Hey guys, I'm building a computer soon and wondering if my planned build is okay, whether I can get more graphics power at my price range, if I should consider spending a little more for better specs or if I should get different parts.
Here is what I put together, I think it's enough for my needs, however I would like as much power as possible.
http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22559006
I know the subtotal is $411.93 but after shipping and taxes, its $501.39.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: As soon as possible.
Budget Range: Looking to spend $500 with all taxes and shipping.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: MMORPG's like Guild Wars 2 and TERA and maybe GTA 5, and Call Of Duty Black Ops.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.ca or Canada Computers
Location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Not sure about any good stores here other than Canada Computers.
Parts Preferences: No preference. Would like a quad core processor though.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050, 1920x1080. I am willing to drop the resolution when required.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current computer is barely capable to running any games and I have been thinking of getting a new one for a while.
Additional Comments:
I'm mainly upgrading just to play MMORPG's with my friends and to get school work done more efficiently.
I just want to know if an APU is the best way to go in my price range or whether I should drop to something that is cheaper and get a discrete gpu with it.
