First build - Any last thoughts or comments?
Last response: in Systems
Hey guys Im new to posting in these forums so please don't flame me if I do something wrong.
So basically I've been researching different parts for a build I wanted to make, and I think I have it down. I just want to clear it and make sure I'm not missing anything and I also wanted to see other peoples opinions and alternatives in case there's anything better out there, while staying in my budget.
I also decided to give the format for the *How To Ask For New Build Advice* post a shot in case it would help any.
Heres the link to my wish list, what do you guys think?
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx...
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as I get the required funding ( Monday or Tuesday hopefully)
Budget Range: ~1000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and Movies
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Nothing particular as long as it has decent quality
Overclocking: Maybe in the future
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future
Monitor Resolution: Not sure, wiring to my 1080p hdtv
Additional Comments: Need to have a window and lots of bling - lol. I prefer full tower cases.
