Starting to plan out my first computer, and my goal is is to run Fallout 3, New Vegas, and the G.E.C.K's on the highest graphics setting on a regular LCD monitor (and some other games maybe, but FO is my main priority). Also, would I be able to to play it on best settings on a 42" 1080p HDTV or would I need a 2 GB GPU for that? Mainly I'm concerned about the graphics card I'm getting: should I get a better one?
Computer parts I'm going to get as of right now:
- Intel i5 2500k
- 8 MB g. skill ripjaws
- EVGA 560 Superclocked (This is my main concern....Should I get the 560 TI Superclocked for $60 more? Should I go lower and get a GTX 550 instead? Or should I go crazy higher GTX 570? I don't want an ATI GPU for this particular build.)
- Intel brand p67 motherboard (Not the Z models since I don't plan to mess around overclocking). I chose Intel since I've read they're very dependable.
- either a regular 320 GB Western Digital or a 128 GB SSD? Price is insanely high for SSD but I heard it's worth it? Would a 128GB SSD be big enough for Windows and the games?
Update:
- 520 Watt Seasonic PSU
