Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 6: Core 2 Quad Land

[DiJonKariz]

Today's episode posed a hard challenge of choosing who deserves the Chance , because they all seem to do. But I hope I made the right choice .

 

[ReidenLightman]

Blue Lightning barely even has a boot drive. Only 160GB? I hope an upgrade package can save him some money to empower him to buy some decent storage.

 

[MortTheBeast]

One cool thing

Voted for Bruce to get a new i5-8400, cheers!

Thank you Ion! Not looking like I will as of yet... still early I know, but Andrew has been consistently pulling ahead more and more.

 

[LunarSC2]

Good luck to everybody!

 

[Mokamns]

Voted for Andrew's Due Retirement PC, because... I somehow like the wavemaster case. Hope to see some new hardware in there, soon ;-)

 

[Ark Royal]

Good luck for Mitchell. He seems to be in the greatest need for an upgrade considering the whole system.

 

[KennyK]

Voting for Francis, that Core 2 cpu needs to go!

 

[Ailike]

Voted for Andrew's upgrade. Let's not retire that PC just yet!

 

[liam Fitzell]

You gotta love those pata conetion

 

[TheBlackBox]

The selection is much tougher this week. Good luck to everyone!

I must say that this makes me wish I hadn't of upgraded my Q6600 to an Xeon. Maybe @Steve will show some Xeon PCs a little love in the future?

Gotta say even though Bruce has a decent system with the R9 390 the upgrade path will actually make his rig good up front without anything really holding it back. Unlike many of the others it will actually be complete with the upgrades.

Exactly my thoughts and thus my vote for "Da Oldies" - he's gonna get the most balanced and ready to game system out there! (and this was my first time seeing someone rockin' qx9650 - nostalgic enthusiast in me kinda felt warm inside seeing that 999$ dream cpu from the days of yore when most, including myself, were having c2d e8xxx cpus )

 

[Fileko]

Blue Lightning FTW! haha

Let's increase the market share of AMD some more...

Let's increase the market share of AMD some more...

best option for good and budget right now.

 

[John Kramps]

Love the Upgrade my PC series. Hopefully it stays but it sure is expensive for Hardware unboxed.

 

[Artremence]

Pretty interesting builds. I'm sure any of them could use the love. Good luck to all contestants.

 

[LeroN]

Tried to launch SWB2 beta on Q6600 + R360 with 1080p Low and it really sucks. The frame rate is terrible and game friezes. The whole platform is obsolete completely. But first 4 Cores from Intel were tremendous some time ago.

 

[Nikolai Nikolov]

I vote for Bruce ‘Rockin Da Oldies’ from the United States. Good luck to the winner.

 

[Mokkat]

Gotta go with Bruce for this one

 

[Adam Ary]

Poor Mitchell. Upgrade his PC, please!

 

[hamwar]

Good luck all!

 

[stoopmice]

They all deserve an upgrade but my vote is for Bruce. Good luck to them all!

 

[SteveTS101]

Wow this is so close! Hope I will be nominated with my HD 7750 and 3770s. Good luck Bruce!

 

[Rohan Holsen]

My vote goes to.... Andrew! Dat Wave though. Good luck everyone!

 

[trupek1000]

Very hard choice this time...
Good luck!
