Whoops, sorry I accidentally clicked a solution for my first response when I submitted this. so here it is redone. I truly do apologize for any mishaps
Hey all I currently have an Asus notebook G73Sw series laptop. I am thinking of getting a desktop so I can customize it as the years go by. Thing is last time I messed with customizing a desktop was back in 99' when I was a kid helping my dads friend with my windows 98 HP pavilion. So if anyone has some good advice for what is a good Rig for around $1,000- 1,200 it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Next few weeks
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping: $1,000 - $1,300
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming, but also surfing internet and movies.
Are you buying a monitor: I have a TV with attachments, I would like to see a RIG with and without a monitor (see how much it affects price and different parts that get changed when a monitor gets added.)
Parts to Upgrade: Whole new Desktop
Do you need to buy OS: I have a windows 7 registration key that is used for my laptop. My friend was able to use his laptop code for his new desktop?
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: You're all the experts haha I only know of amazon and ebay. So I am open to any.
Location: Peru, Illinois, USA
Parts Preferences: Negative no preferences
Overclocking: If it helps with gaming then yes please
SLI or Crossfire: Honestly I have no clue what this is but if it helps with gaming then yes?
Your Monitor Resolution: Laptop is 1600x900, so anything equivalent or a bigger screen is nice.
Additional Comments: I mostly play Arma 3, but am a big time gamer for games such as Crysis, Battlefield 4, Total war series etc etc
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I have an Asus Notebook G73Sw series laptop and after looking into upgrading the video card I could not help but notice that basically it needs special cards in order to be compatible. My best friend recently acquired a custom built desktop and it reminded me how customizable desktops were.
