I would like to try to build a desktop that will allow me to play Starcraft 2 without too much frustration. I am looking to build so that I would be ready to upgrade later. Or would it be better to purchase a barebones package or perhaps a complete desktop?
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: this month BUDGET RANGE: 600 after Rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming, college work, internet surfing
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS. I also have 4 GB of DDR2 memory that does not have to be used if it is not compatible. It is Kingston PC2-5300/667 MHz.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: (none – but would prefer not to have to make multiple orders)
PARTS PREFERENCES: looking for recommendations
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1600 x 900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I would like to build a computer as cheaply as possible now (less than $600) but that would allow me to upgrade later when my finances allow.
