I'm building a gaming PC (right now I'm using a laptop that lags on WoW) and I need help finding the best parts.
Here is what I have so far:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128500
I don't know what the best components are for the rest of the build. (If you have a suggestion to change one of the items I already have please say so)
I'm aiming for $1000 budget and no keyboard, mouse, monitor, or OS are needed. I don't plan on overclocking, but would a after-market CPU cooler still be a good investment? Also, I'm not sure if I will SLI or Crossfire, but if you really recommend it I will listen.
Finally, check out this awesome article about GPUs: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2964-7.html
