This is my second time around. The first was very helpful and I was sure that my build was complete. Thanks to some set backs I need a new build because money is limited. This is my prior build some of the community has helped me put together.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
-i7 920 Nehalem
-Asus P6T
-OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
-Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit
-Darkknight cooler
-ATI Radeon 4870 1gig
-Corsair 750w PSU
This was the core of the build with tower/monitor thrown in but I already purchased those *22 inch monitor and AZZA Fantom 900 case* this all totaled around 1400. Sadly I need it to total around 950 max now. I have no preferences to parts or anything and I've even tried looking for lesser things myself but I can never manage to know what is good or not without googling reviews on every product and still finding nothing helpful. SO,
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Second Weekend in August
BUDGET RANGE: $900-1000)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, school ****, movies, etc
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com or amazon preferably
PARTS PREFERENCES: I have no preferences besides good performance/reliability
OVERCLOCKING: Possible in future
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: In the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: good cooling (case has 4 fans so PSU needs to power those and everything else)
Forgot something very important, I would very much enjoy this PC to last me a few years without having to upgrade to COMFORTABLY play newer games and ones I have. To make it clear what I plan to play (WoW, any and all new FPS games, Dragon Age Origins, L4D 2) so I would like to not have to worry about upgrading or replacing anything for at least 2-4 years (excluding a new GFX card for SLI/Xfire).
Thanks in advance.
(This post may seem ridiculously huge but this is really nerve wracking when you're struggling to get your stuff together before I have to go back to school as my PC is dying and quickly)
