Answer
i would probably say yes if you like to play games on your PC and if your still not sure look on other websites to see other prices of the computer

Suggest me a good gaming desktop around- $750<?




Spencer`


I'm lloking for a desktop that I can run my games on (GTA4 etc..)


Answer
Agree with the first comment, always build your own gaming PC, unless you find a good deal on pre-built PC. Here's the link to couple of decent gaming computers for under $700.

AMD: http://budget-gaming-computers.com/build-gaming-pc-700-august-2012-amd02.html

Intel : http://budget-gaming-computers.com/build-gaming-pc-700-august-2012-intel02.html

Both PCs are capable of running new games at medium to high settings.

Call of Duty contract with Microsoft ending?

So for black ops 2, the new revolution map pack comes out Jan. 29th. I saw it said on Xbox live first but I thought the contract with Microsoft ended at the end of 2012. I thought that's why ps3 hasn't gotten nuketown zombies yet and Xbox has. But since this is coming in 2013 shouldn't ps3, Xbox, and pc come out at the same time? Did Microsoft renew the contract?


Answer
since this game was released in 2012 even if the contract for time limited exclusives ended Microsoft will sill have exclusives for all dlc the game gets , and microsoft is in talks to extend their exclusivity so nothing will change while the lawyers are still negotiating anyway .
They have not renewed the contract for time limited exclusivity yet but it will not matter for a game that was included in the old contract anyway , the terms I understood included the games release date not the dlc release dates .

The only way that activison won't renew is if they can't get their asking price from Microsoft or if another company like Sony or Nintendo steps up and offers a better deal so I doubt it will not be renewed , but there is actually a good thing about having a 30 day wait , if there is any glitches in the dlc that are game breaking they get patched before the ps3 release so only xbox360 players get bad dlc .

Are these computer specs good for games from minecraft to crysis 3?

Answer
It's great for most games up to the Skyrim/Arma II level. Your performance comes down to the graphics card, since everything else is top notch.

The Radeon HD 7850 can play Battlefield 3 on high settings smoothly, or ultra with a few details turned down (like FXAA instead of MSAA). But to play BF3 on ultra at 1080p without having to reduce any details, the 7850 isn't enough. You need to go a step higher, to the Radeon HD 7870 or GeForce GTX 660. With either of those you could run anything on ultra/max settings except Crysis 3, which would run fine on high settings.

If you can spend $250 on your GPU, the best deal currently is the Radeon HD 7870 LE (otherwise known as the PCS+ Myst Edition or Jokercard), which is a really a 7900 series card in 7800 series clothing. It performs on-par with $300 models like the GeForce GTX 660 Ti and Radeon HD 7950.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131484

Performance:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/tahiti-le-7870-7930-benchmark,3401-3.html
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Club_3D/HD_7870_jokerCard_Tahiti_LE/8.html

But even $300 cards aren't enough to max out Crysis 3. The recommended level cards to play Crysis 3 on ultra are the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7970. So Crysis 3 is fundamentally in a different class from any other game in existence.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Crytek-Crysis-3-Keplar-FPS-Melting-PC,16928.html
http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/03/crysis-3s-system-specs/

So with a $220-$250 graphics card your computer would be good for anything up to Crysis 3, although that specific title wouldn't be running anywhere near maxed.

How can I increaase the affection in my relationship?

best gaming pc deals 2012 image



Cheryl


My husband and I have been together 5 yrs. We have never had sex more than once a week, but lately it has decreased to once a month. I keep trying to talk to him about why he isnt interested in sex with me, but he does not give me any answer other than he will when he is ready. He will not give me the "real" reason there is no intimacy in our lives we were having a great deal of problems in 2012 and nearly separated but all the sudden our sex life has just stopped. he will kiss me before he leaves for work every morning, the texts me to tell me he made it. then on lunch break he will text me to see how my work day is going and then when we get home we barely talk. It is so weird and it is weighing on me. before christmas he said he was leaving after the holidays. Now when I asked what his plans are, he says "we're good". He has been home at night and weekends for 3 weekends straight. no time with the guys so I dont think he is cheating, but I dont understand what is going on. I keep trying to talk about it but I am getting nothing in return. What do I do now? Do I let it go and see what happens or what? I am starting to feel really ugly, disgusting, and unwanted. its an awful feeling. I told him I dont care how much it may hurt my feelings I just want to know why he doesnt want sex so I can understand. and again no response. Please give me suggestions please. I am getting very depressed even the girls at work have asked if I am ok


Answer
I can't tell if the sex issue came as a consequence of the way your marriage works...or if the desire from his side is simply not there. I am not a sexual person either....it's not because I don't love my boyfriend, my body just doesn't feel the need to have sex.

While I agree that communication is extremly important ... it is something that women are good at, not men..so they might not like the ideea of being pressed constantly to talk and give speeches about how they feel like. I did this with my boyfriend (just like your husband he seemed very cold sometimes but he was home with me all the time when we weren't at work so I'm sure he wasn't cheating on me) and he was very irritated by the fact that I am complaining about "things not working" because from his point of view we "were good" :).
He asked me "what more do I want from him because he is giving me everything he has...he never leaves anywhere without me, he is home every night, he doesn't spend money with friends/alcohol/women, etc..."...and this question really striked me because I felt he is right.

Men are monotasking, for ex my bf loves playing games on the pc and he could stay there for hours without saying a word to me and without realizing it; he doesn't do it to piss me off, he simply gets very involved in what he does; same with the tv..if it's turned on he remains petrified in front of him no matter what it's on (commercials,movies) and enters in a trance mode:)

Women are more sensitive,sentimentals... and even though we both end up losing the emotions given by kisses/love nights/etc...they usually lose it faster than us..but it's not something they can control, it simply happens; this doesn't mean you should end your relationship;
I accepted that and now I go with the flow and things started to be very bright for us.

He doesn't feel any pressure from my side anymore and I feel much more relaxed now that I stopped thinking each time he starts doing something that he ignores me on purpose because he doesn't love me.

I am not saying that I am right in your case, i tried to explain a POSSIBLE reason;

And if you have time for this and you don't already know it , the differences between us and them are presented here in a funny and cute way.

Which 2012 RPG for Xbox 360 should I buy?




~!Z@W@#R@!


So a local video game store has a 2 for 1 deal on used games on I'm definitely looking to bag a few quality RPGs I can delve some serious hours into. I know for a fact I want Borderlands 2, because I loved the first game. The second game I'm looking at is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Any other suggestions?


Answer
Mass Effect 3 -
Mass Effect is a very heavy story game. You get to really step into the shoes of Commander Shepard and make choices that can lead to the deaths of your team mates. It was a good game but, only worth playing for the story if you played mass effect 1 and 2. If you haven't I'd still recommend them, you can find them cheap.

Kingdoms of Amalur -
A surprisingly fun RPG. I didn't have high hopes for this game. A new company, new title. But, I loved this game. I know a lot of people say it's an "ok game" but, I loved it. The combat is fluent and easy, and, the quick time death sequences of bosses is very fun. Speaking of bosses, the last boss fight is awesome. The only problem I found with the game was that it is extremely easy.

These were my top 2 RPGs of 2012 for 360. Other great RPGs for PC are Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3( my least favorite RPG of 2012 but still fun)

I would get Kingdoms of Amalur if you haven't played Mass Effect 1 and 2. If you have you should play Mass effect 3

Is there a PC game to just destroy?




Ike


I want a game where there are buildings and environment, and I can just destroy it all. Not like Minecraft, because I'm too lazy to make a town.


Answer
10 years or so to this day, there was a game release which might interest you to a certain degree, it came out on various gaming consoles as well as PC. And even though it is 2012, there are some newer revised versions with story continuations to boot.

This game is Red Faction. A first person shooter that allowed you to destroy your environment around you.

An example would be, say that you didn't have a key to enter a door way... well what can you do; go back and retrace your steps to find that key; or just use your arsenal of weapons such as explosives, rocket launchers et cetera to blow a hold on the side of the wall to get past.

This game allowed a great deal of diversity and freedom to what you like. The best part of all is the caves, you could literally blow a hole into the side of the cave wall and create your own entrances; or better yet the ground beneath you.

This is probably one of the best few games that allowed you to destroy your environment; more so than the current Battlefield 3 or Battlefield Bad Company 2 where you can destroy buildings and trees; but didn't allow you to destroy mountains or large boulders.
