As the release day of Final Fantasy XIV gets closer and closer... The excitement rises and I really can't wait to play! (I'm refraining myself from playing the Open Beta... so I don't get any sort of spoilers!) However, the real problem is... I don't have a powerful enough computer to run it! My laptop, which is 3 years old, won't be able to run it. It's only got 4 gig ram, 32bit Vista and a 8600 NVIDIA graphics card, and less than 5 gigs on my harddrive... I guess it can run it at low resolution, but the laptop will probably overheat...
So here is the plan! Build a new desktop and hook it up to my HD TV and play it in Hi-Def! Muahahahaha. Thats if I can get the funds to get myself a new comp...
I'm comsidering getting these parts:
- Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz quad core
- 6 Gig DDR3 ram (3x 2 gig)
- 500 gig Harddrive (Only using it for general FFXIV, and I have plenty of portable HDDs)
- Sapphire Radeon HD5970 2gig Graphics Card
- Window's 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- Possibly a Blu-Ray Writer but probably just a DVD/CD RW
- And a case to put all these goodies in and a mouse and keyboard.
That will cost me about.... $2700 NZD... Which I don't have at the moment lol. AHHH I can dream... But I really do hope I win the lotto or something and then I can build myself an ultimate FFXIV comp >.>
Ohhh on the contrary, September is a good month! Not only FFXIV is coming out, but Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is coming out, and I have pre-ordered the Special Edition that should arrive tomorrow! That and uni should keep me busy until I build myself a nice computer for FFXIV! Hopefully...
