Understanding the motives of the obsessive MMORPG player may help you realise it’s not necessarily the game that causes the problem.

Blizzard’s blockbuster, World of Warcraft has been online since 2004 and it sports an active user base of well over 10 million. Almost seven years into existence, it still revolves around the same principles it set out to follow; it provides new and fun things to do with your buddies, exciting quests, you can slay big monsters and get better equipment.

The two graphics card manufacturers Nvidia and AMD, formerly known as ATI, have been competing for the title of fastest and best video card on earth. Nvidia had been on the top for quite a while with its monster of a video card GTX 295. Late Q3 last year AMD packed some punch into a small gift basket and sent it out for Nvidia to have something to be happy…

The best gaming experience calls for the best gaming PC on the market, but do you know how deep your pocket has to be to get one?
