Approximate Purchase Date: Probably around the end of the month/first of the year (I'm a college student with
a minimum wage job so I gotta save up a couple more paychecks
)
Budget Range: 600-700 with a (very) little wiggle room
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Mostly gaming (newer games such as Skyrim, BF3, AC3 etc.) as
some multimedia (would like to be able to watch Blurays)
Parts Not Required: Don't need a mouse: Cyborg R.A.T. 7 Keyboard: Simple Logitech and a G13 gamepad
or a monitor: Sony Bravia TV
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com preferably
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: Prefer AMD CPU (seems to be a better bang for your buck) Not much preference on anything
else (don't know much about mobo manufacturers and don't know enough about GPUs to
have a preference between nVidia and AMD
Overclocking: Possibly but if you haven't figured it out yet I don't know a lot about hardware
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe down the road but for now I don't have the budget
Monitor Resolution: I believe the max res on my TV is something weird like 1366 x 780 I'd have to double check
but later on I may look into purchasing an actual monitor that supports 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I started picking out some hardware on newegg but I'm near my budget limit and I still
haven't added a case or cd/dvd burner. I was wanting to get 8GB of RAM but is that just
overkill? I'll link all the parts I picked and would like to hear your suggestions as to what
I can change to reduce the price (or if you pick stuff out from scratch I will be equally
thankful) The closer it is to the lower end of my budget the happier I am but I want to
be able to play a lot of the newer games on the highest (or close to the highest) settings
and maintain 50-60 fps. Thanks in advance for any help here as like I said I don't
completely know what I'm doing (I do know how to put them together I just don't know
what all the benchmarks, ratings, etc. mean)
What I've picked out already: Mobo GPU CPU RAM PSU/HDD
All of that so far totals at 685 with shipping and that doesn't even include a case or cd/dvd drive and it's entirely possible I'm missing other things lol. Again I greatly appreciate any help with this as I'm lost and getting a headache trying to figure out what all these technical specs mean (I'm a programming major so it's probably sad I don't know much about hardware lol)
