Vanquish 4 Level 2

Hey everyone! I'm new to these forums, but I just ordered a Vanquish 4 Level 2 (used a different email to order, as a family member helped me out, but I'm hoping to get this one linked somehow), and I'm super excited.

I haven't ever had a truly decent gaming PC, and the last 'next gen' console I got was the Wii when that came out. The best I had PC-wise I had a computer that would run something like Left 4 Dead 2 and Fallout 3 on medium-low settings, with a playable framerate. So when I found out Fallout 4 was coming out, I knew I had to finally upgrade, and I wanted something that would run games really well, but not kill my budget. After researching for some time, Digital Storm seemed the best option for me, and the Vanquish line was the only thing I could find with enough power for the money.

Right now I only have my old monitor, which does have an HDMI port, but it's only 1600x900 resolution. So I think the NVIDIA GTX 960 4GB should run FO4 on Ultra nicely, maybe with a few tweeks? What do you guys think?

I've got several other games on steam that I can't play currently, due to the graphics, that I'm really looking forward to playing (Bioshock series, Dead Rising 2, Dead Island, SOMA). I even bought Dead island for full price years ago and never could play it! Plus I'm an artist, so I may end up needing this machine for other things, multitasking, some minor video editing/stop motion capture, maybe some digital painting.


Anyways, enough rambling Can't wait to receive my system, never had something even close to this, so I'm sure I'll be impressed!! Thanks Digital Storm for all the help already! (some silly payment issues on my part, as I'm not used to buying something over $500 online, usually)

Congrats on the Vanquish level 2.    

The 960 will play all those games with little trouble.  Maybe not max with Fallout 4, not sure, but even High settings is awesome.

Thanks guys!
Yeah even on high, FO4 should be awesome. I'm excited to try out the new perk system, as I liked how New Vegas put more emphasis on the perks than 3.

F4 comes with unlimited leveling, so all perks are available after time. Even so, the (adorable) perk chart will be there to help you build the right "lone wanderer" for you.   

Yeah the perk chart looks great, and I'm all for the no level cap. I'm a bit of a completionist so I like to (reasonably) get everything I can
I'd gladly take some suggestions on the monitor, I'll definitely be getting an upgrade, hopefully soon.

I'm already at stage 7, looks like I'll be getting it earlier than expected if it ships in the next few days! So stoked

I am running a Asus VG248QE 144Hz @1ms response time. I have been very happy with the monitor and the refresh rate is great. Now, it is a TN panel monitor so it won't pop like a IPS monitor but with some tweaking you can get it looking really good. It runs about $250 on newegg.

let us know what you get with some pics if possible when you decide

Usually that day or the next. But, in this case the next day started the 3 day holiday weekend.   I'd email them and ask. Could've shipped today.   Unless they ran out of boxes, etc. which has happened.

Awesome Thanks guys, I'll send an email if need be.

The order was just marked as shipped!! Just as Alex told me it would, thanks again for the help!
I'm super excited and also praying that UPS is gentle with it.

My Vanquish should arrive tomorrow!! Just trying to keep myself occupied until then Got my desk all clean and ready for it.

Good idea, I'll send him one. Easier for me than doing it over the phone.

I ended up using a family members bank account, so they put in their details. So it's under a separate email.

Haha yes! Alex took care of everything The system is out for delivery today, too! Could get it any time now

Congrats on the new system and don't forget to eat once you get it setup.

Congrats and thanks for the picture. Looks good.

Cool! Doesn't the lvl 2 have the same 2 fans in front? If so, it looks like the bottom fan in the front isn't running... might want to check that out.
