Hi all,
Need to build a new pc for gaming. Basically it should be able to play most if not all games at best settings. I've built PCs before but I haven't kept up to date with the latest trends.. Searched around so I sort of have an idea of what's recommended, but I would still like some feedback.
Anyway here goes:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: soon. by next week if possible.
BUDGET RANGE: around $1500. I don't mind going over, but only if there's a good reason to.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: speakers, OS. (I will probably use Windows 7 64 bit)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg or other.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: No real preference. Should I go Intel or AMD? if Intel i5 or i7?
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe. If I get a good card, do I need to SLI or Crossfire?
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200
---------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I was thinking:
Intel Core i5-750 $195 Processor
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 $140 after rebate Asus motherboard
or GigaByte GA-P55-UD4P Gigabyte Motherboard
GIGABYTE GV-N460OC-1GI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB $230 Vid Card
G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO - Retail $103 RAM
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA $75 HDD
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W $100 after rebate PSU
COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel $90 Case
Monitor I have 2 22" monitors already but can consider a new one.
Anything else I need?
Totals to around $933( with the asus board) without shipping so far
As you can see I'm thinking Intel (mainly cause that's what I'm used to), do I need i7? For i5 or i7 which mobo would you recommend? Lastly for a video card, would a GTX460 play everything these days? Would it be better to get a higher end card (you know for future games... so I don't need to change soon)?
THanks in advance.
