If you're looking to upgrade your PC....

I see people on here saying they need a new PC whether it's just to get ready for PR2 or get better frame rates out of PR:BF2.

PCPartPicker is a really handy tool that allows you to build a new PC by selecting parts on the website and then order them so you can build it yourself. The best part is that if some of the part's you're buying are incompatible, it will tell you that your current build won't work and it will tell you what's wrong so you can select a different part.

If this is still a little daunting, the website has a devoted subreddit on Reddit.com devoted to helping people with the website.

Yeah, but I feel most players frequent the General Discussion section of the forums so I posted it there. That way if it gets moved (which it did) then it would still show up in General Discussion for a bit so more people would be able to see it.

There are so much handy sites on the internet, yet not a lot of people seem to use them.

Can I ask the admins of this sub-forum to make a sticky with some useful sites like pcpartspicker, etc.. ?
