Hi,
Looking forward to buy a gaming pc soon. I have most of the components figured out and would appreciate it if you guys have any advice or suggestions over my build..
I'm new to building my own PC but i've been looking around some forums to get the rough idea. One of my concerns is that i dont know if i can build this PC myself since i've never done or even try it before. But other forums say its pretty straight forward. Planning to follow the newegg guides for assembling the PC. What do you guys think about this?
Approximate Purchase Date: soon, latest by february
Budget Range: $1000 - $1500 rather tight budget so the lower might be better. But still im more concern about the quality over price issue.
System Usage from Most to Least important: games (COD, maybe BF3, and the coming diablo 3)
Parts Not Required: speakers, keyboards and mouse. Well i only have mouse right now, i think i know what im getting for keyboard, but suggestions are more than welcome.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com or maybe tigerdirect and amazon. Cmparing these 3 sites for the better deal.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: intel, not sure bout case.
Overclocking: maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: i like a quiet PC. My current laptop is buzzing like crazy..
