LostInReverie Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's worth it if you want better gaming performance, which you'll get with a newer PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopreme Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 which one would be the better buy, and have some longativity. don't really want to upgrade in a month or 2 after buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfius Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 My bet is on this: Intel® Core™ i5-3350 processor 8Gb DDR3 RAM 1Tb Hard Drive DVDRW Drive AMD HD7770 graphics USB 2.0, USB 3.0, HDMI Microsoft Windows 8 Home Premium Acer Aspire Predator G3 Base Unit 2 MB more CPU cache, better CPU overall (AMD got sloppy with their last series in front of Ivy bridge Intel ones), better video. Better CPU in MMO = better game-play in character loaded areas... better video is a must in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostInReverie Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think the second one will give you better performance. I'm not as familiar with AMD processors. I have an i7, and it performs great so I'd recommend Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegoman Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Second one by a long shot. Right now there is no reason to get a pc with an AMD processor over an Intel one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalihoJ Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Good luck with that mate! I recently upgraded and have gone from 15 - 20 fps on minimum setting to 80 (ish) fps on maxed out settings and I have to say it is like playing a different game. Enjoy your new PC and your new game lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
