Would this fork for FFXIV? - Yunas13 - 02-06-2017
Hi guys, long time no see! I've got a question about a desktop and was wondering you thoughts on it. I'm playing on asus laptop that I've had for 2 wonderful/amazing years!

I'm wanting to switch to a desktop as I am worried that if I keep pushing my laptop that I might have the same thing happen to it as it's predecessor (video card burned out). I know this laptop is a beast but I think it be better to move to a desktop so on days when I go out of town or go visit family, I can just use the laptop.
This is a desktop that I'm eyeing, I think it's a good price and specs look better than my laptop. Could you guys look at it and tell me if it's worth paying. I see that the video card can be upgraded to 1080 but it has to be the founders edition.

Help me, please. I'm not very knowledgeable about computers, I know a little bit but not enough to feel confident. The laptop I decided on and it was an amazing choice.
Thank you

Honestly? That computer's probably overkill if you have a single monitor at 1080p or so. It should be able to run everything at max on even a 1440p single monitor.
If you have a multi-monitor configuration, you should still be able to play with high settings on multiple screens.
