Depends on how well-optimized it is.

 

I'm pretty sure Clive Barkers Undying caps at 30FPS but it still seems to run smooth to me. 

I mentioned my system was good for emulating PS1, so here's some video I took of it doing so:

Speaking of caps, Final Fantasy XIII on PC is locked at 720p and is a 60 GB download on Steam.

 

I'm impressed.

Apparently it's an almost-direct port of the PS3 version, but with the frame rate cap increased to 60 instead of 30.

If anyone is contemplating a new build, you should be aware of picking out quality power supplies.

 

Quality power supplies like the Diablotek 1050W.

It's so damned good, A-Power rebranded it and put it back on the market as a 1200W.

Mobo and RAM are here! Now I just need the storage, case and PSU and I'm ready to build.

Nice. That's a great brand. I have a pair of Sennheisers myself. Quality stuff ^^

They really are. I'm no audiophile but they provide incredible sound and the cost is definitely justified imo.

Oh yeah, definitely. Out of of all the audiophile brands out there, they're easily one of the more affordable ones.

@@Shoboni, this case seems like a decent option for a case.

Around $20... NZXT Source 210, then?

Hmm... dunno if I like the airflow design or lack of cable management room in a lot of those cases, but then again they're $30 at the most.

Like I said, I don't care if it looks like a dumpster as long it works because I'm going for pure performance for my money and the $50 a cheap case saves can go towards getting a BD drive.

Well, if you feel that a case like that is the best for your money, then go for it.

Yeah yeah, go back to playing on the Dreamcast 2.0. (That would be the Wii U.)

Dreamcast was badass.

 

It had Q3A with keyboard and mouse support.

It was, but I was talking about the fact the system failed in a couple years.

Then again, it was because of how easy to pirate the games thanks to it being based on Windows CE.

Also, Microsoft started their own system... ("With Pentium 3, and Halo. As a matter of fact, forget about the system.")
