    anyone know

    any point going from 8gb ram 1333mhz to 8gb ram 1600mhz?

    From understanding not much of a difference in games, just benchmarks

    I would say its a waste of money . You won't notice any real world improvement just more e-peen bragging rights .

    Higher speed RAM makes a difference with AMD systems and overclocked Intel systems. If it's not overclocked, you won't see any real world difference.
    memoryc.com is one of the better places to go for RAM and they have a reasonably good selection. Prices are usually competitive (aside from if you're about to place an order with hardwareversand), especially with the free delivery.

    Trying to play Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 and the damn thing just won't work properly on my computer. I can't seem to break 30fps regardless of where I use 'very high' or 'low' settings, which seems bizarre, but when I drop the resolution down from 1920x1080 to 1280x800, the framerate goes up to 150! I have a 3570k and 7770 crossfire, and other games are fine.....

    Went from 7770 Crossfire to a single 7850 2GB, and viola, on the exact same settings, 35 -> 65fps. The game's just a horrible memory hog.

    now that my Xbox sky on demand service has expired, I honestly haven't turned on my Xbox in months. I got lured back temporarily for Trials Evolution but I even solved that by getting an Xbox controller for my HTPC. the passive HD6450 gives the Xbox a run for it's money in everything but the most intensive stuff like BF3, which I wouldn't play on console anyway!

    I got 13months Gold for the Xbox around the same time I got the PC. I say I used two or three days worth of the gold. :pac:

    Thing about a play station is you have a blu ray player :p I cant neglect it to much tho as I like playing bf3 with my mates. Im just looking forward to a new gaming experience and having games like Metro 2033, I could sing day z's praise's but in fairness the hackers seem to be ruining that at the moment , I guess there is PS2, war thunder, and a ton of other games out there to be suggested. If you have any let me know... :)

    Get yourself steam and origin and watch out for sales. You can pick most titles up, even recent ones, for half or less than half price. Not to mention a ton of good free games like Team fortress 2, League of legends, Planetside 2, Hawken, World of tanks, Star wars the old republic, ect + the crap loads of free mods. Welcome to the wonderful world of pc gaming :)

    No problem. Anticipation mode now waiting for the courier :)

    No need anyway. There's enough quality free titles to keep you going for a while.

    The episodic walking dead games are supposed to be good.
