Hello everyone.
Im a new guy here, so be kind.
You've probably come across 10000 forums like this one,
ive read basically all of them and some of them have helped me.
i want to do a full upgrade on my existing computer for around $800 – $1000.
i was thinking a sandy bridge build, cuz EVERYONE suggested them on other forums.
or should i wait till AMD's bulldozers (i guess i could wait, its only about 15 days till there released) but then i have to pick out a new MBoard and CPU... and im lazy
I've done around 3 months researching on what to get and its driving me crazy.
anyway here are my current specs:
Motherboard:
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H
CPU:
Intel Core i3 540 LGA 1156 @ 3.07GHz (stock cooler)
Graphic Card
ATI Radeon 4870 1gb
PSU
coolermaster 750W
RAM
2x2gb ripjaws 1600
CASE:
CoolerMaster 690 11 advanced
HDD:
Western Digital 1TB
OS:
WINDOWS 7 pro 64-bit
(if i have missed again, please post it)
Now, i want a good gaming computer (doesn't have to be the best.... yet) i want it to run BF 3, SKYRIM!!! COD MW3 Metro 2033, mass effect 1,2,3 half life.. CSS!!! Crysis 1,2 (all on high). i wont be SLIing and probably not Xfire (is that what they call it for 2 or more ATI GPU's hooked up?) i want to have 3, possibly a 4 display ( one 27", 2x24" and the new dell ultrasharp (comming out Q3 of 2011) 23".If you guys could suggest another monitor(s)I want the monitors to be LED between 22-24" have to have VESA wall mounting (perfer 100x100mm) and around $200-$230 (24") $300-$500 (27")
i want to buy off amazon, and umart. thats it. no other websites please
(no newegg, cuz i live in Australia) things i don't need:
OS
keyboard
mouse
headset
mousemat
speakers
(again, if ive missed anything, tel me)
This i should tel you:
Has to be LGA 1155 motherboard/CPU
1333 ram (cuz its cheaper)
22"-27" monitor LED and VESA wall mount
possible good colours for a tn panel
i dont really care about 2 graphics cards in my computer
i want to max out 16gb in the future AND I DONT CARE IF THATS AN OVERKILL I WANnA BEAT ALLL MY FRIENDS
also, i want to get a 2gb graphics card ( ill only be running just one one of my 24" or 27" when i get it, i dont know about multiple screens (should i just get 3x24" and do that? and +1 to future proofing, i don't wanna upgrade for another 2-3 years.
