High-End Gaming Rig for around $1000
Last response: in Systems
It's been a few years since my last build and I haven't kept very close tabs on the hardware market. Mostly concerned about the mobo, processor and gfx card. I appreciate the help!
Here's what I'm looking for:
-1TB hd
-intel based mobo
-i5 or i7? cpu...not sure if i7 will fit the budget
-8gb ram
-750+ psu
-dvd, blu ray if it fits the budget
-Good speakers (been using dell w/sub for about...8 years)
would like it to be quiet. i modded my current pc and it sounds like a jet engine...hah
-considering this gfx card
-going with this case
I'm not asking for price checks, more direction on what parts are quality and will last the next 3+ years. Thanks again!
