Approximate Purchase Date:
Preferably by the end of October (unless there's a good reason to hold off a bit longer).
Budget Range:
1000-1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming
Watching movies/TV
Surfing the net
Are you buying a monitor:
No (Will be using an ASUS VS248H-P at 1920x1080).
Parts to Upgrade:
Will be reusing my monitor, mouse/keyboard and DVD drive. Pretty certain everything else needs replacing.
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes (some form of Win 7 as I've not heard good things about 8).
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Do not currently have any preferences but must note that I'm from Canada.
Location:
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Parts Preferences:
Intel CPU, NVidia graphics card
Overclocking:
No
SLI or Crossfire:
Maybe but probably not unless it's really worth it
Your Monitor Resolution:
1920x1080
Additional Comments:
Wildstar currently gets the biggest use out of my PC, power wise. I need it to play smoothly as it currently struggles in many situations due to old hardware. Mostly play MMOs with the rare, single player game every so often. Even more rarely, whatever current FPS is out that my friends drag me into.
Have not had good experiences with ATI/AMD cards, so NVidia is HIGHLY preferred.
Would like a min of 8GB of RAM (possibly 16).
Will be doing the SSD (for the OS and games)+HDD (for everything else) combo thing.
Will need decent cooling as my room gets incredibly hot during the summer (and have had PC issues in the past because of this).
My last two cases have been Antec Sonata's for the supposed noise reduction.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
My current PC is approx. 6-7 years old now and needs replacing to play current games comfortably at my newer monitor's resolution of 1920x1080. I would like to be able to play at the highest settings with the smoothest frame rate possible.
Any extra info needed, just ask.
