Hello all,
It has been about 3.5-4 years since I built a new system. Old one is still running nice (good old GA-P965-DS3) but it is time for something a bit faster.
I need to do this less than $1500.00 and less than that even if I can. I really want to be able to play Starcraft 2 and be able to stream out to USTEAM or LIVESTREAM at the same time. I can play SC2 'ok' on my current rig but if I try to encode and stream at the same time it gets ugly. Aside from SC2 I play WoW occaisonally and work from home sometmes (Cisco soft phone, Citrix, etc.). Working from home is no problem on current rig so not worried about that.
I am striving for a nice speed increase over my current rig which is a GA-P965-DS3, Intel E6400, 2 gig ram, GTX 260 768mb.
I may try to overclock a bit, if I can get to 3.5ghz I would be ecstatic.
So here is what I came up with, commentary\suggestions would be appreciated (this is $1204.00 shipped):
