Really.
This is my third computer.
First one, I got in 2008 or so, was running a Pentium 4. Wasn't even able to run Age of Empires 3. But I did play Age of Empires 2.
Second one, I got a year ago or maybe 2 now, CPU was much better.
It was a Athlon X2 6000+/Radeon HD 4200.
Age of Empires 3 yes, but any game newer than 2008 or so was a no no.
So my first 2 computers I got from family members and were outdated by quite a bit.
This year I decided I was going to build my own.
-Intel i5-4690, 8 GB Ram
Got that far about 3 months ago, finally got a good GPU.
-Intel i5-4690
-8 GB RAM
-GTX 970
So proud and happy with it.
Pretty nice config.
My PC is a Pentium III with GeForce 256 yet
play Diablo (the first) and StarCract pretty well... ohhhh it plays the first Age of Empires too.
I have a note but it is not for gaming... so I never installed anything but I guess it plays better than my PC even being an i5 with HD integrated graphics.
