I've done about 2,3 days research for the what I want in a new computer.
I want a computer for the next 6 years- when I will graduate college. It should be able to play current games at max settings easily, as well as be able to be used for school work for low intesity work programs.
After my preliminary research, I've come up with this build:
Approximate Purchase Date: (e.g.: this week (the closer the better))
Budget Range: $800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Run games competently for the next few years, able to do low intesity college for for next 6
Parts Not Required: OS
Country of Origin: Grand Fenwick... don't care really, as long as its quality.
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: nope
SLI or Crossfire: what is this?
Monitor Resolution: 1440x900
_______________________________
CPU: Sandy Bridge 2500k
Video Card: ATI Gigabyte 6870 1GB
RAM: 2 x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance
MotherBoard: Gigabyte Ga-P67 D3-B3 Rev 1.1
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint 2TB Internal
Monitor: HP S2031-20" LCD Display
OS: I think I can scrounge up a windows 7 liscense around here somewhere
Disc Drive: LiteOn BD-ROM
Case: ???
If there are any glaring problems in here, such as lacking important parts, or I am using unpopular models, please let me know, thanks!
