new gaming pc help

[Flaminginferno]

I recently moved from a few year old laptop with an age old HDD onto a new pc with SSD and I must admit I've noticed a drastic improvement in boot times for windows and all the other programs I have stored on the SSD (of course a lot of that could just be the new pc). Cant say I store my games on there though I use a separate larger HDD for that.

Whether you should just put the OS on the SSD or whether you should put other programs on is probably more a matter of personal choice.

yeah im looking at reviews on them now on gaming performance and they don't seem to add much just a few seconds less waiting i have seen 1 review stating you get 10 - 20 extra fps not sure what super SSD hes using haha :P

yeah me too, ive only been playing pc for a few months and it just seems so much easier to use keyboard and mouse than a controller and there is more of a nice community with pc players you get so many 5 year olds screaming down the mic or playing music down their mics :P

I find its easier to switch off the 5 year olds (etc.) screaming down the mics when on the PC - It's easier to use your own chat programs etc.
I'd agree with you on the mouse/keyboard for many games, but not all. Some games are better played with a controller, as many forum members on here will attest to as they are merely ports from the console versions of the game. EA Games are notorious for that sort of thing!

It still beats the xbox

try GTA4 its a terrible port my pc at the moment can handle most games on high at 1980 x 1080 but GTA4 isn't stable at 800x 600 with everything turned to it lowest settings averaging 40 fps with constant drops to about 10 fps :P

I don't have that problem, it runs really well. I got all the GTA games in the steam summer sale (I bought too many games in the summer sale tbh).
