I'm experienced in building & modding everyday use PC's for myself as well as friends and family, but not sure quite what I'm getting into with a gaming build. I'm not dead set on anything in the above list, I could even go either way as far as or Intel processors. I have been wanting to create one for a while but was always caught up with school. plan on making this one for me, and give best buy Compaq comp that i modded alot with different item backs to folks. Also what kind of gaming performance could I expect out of this machine? I would like to run MMORPGS & etc.... as well as Borderlands, COD4, MW2 to name a few. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!...i already have a 1 tb so yea
I really would like to be able to update my bios to at least Rampage Formula.
or if you find im being to skeptical could you tell me what would be some good, motherboard,psu,gpu,processor,hdd,memory card, vodeo card,etc.................
