Hello,
I am planning on ordering some parts to build a new pc for under 1300-1500. Im starting from scratch and am not sure what sites are best for large orders and decent prices. What kind of heat sinks should i use since i am primarily worried about the entire thing overheating. Should I overclock my new computer right away as I will look more into parts that allow for oc if oc would be better. Or should I only oc later on. In both cases, what are reliable companies for each part (ie, heatsink, fans, ram, cases, dvd/cd drives,motherboard, and anything else)
Well, some gaming; mostly mmorpgs ex wow and battleforge; will not be a strictly gaming though some part time web browse, email, watch videos dvd (not blue-ray) and of course youtube while multitasking (i will most likely have dual monitors about 17-20in),not video editing though; some computer programming, listen to music(stored on external hard drive); i mostly want it to run fast and crisp for games and videos though
have mouse and keyboard
i have an external harddrive can i use this also instead of an internal one(or will this hurt preformance)
im thinking about going two monitors
im not sure if i should go with one good graphics card or two
(is there a way to switch the two cards from sli or cf so they work on one computer when gamming and back individually to each monitor when not)
i think i want an i7950 but maybe would go to an AMD
i have an nearby microcenter
are six cores really worth it or not should i stick with 4
Everyone does not have to answer all of the questions; any help is appreciated whether it is with the build or just the other questions
ps I love to learn any insight is appreciated
