Console Fanboys

As a warning, I'm going to say that this might turn into a rant about consoles in general. But be reasonable! They're easy targets!

Average fanboy
These are the kinds of people that, no matter how much logic you throw at them, they believe what they want.

The type of person who always believe theirs is better than anything else.

The type of person that never studies the competition.

The type of person who brushes away facts as if they were dust on their shirt.

Console fanboys.

AC3 and the Gaming Rig

I'm going to preface this by saying I don't have the best rig out there, but it's pretty meaty for what it's worth. It can run PlanetSide 2 on near max settings at 1920x1080 while always maintaining above 40fps, even in large scale warfare. About $900 if I didn't buy things on sale ($50 for a $200 mobo, yeah!)
NZXT Phantom (PHAN-001WT)
EVGA P67 SLI
i5-2500k slight OC 4ghz
8GB DDR3 2133 G.SKILL Sniper series
GIGABYTE ATI Radeon HD 6950 1GB
Diablotek 775w PSU
Old HDDs
I'm looking to upgrade that 6950 to a 670 or higher, I'll do that once I accrue  more cash. For those of you wondering what PlanetSide 2 looks like when maxed out, here:


But Assassin's Creed 3... oh man.
