SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Have no real preference. Probably use AMD simply for the lower prices
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Will be playing mostly Heroes of Newerth, A lot of FPS (Battlefield Bad Company 2, MW2, TF2, Counter Strike) Want the system to be best as possible within the budget and would like to keep in mind that I will upgrade it as time goes on.
I wanted to try and get a HD 5830 or HD 5850 but I think they may be too expensive for this build? Also, I am not sure about the ram. It is possible I should go with a different sort.
Thanks for the help everyone!
