Approximate Purchase Date: parts ordered well before Christmas
Budget Range: $500-$700, depending on a few factors (which I will write below)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, school, basic usage
Are you buying a monitor: Possibly, see additional comments at the bottom
Parts to Upgrade: all
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 7 preferably
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any website really, you guys probably know best
Location: WA State, USA
Parts Preferences: no pref- on the final price
SLI or Crossfire: no
Your Monitor Resolution: depends on if I need to buy a monitor
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: laptop is degrading to a point where I almost can't play games on it
Additional Comments:
1. Connecting directly to the router isn't an option, so I'll need to connect wirelessly. I wasn't sure where else to put this since I don't know exactly how wireless cards/adapters work.
2. Right now I have a 22 inch hdtv that I was thinking of using as my monitor, but I don't know if I should. Link to my TV (http://www.amazon.com/Magnavox-22ME402V-F7-22-Inch-Clas...). I've also heard that when using a TV as a monitor, you can experience input lag of varying degrees. If so, I'd like to just buy a monitor as I couldn't stand artificial lag for the games I play.
3. Games I play are: World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, League of Legends, Fallout 3, Black Ops 2, CS:GO, ect.
4. Most games I play now I play at the lowest possible settings, usually with low but playable (sometimes unplayable) fps. What I'm looking to get out of this computer is good framerate (constant 45+) on medium-high settings. So I've been curious where the most "efficient" price is for a somewhat lower end computer (be it 500 gets you X, but another ~100 will get you Y, so long as you dont go over Z (700), <-- hopefully someone can understand that.
5. That should be all, thanks for any help/input!
