Hi guys, so my 6 year old PC P4 3.0 Ghz HT with 1G of ram just exploded due to a power shortage. Yay! This was the final push I needed to finally upgrade my PC, and boy is it due time.
So I`ve been reading and researching about what`s new and decided I`m going to build my PC around the monitor and 1920x1080 resolution. Ideally I would like to play my games at this resolution as well.
Currently the games I would like to play are Mass Effect 1, 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. In the near future I will play StarCraft 2 and Diablo 3. None of these games require the best of the best to run, but I know I will still need something powerful to run these games at my desired resolution flawlessly. That is what I want.
The monitor of choice is the Dell UltraSharp U2311H 23".
My CPU of choice is the Intel Core i7 920. Everything else is open.
Help me find suitable components, I have a flexible budget around $1,000.00 CDN for just the tower.
