I am looking to build a computer solely for gaming.
I write programs, but I do not need it to run any high end compilers.
I play mostly WoW, BF3, and Starcraft II (D3 eventually)
I raid a lot, and my "gaming laptop" really took a dip when a lot of things came on screen during Cataclysm.
I am willing to shell out as much as $900 for a computer including the cost of an HD Monitor.
Goal:
-WoW at 30+ fps in 25m raid on HIGH or better. Ability to render WoW water.
-Ability to handle many units on screen in SC2 on HIGH or better.
-BF3 on HIGH or better.
I would also like:
Upgradeability--as time goes on I'd be willing to drop more cash into the system.
Things I Am Unsure Of:
-AMD or Intel??
-Why HDD cost so much money, and do I need an SSD and an HDD.
-Is DVI as good as HDMI?
-Bottom mounted PSU rigs, can they be put on a carpeted floor?
I don't need windows 7, I have copies provided by work.
I'd like to order on Amazon or NewEgg (Pref Amazon, Free 2 days shipping ^_^)
Anything else I should include, please tell me.
