Hello All, I'm currently building a computer for my friend. I'm not expert and my of my knowledge is from here. I've built a system before myself but I'm not that technically inclined to OC. =) Learning though.....
Anyways, This build will be solely for gaming. Wants to be able to Max D3. Single Monitor at 1920x1080. Maybe a secondary monitor but that will be for 2D application and not gaming. So lets get started....his budget is $1200.00 but I can go max out at $1500.00 I really want him to get that GTX680...i know i know..its overkill...but I got one and I love it. LOL
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: A few days
BUDGET RANGE: CDN $1200-$1500 with Rebates
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: WOW, D3, GW2, TERA -a few years future proof
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: http://www.canadacomputers.com (will be going in store for purchase)
PARTS PREFERENCES: Really want Nvidia but ATI is a possibility
OVERCLOCKING: Not at this time, maybe in the future
Not Needed: Monitor, Keyboard, Mice, Headset, Windows OS
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080.
This is the build I have so far: I need recommendation if something can be better and I can save on, but needs to be from Canada Computers or TigerDirect.ca
Few Notes: Will be a fresh build, but he does not need a HDD to store. He has an external drive for music, pictures, date files, etc.
SSD will be boot drive, Office, and WOW, D3, and possibly one more game...I think a 128gig should be enough..but again ur recommendations would be great.
