Ok guys this is going to be my first computer I've ever built. I've been around computers my whole life and have upgraded every computer I've ever owned, new RAM, Vid Cards, Hard Drives, Power Supplies. I figure its about time to just build one.
This computer is going to be used primarily for gaming. I intend to play WAR when it comes out and I know its not a demanding game but would like to run best graphics w/out lag in big rvr fights. I would like to dual log DAoC accounts, which can be somewhat demanding. I would like to pick up the occasional new PC game and would like to run it well. I also intend to watch some movies on my PC as well as general internet surfing/downloading.
I have studied this forums for the last 5 or so months researching this build. I intend to OC!!!! Figure just make this one big learning experience. So, here is my build!
Taken from Newegg. To be ordered by the end of September, so let me know if something better will be out by then or of any price drops that are scheduled!!!
