NOTE: Apologies, but i posted this in the other forum by mistake. I dont mean to spam the forum!
Hi guys, i live in Montreal and my brother and i are looking to build a pair of gaming rigs (the budget is 1700-1900 per computer, of course). Any help you guys could provide would be great! I've read alot of posts on these boards and you guys seem to be a very helpful bunch so I figured I'd try my luck.
I'm also totally clueless about the best place to get parts in Canada, or specifically, Quebec.
BUDGET: 1700-1900 Canadian Bucks
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Fairly soon, next month or so
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard and mouse. im i've got a nice G-15 gaing keyboard. i need pretty much everything else. I have an old 23 in Flatscreen, but id like to run a two monitor setup.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS:no idea, but i live in Montreal, Quebec.
PARTS PREFERENCES: I've gone AMD w my current rig, and i think i'd like to try the new intel processors. With cid cards I've always had better results with ATI, but i don't mind NVIDIA.
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe, depending on the extra cost vs benefit. let me know if you think i have room in my budget for it.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: not to sure what to list here, but my current monitor is a 2 year old 23 IN flatscreen. I wouldn't mind hitting a higher resolution with the new one.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd like a case with some snazzy LEDs, and something well cooled. Case size and noise is not really an issue as long as its not uber loud.
I'm looking for a solid rig, but with some pretty high performance.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO THE COMMUNITY!
