Hey, I'm a first time builder with a budget of about $1300 looking to build a nice gaming PC.
I've already got a power supply and a mouse but the rest is all gonna be new. I've gotten some idea's from reading this website's guide, and browsing on Newegg, but none of them are set in stone. Ideally, this PC should run Crysis on high settings at 1650x1080, and keep me set for the next few years gaming wise.
Intended OS
Vista 64x
Overclocking: Possibly, but not necissarily.
Here's what I've come up with so far:
Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136319
