Sorry it's been so long since I've been online. As some of you know, I have a habit about disappearing. Well, I've been so busy with life and still am, I find it hard to do graphics anymore. It's not something that excites me anymore. I've lost my passion for it.

As of that, I've been spending more time with life stuff. Friends, college, video games I've missed, etc. Well, a lot has been going on in the friends and college situation, but I still get time for video games which puts everything else like graphics and music on the back burner.

So here's what's up. I'm looking for a new desktop or laptop pc. Must be sub $1500. If it can be helped, sub $1000 is better. It needs a decent graphics card if it's a laptop. At least a Radeon HD 4600 series or a 9600GX or higher. Should be dual core or higher, I'd prefer AMD but Intel is fine too, and must be at least 2.5GHZ if it's a bit below, that's fine too. Should also have at least 2 gig of ram. Other than that, anything around 160gb for hard drive for a laptop is perfect, I can store whatever else on my current desktop. If it's a desktop, I can drop my 500gb SATA Drive in there and call it a day.

I'm also looking for xbox 360 and PC games, these would come after the PC because the PC is important to me. PC games I can easily download, my xbox I can't, so live games will wait. I have Halo 3: ODST, Rock Band 2, and am borrowing Bioshock from a friend. My PC games are Fallout 3, Devil May Cry 4, Gears of War, Call of Duty: World at War, CoD: Modern Warfare, Halo, Halo 2, Left 4 Dead, Half Life and Source Engine games, Grid, Dirt 2, Dead Space, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Cryostasis, Starcraft, etc. You get the picture.

You're probably asking if my pc can run those games already, why do I need a new one? Well... It's running a Pentium 4 HT, 2 GB of ram, and a HD 4830. Right now, it runs hot as hell and is pretty unstable since it crashes a lot. I've added more fans to the case, but it didn't help. The other thing is, my brother needs a new pc, since I have the best pc in the house, I figure any desktop with a stock video card, I can buy a new power supply and drop my 4830 in and give him my current pc with my old 8600gt. (He's running a pc that can't even power Vista. 1.5ghz, 384mb of ram, 20gb hdd, 32mb vram. Yeah, it sucks.) So, me getting a new pc would be helpful.

I'd really appreciate the help from everyone. Also, if you are going to give me a list of parts, send the list with links to the parts to ryotsumi at hotmail dot com (Yes, I did it that way to not help spammers, forgive me.) As always, thank you for the help and thanks for continuing to watch my page even though I'm a lazy bastard and don't upload anything.
