Question  Why did you upgrade?

PC gamers! What motivated you to purchase that upgrade and what did you upgrade from into?

RE: Why did you upgrade?

I upgraded from a 5 year old laptop to a pretty high end desktop. I might consider upgrading my graphics card because it heats up a lot.

RE: Why did you upgrade?

I personally upgraded my graphics card and processor for VR! I didn't need to upgrade the processor but I opted to mainly for more power and the giggles. I went from an I5 to an I7. The graphics card was upgraded from a GTX680 to a GTX1070 Ti. I even installed a liquid cooling kit for the processor because I heard that the I7 was like a space heater.

I personally was really into console gaming, I didn't even know there were "Gaming Pc's" until like 2 years ago, i was on YouTube and saw a video Titled "Ps4 pro vs 500$ PC" and i saw how much better the graphics looked and how much higher the fps was and there was no stuttering at all, so I switched and i personally love my PC even tho I wan't to update to some newer parts. A PC does take time to get use to because you will run into problems, like recently my PC just kept restarting randomly and crashing, and Uzzy helped me figure out that my bios needed to be updated, so like every month you're going to want to check you drivers for everything but its worth it once you receive the performance it gives you.

Upgraded from a potato to a pretty noice laptop, but I don't have room for a PC rn so rip. Probs will upgrade in the future again.

FPS is great now. @.@ No more capped at 30 and below.

ArmA 3 did it for me. Game runs like CRAP but it's got some fun experiences available.

RE: Why did you upgrade?

I was on a 6 year old Core 2 Duo PC with a GT210. XD.

Upgraded mainly because I needed a laptop for uni. So decided to get an entry level gaming laptop :)
