Hi All
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 2 weeks from now.
BUDGET RANGE: $800 - $1100
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: playing the latest and greatest games flawlessly,converting/burning/watching movies,surfing the internet
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
PARTS PREFERENCES: All branded parts , no generic parts. I have already bought a 24' Acer H234H separately with 1920x1080 being its native resolution.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe (but probably not)
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I would prefer a quiet PC but am not willing to spend to much extra to achieve this
So I have spent the last 2 years with an hp laptop with a broken screen that I had to connect to a 14' lcd and the intel x3100 integrated graphics card. You would agree I need a new pc.
I don't have the time to build my own computer after buying the parts separately. Im pretty much set on the i5 750 and the HD 5850 graphics card after researching these for the past 2 months. I started with a budget of AUS$600 and now have stretched it to almost double that so I am unable to spend a cent more then AUS$1200.
Take a look at the build I found on ebay from a respected computer store and let me know what you guys think. It comes to $1148 with postage.
