Hello everyone, recently I've taken an interest in getting a gaming computer. Currently I'm running on a mbp late 2011, 16gb ram, hybrid drive in hdd bay, hdd in optical drive bay, and as well as it runs, I want to get something with more speed.
I like to play games that require a lot of cpu, and with my mbp, it just can't keep up.I love playing fps shooters, rendering videos/photos (not too large), and playing online mmorpgs and such. Not as much right now, but I'd like to get into it once I get a gaming desktop and not with a shoddy laptop.
Games(cpu intensive + mmorpgs>Rendering photos/videos>movies
---first most important, last least important.
I am choosing prebuilt mainly because of my inability of time/skill to do so.
I have been searching through sites, and created a little rig setup. Now I am new to this and could have done something terribly wrong and way out of the ordinary, so please give me your opinions/helpful advice please.
I have made many different configs, but this being my latest, I'd like to share it.
I decided to create it on a website named cyberpowerpc.com. If you have any personal experience with them, I would appreciate learning your experience if you could so. I DO NOT want people saying their customer support sucks, if in all honesty, they have never had an experience with them, just heard that is sucks.
It is $1570, and $1645 after shipping. I have not yet added a wireless internet card, as I have no idea what to do or which product to put in it, so I have not added it to my gaming rig set up yet.
Configuration
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3820 Quad-Core 3.60 GHz 10MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011 (All Venom OC Certified)
HDD: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)
MEMORY: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Quad Channel Memory (Corsair Vengeance [+39])
MOTHERBOARD: (3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support) ASUS P9X79 LE Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX w/ Remote GO!, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 3 Gen3 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI [+19]
SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card [+171] (Major Brand Powered by AMD)
I would really like to have an ssd for my applications, os, and caches, but I am not too smart with that aspect and I'm not entirely sure how to do it. If anyone can give some insightful info on what to do for that kind of thing, it would be very appreciated.
Please if you have anything helpful to say about my setup, please comment. Thank you and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
P.s. If this is waaayyy too much components/power for my kind of need in a gaming desktop, PLEASE TELL ME. I would have rather... MUCH RATHER kept it under $1000 usd. So if I don't need this and I could stick with something much cheaper, please, with all due respect, tell me!
