The last thread i opened had a post that said i should use this template in order to ask for help. This is the first desktop that im going to build and i need help deciding what parts to use, what parts would work with which best etc. Also, I was looking on the website: Ibuypower but after reading the website's reviews im having second thoughts and considering just purchasing all the parts separately. If you have any experience with this website please let me know. Also, if you could please, please help me with what i should purchase for the optimal gaming experience any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Approximate Purchase Date: Making the Purchase on Monday or Tuesday
Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Approximately 2850$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming. Maybe some netflix but i want this to be a gaming powerhouse.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. (Preferably a large full HD monitor.)
Parts to Upgrade: Brand new build. Purchasing everything and building it by following a few helpful guides that i've been researching.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes. Im going to be buying windows 7 as windows 8 looks horrid
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: I have absolutely no idea/preference.
Location: I live in the state of Tennessee in the USA
Parts Preferences: I have no idea, but according to my research AMD seems to offer more bang for the buck over Nvidia (please correct me if i'm wrong)
Overclocking: I have no idea.
SLI or Crossfire: I have no idea
Your Monitor Resolution: preferably 1920x1080 or 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I just want a gaming powerhouse desktop and i would like to build it myself.
I'm upgrading because my last gaming laptop (I've always used laptops but i want to switch over to a desktop) crashed from over use.
