Hey guys!
So this will be my first official gaming PC. I'm looking for a gaming rig that will be able to run BF3 at high settings on a 1900x1200/1900x1080 resolution monitor. Willing to wait a little for Q1 components to become available. Also would prefer this rig to be pre-built, although if someone can give me a rundown of the cost effectiveness of home building it (I'm quite a noob at that) that would be splendiferous.
Approximate Purchase Date: March-April 2012
Budget Range: $900-$1000 total, although I might go up to $1100 if it's absolutely neccessary
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, downloading content, surfing the internet, watching movies
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: anything to keep more cash in my wallet
Country: US of A
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: Maybe? If it is easily doable and will not compromise stability, then yes.
SLI or Crossfire: no
Monitor Resolution: (1920x1080/1920x1200) depends on the kinds of monitors you guys recommend
Additional Comments: Must be able to run Battlefield 3 at great settings, must be able to run Traktor Pro (DJing software), rig must be reliable and stable. I know upgrades of a lot of this hardware are becoming available Q1 2012 and I'm willing to wait up until mid april or so before purchasing.
Thank you guys so much!
