| How much is my rig worth. Built it myself a while ago with some advice from a mate on parts. But I don't really know what it's worth now and I may sell it in the near future to get a laptop. If you can give me a rough idea of what it's worth I'd appreciate it! It's all in perfect working order. TOWER CPU - E6600 OC@3.3Ghz with Sonic Tower cooler + 2 120mm fans MOBO - GA-965P-DS4 RAM - 4GB (2x2) Geil 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 PSU - Enermax 525 Modu 82+ GPU - EVGA GTX 260 (216) Superclocked HD - 2x80 GB Samsung SP in RAID 0. 2x750 GB Hitachi Deskstar DVD+-R - Emprex Case - Akasa Zen Fan controller - ZALMAN ZM-MFC1 Plus Floppy VISTA 64 Bit DESK Monitor - Samsung 22'' SnyncMaster 226cw Keyboard - Saiteck - Eclipse 1 Mouse + Pad - Logitech MX518 + SS steel series Speakers - Logitech 5.1 Surround ... not sure of the model. |

| Personally £400-£500 for the rig and £600-£700 for the complete bundle.

By the way I would keep the build and keep upgrading, beleive me a laptop won't even net you half the performance even for double the price. Only sell if you intend to build another rig otherwise keep it. My System: xX_TeK_GaMeR_Xx

| Thanks for this. Virtually the only game I enjoy that's really graphically demanding is BF2. Also - I more use the computer for music and media, and so it would be handy to have it portable. Do you think I could get a laptop for £600 that could play BF2 well. - I know it won't match a GTX260... but above 50fps shall we say. GTX260 is massive overkill for BF2 anyway! Let me know what you think. And possibly suggestions for a suitable laptop? |

| Any game really requires at least 60FPS to be deemed playable, but now you'v said that your reasoning is fair so i suppose you could get a laptop however choosing the laptop is personal to the consumer so I can't really help you there but I will have a look for you. There are a lot of options so start researching and don't forget to ask here before you buy it. After looking arround they are quite expensive, even for crap 8600gt's (£900+), honestly I would keep it, you will regret selling the P.C. Also it is going to be a lot harder playing FPS games using a touchpad. |

| Well I would carry a mouse... I don't think anyone's going to get very far on BF2 with a touchpad! lol Well I'll keep it for now... and see if I could get a payment plan on a lappy of some description. Cheers |

| PS- I thought that 60Fps was like the point that a human cannot detect any further increase in fps. - I was told that below 30fps becomes unplayable.. but that 50fps is not too bad at all, and perfectly playable. I tried crysis on this computer... and it was fun for a while... but didn't enjoy the game play and the fps dropped too low in places (even with the GTX260!). I think it was dropping into the 30-40 fps range... |

Crysis is actually a good game bar the gameplay. You could keep your P.C and buy a new laptop just for music and stuff for £300, obviously you would need to save up but it's christmas soon  |

| Crysis is actually a good game bar the gameplay - Not meaning to be rude here... but - Exactly. BF2 is so far behind in graphics... but the game play is just so so so good! Obviously very similar to 2142, but I prefer BF2. There's never been a game like it since... and I really really hope one day a BF3 will be made. Anyway. . . I think the advice has been helpful - I will wait and save for a laptop that I can use for music and media on the go. Just wouldn't get back enough of what i spent on it if I sold it. - But isn't that always the way eh!? Cheers guys. |
