Hello everyone, my name is shady. Im new to this website and pc building. I really want to build a gaming rig/multimedia production computer. I know about some things while some others require you guys help me ( thus why i am here ).
First off what this PC is going to be used for from MOST to LEAST: Gaming,Video/Multimedia editing,3D motion graphics,Photo editing(photoshop),Surfing the web,homework
Preferred Sites: Newegg, Frys
CPU:
For the cpu i might go with a Phenom II 1035t/1090t Black Edition 6x. Although i might switch to a 950 i7 Quad Core (for $60 dollars more) although i dont know how this would effect the system.
GPU:
For the graphics card im going with an ATI Radeon 5770 (or less/more) but you guys can still recommend me a different video card. I will want to be playing Call of Duty 4 at max settings and maybe MW2 and CSS. Also if i get this video card what kind of power supply should i get? and what PSU should i get if i will be switching to dual GPUs in the future?
PSU:
I have no idea. I want it to support my system (obviously) and allow me to add another video card in the future.
Memory:
I already have 2x 2GB Patriot 4-4-4-12 800Mhz DDR2. Although i might take some 8GB or 6GB recommendations.
Motherboard:
I have no idea. Ive herd Asus is good but dont know where to start. I guess you guys can recommend one based on what i said above.
Casing:
Something that can keep my PC cool at all times. Preferably with in an intake and exhaust fan. I also want the side to be clear with neon lights ( for the cool look )
CPU cooler:
also have no idea where to start. I heard Corsair is good. I need something to cool my CPU and cool it well.
Hard drive:
500gb+ is good. I will not use over 1TB though.
DVD writer/burner:
Anything that i can buy with remaining money as i have an external one.
Display/Keyboard/Mouse:
I already have all of these, and my display is 1920x1080.
OS:
Windows 7 Home Premium/Professional. ive seen them for $100- around websites
Im guessing thats all i need. Tell me if i missed something. Anyways with your guys help id probably be done soon. Thanks!
