COH is pretty complicated, could take me weeks to master it  |
That line made me scratch my head. Weeks? Isnt CoH the almost like A&A? You havent mastered A&A yet why would you think you would master CoH in weeks lol  |
CoH is so freaking hard if u wanna be top... ppl have played over 10 000 games and more and theres still some who are not good,... like Rug in AnA
it will take u at least half a year to become a ok-good player. |

your best bet for computer parts is newegg.com, complete rating of parts, very good pricing, is pretty much the only place i get my computer parts. i do recommend the radeon hd4870, or also a good value hd4850. radeon is coming out with a new card in april, so if you can wait, the prices of the 4870 and 4850 will come down. as for the processor, the absolute best value is the AMD processors. yes the intel chips are faster, but not enough to justify the price difference. plus if you get a radeon card amd/radeon has a neat overclocking utility called overdrive that overclocksd your processor and vid card with 1 application. hope that gives you valueable info. |

AMD chips definitly cheaper but performance wise they suck, no overclocking headroom and poor gaming performance in demanding games.Intel dropped prices on enough good processor like e8400, e8500 or q6600 and no AMD chip can match those 3 chips. |

What specs for your current PC to see if upgrade worth considering? In any case for $3000 you can build I7 system that will rock your socks off. |
