Not as good as the original. 

You do not need to buy the first Rift. There is a 49.99 version of storm legion for those who have not played Rift before. Thist gives acess to the entire game.

I supported them. I'd rather shell out 30 or so to support a new PC dev than buy BO2.

550 ti is a perfect value card. i have the 560ti myself and ran the beta max no problem.

took advice into account, updated build

I have finally taken on the task of building my own computer. I have been using my laptop for light gaming and would really like something more powerful. This is a preliminary build that I have come up with. I'm not sure if all the parts are compatible or of bottle-necking issues so I was wondering if anyone knowledgeable would be kind enough to give me some advice.

PC NEEDS:

Games: Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Starcraft 2

Surfing the web

movies

*edit: changed ram and mobo, tweaked cpu and will be getting a 120mm fan
