APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Between now and third week of December
BUDGET RANGE: 900 After Rebates, S/H and Tax which applies to me since I live in TN
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies, and creating word documents.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I will list at the end my current parts and what my wants/needs are.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg is most preferred, though, I'll consider others.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Tennessee USA is where I'm located.
PARTS PREFERENCES: No preferences currently for video cards, though, ATI's new cards are the most tempting. As far as monitor's go, I'm prone to go with Samsung, Dell, ASUS, or possibly Hanns-G.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, CPU only.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe eventually.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Would like to upgrade to 1920x1200 res.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I have Windows 7 64bit installed.
I CURRENTLY HAVE:
20" Acer 5ms 1680x1050 res
Q6600 OC'd to 3.2 Ghz
4 GB DDR2 1066 RAM clocked at 800
750 Watt Corsair PSU
HD 4890 1GB GPU
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 Mobo
APEVIA X-JUPITER-JR G-Type X-JPJGT-BK Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower
250 GB HD
I'M WANTING: To upgrade some parts to get a better view when playing the most high demanding games. I'd like to know the best way to spend my budget. I've considered going with a HD 5870 and new monitor, but maybe you all will think it wiser to upgrade the CPU too. Or maybe spend the whole wad on only a monitor. Or crossfire two 4890's and upgrade monitor....etc etc.
Thanks for any help you can give. Ask me anything and I will answer ASAP.
