Well my old rig gaming rig is just about dead so it is that magical time every 3 years to do a serious upgrade. I want to build a solid gaming rig at an affordable price ~1000. I am going to keep my 17in Samsung LCD, SB Audigy 2 Gamer, and peripherals.
Please let me know what you think. I play mostly FPS games; CS:S etc. I also plan on overclocking and I think I am going to stick with stock cooling for a bit and see where that takes me unless you think there would provide enough of a performance gain to go OEM + heatsink.
I plan on upgrading my LCD in 6 months to a year to something in the 19 + range (nothing huge though). If you could please provide suggestions for a quality and affordable PSU I would really appreciate it. Same goes for a CD/DVD burner. All comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
