards too :p |
