APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: no real deadline; before the unannounced Cataclysm lol
BUDGET RANGE: (budget is maxed at 1200) total at purchase
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: (I have a netbook to serf the net and download…everything I download goes straight to an external TB hard drive. This CPU would be used for gaming; specifically I want to play World of Warcraft, Just Cause 2, Command and Conquer series, and ALL of the Total War series. I would like to run WOW on the highest graphic settings; no shadows though. As for the other games they won’t need to play on max settings, but I want to enjoy the gameplay)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: software... although I will be using Windows 7
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (I would like to buy as many parts from manufacturers, I would not mind newegg.com, ncix.com, tigerdirect.com, or any sTorE in NYC (might be cheap?) IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CONFIGURE ON A SITE, as I have no idea how to construct a CPU
-- to show us selection & pricing) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (NYC, USA)
PARTS PREFERENCES: (I would like to use an Intel CPU & ATI video card – I know I can’t get the best or newest models but from what I have read these would be better for games) .... the i5 750 and the ATI HD 5000 series are musts...
OVERCLOCKING: Would like too SLI OR CROSSFIRE: in the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: I believe 1920x1080 - is the LED for Samsung so ya
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: (I really want to spend my summer in front of a high performance computer…6 years ago I bought an alienware laptop and I loved World of Warcraft on it. Two years ago it busted and so did my WoW career, but it’s about to be summer and I think I have the time and capital to get back into the game…I have read and ‘’configured’’ tons of CPU’s “ONLINE” but I keep going over budget and I know it can be done for 1200)
I just found this website and there isn’t enough time in the day to go through all of this great info without making a post to see if I can attract the info I require. I read most of the posts on CPU’s and WoW and I would like to work this out before I copout and buy a premade:: I would like a quiet PC, I would like a cool looking case, I want to spend most of my budget on ram, cpu, and video card.. )
THANKS
