I am looking to upgrade my existing gaming rig. As such starting this thread with answers in prescribed format.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: To play MMOG 'World of Tanks' 15-20 Hours weekly and other upcoming online titles.
