Alright guys I'm at the point where I'm weighing the cost and time to build a new computer or just buy a new one. Here's what I have so far
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next week weeks
BUDGET RANGE: 700-1000 USD
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: surfing the internet, music, gaming (starcraft 2, call of duty mw2, etc)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: just the computer
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg. I'd prefer to try and buy everything from one site if at all possible
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'm planning on a Intel CPU (probably an i7) and either an Asus or Gigabyte motherboard
OVERCLOCKING: most likely not OR CROSSFIRE: most likely not
For a motherboard, Ive been looking at the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 and the Intel i7-860 for CPU. For a video card I've heard good things about the Radeon 5770 as a mid-range card.
I'm open to any suggestions at all.
