Hi!
Next year in february I finally get some money, my grandfather passed me some twenty years ago. 1000€ of it will go straight into a new rig, the one I hope you help me build. : )
Approximate Purchase Date: End of February 2011
Budget Range: 1000€ / 1400$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (newest, best looking stuff, I'm a graphics whore
), Workstation, Watching Movies (1080p, BlueRay), Surfing and stuff
Parts Not Required: Displays, speakers, mouse, keyboard, external harddrive, USB-hub, headset
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I like "Alternate.de" alot, fastest shipping, most reliable and premium-service - BUT only german. But I will be able to find the parts you point me at on my own.
Country of Origin: Germany
Parts Preferences: I used only Nvidia as long as I can think, apart from the first gcard being a 3DfxVodoo one. But if you say ATI is really really better, I'd go with that. Same goes for Intel/AMD and any other brands. Size of cased is unimportant, but it should be black and shiny. I want to use two displays, so dual DVI should be possible.
Overclocking: No, I'm too much of a chicken for that... I learned, that your parts go bad faster, doing it!
SLI or Crossfire: No, too much specific problems arising with not that much additional power.
Additional Comments: Quiet PC is a must, I leave it on over the night for doing stuff (rendering) and would like to sleep next to it. At least 4 Gb RAM, 6Gb would be cool. Are SSD's useful at this stage? SSD for OS only (around 80-100Gb) or is a "big" one with 500Gb a good investment, considering there relatively new and being developed fast at the moment?
Thank you all very much in advance for any useful tipp and comments...
Even for the unuseful, if it's funny enough.
