Hey guys. New to the forum but not new to the site.
I'm looking for best bang for the buck while ensuring everything works together. Hopefully well under $500 CDN. I'm looking to upgrade the CPU/Mobo/Ram and Video Card. I'd like to stick with Nvidia if possible and SLI is not necessary. I do have 2x 22" Monitors running at 1680/1050 with a thought of maybe adding a 3rd so depending on the cost difference, a card that will support that (I'm looking at the Zotac GTX 750Ti and would love confirmation if this will work with 3 monitors). Also Intel as I'm concerned with power requirements with the 5 drives but am not opposed to this AMD if it'll work.
I don't play a lot of cutting edge games and when I do play them, I don't require max quality, just a smooth gameplay experience. FPS, MMO, and RTS.
These are the parts I've put together and would love this communities feedback.
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/QgtdJx (although I'm hoping to bring this dollar total amount down considerably)
My current parts as follows:
Generic Mid-Atx case
Thermaltake 700 W Computer Power Supply (TR700)
Asus P5QL Pro Mainboard
Intel DuoCore E8400 @3GHz w/Aftermarket Cooler Master fan
4GB DDR2 333MHz Ram (2x2) Generic Hyundai
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB
4 X 2TB SATA Hard Drives
1 X DVD Dual Layer Writer
Thanks
