Hi there,
I have been considering creating a custom built computer for some time and have spent the last few weeks researching the different components that are out there and which would be the right ones for me. As I do not have a massive understanding of computer hardware (only the basics), I am relying on friends and forums such as these for the best advice before I make my purchase. I'm aiming at around the 600-800GBP (Great British Pounds, translating to roughly 900-1100 USD) to purchase a system capable of running the latest games (mainly RPGs) such as; SWToR, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, World of Warcraft, and perhaps Battlefield 3 smoothly and efficiently. This is the current system I have devised within my budget, and would really appreciate any support that you may offer;
Case; The Coolmaster HAF 922
CPU/Processor; AMD Phenom II x2 565BE
Motherboard; ASUS M5A87: AM3+ Platform
Graphics Card; AMD Radeon HD 6770
Memory (RAM); Samsung Dual-DDR3 1333mhz (2x4GB)
Hard Drive; 1TB Sata-II 3.0GB/s Hard Drive with 32GB Cache (7,200 rpm)
Power Supply; 450 Quiet 80 plus Dual Rail PSU
Processor Cooling; ECO II ALC
Operating System; Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Ideally, I would love to be able to connect this desktop to a wireless network for convenience issues. Assuming it is possible to have a wireless connection, would you recommend it or is cable a faster connection? I'd like to make my purchase within the next week or so, although I am in no hurry for Christmas as this is something for myself.
Cheers,
Matt
