Would people be interested in me doing this? I'm fairly confident that you can play Rome 2 on medium settings with a PC under $600, and I help you pick the components of a PC anywhere from this price range, all the way up to extreme-enthusiast price range of $3000 + depending on your budget.



I know what specs will be needed because CA said that their minimum requirements will be the same as Shogun 2, but the max settings will be more demanding.



One more thing to say before you give your answer to my question; DO NOT BUY A PRE-BUILT PC! They are generally over priced for their parts (I promise you can make the same system with half the cash). DO NOT buy "high quality" pre-built PCs either, like Alienware, because all that pricing is pretty much for the custom case alone, it is far too expensive and you can get higher quality cases for half the money. It's just the branding, it's like buying some cheap sunglasses for $20, but as soon as you smack an Oakley label on it, the price changes to $200.



Ok, so tell me if you guys would be interested in this. Building your own PC is very fun too, because it's 100% your own, and you know the system like the back of your hand.



Also, would people prefer these tutorials as written posts, or as YouTube videos?



I've got a poll up.
