Ive decided that my current PC isnt exactly up to my standards anymore as far as gaming is concerned. So ive talked it over with the wife and ive been givin "permission" (lol) to spend about $1500 on a gaming pc. I want you to keep in mind that this pc will be used for general internet use and major gaming. I wont be doing anything that would require alot (outside of gaming) of bang. Ive been reading a few guides and forums about better/more for the dollar parts and ive come up with what i figure to be a pretty decent build. Thats where you guys (the experts) come in to judge the selections ive made. lol Please keep in mine that $1500 isnt my max, But it shouldnt be very much more than that at best.
Ok, Im gonna post all my newegg links, (sorry if we arent allowed to include names of other sites, Im kinda new to forums) One last note; I wont be ordering this PC until around Jan. 10th(ish) So if something is coming out in between now and then that i should replace one of these parts with, By all means inform me. lol Now to the parts already.
Im getting a EVGA car so i figure i might as well match it with an EVGA board. More compatibility i supose.

(I want to note that im buying the mobo and CPU as a package deal. So long as the deal is still ongoing in Jan. Hence the reason the cpu might not be as good as another one or whatever.)

With all that and with some extra thermal compund, Another fan, Mouse, Keyboard, and DVD burner my total comes up to be $1,802.71 Not exactly $1500 but the wife isnt to upset over it. lol I would like to order everything from newegg so that it all comes at about the same time and im not collecting piece by piece. As far as my gaming goes, Im not a crysis player so im not so concerned with that much power. One day i might like to try it out and id like to feel comfortable knowing i could play it well if needed. Mostly ive been playing WoW and Microsoft FSX. Im thinking of buying Modern Warfare 2 and i would like to be able to play it maxed out with good framerate. Once again, I still have plenty of time to do more research on this before the actual build so this isnt necessarily a final copy. More so a rough draft. So any suggestions or changes or comments would be great!
(im not exactly new to computers but i dont know deep technical specs. Please keep rude comments off this thread as im just trying to learn everything and find out where i might be wrong about certain things. IMHO this is a pretty decent build, But once again im no expert. I appreciate all the reponses in advance!
