Seems nice, how does it handle new games?

[silviuvlad93]

GTA 5 at High settings (not maximum), at 1080p over 60fps, most new games at 1080p run over 45fps at settings medium-high. But as games tend to use more VRAM, I really need a 4GB video card, but I can't afford anything, I'm broke right now, and I'm sure I won't be able to afford a new GPU for a long time, hopefully I get one from AMD giveaways, that would be nice, I'm a huge AMD fan, had AMD and ATI since Athlon 64 2800+, so the fusion was a good news for me since I don't like intel or nvidia, so whenever I'll have money, I'll always invest in AMD.

any pics of the inside, looks sweet tho!

I have to dust clean it and I am lazy at the moment, it doesn't look that sexy either, no fancy neons or anything.

Do you feel like that 120GB SSD is holding you back? I went from 120 to 250 and now at 500.

[silviuvlad93]

Well 120GB is enough for Windows OS and GTA5 and a few programs that I use, I don't need a bigger ssd, I would need another one, for games (so I wouldn't keep GTA on this ssd, and have other games on it too), and keep this one for the OS and programs.
