Hi!
I think I've finally saved up enough money to buy my new gaming rig and finally play Diablo 3!
I've built my own machine before, but I have no idea about anything related to the best parts/whatever, so I'm going to trust all of your extensive expertise. I'm always impressed by this forum. It's wonderful.
Thank you so much!
Andrei.
Approximate Purchase Date:
As soon as possible.
Budget Range:
$1500-$2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming, Watching movies, surfing the net, ripping DVDs.
Parts Not Required:
Monitor, OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Amazon (for fast shipping and points) and Newegg (because Newegg has made me happy so often.)
Country:
USA.
Parts Preferences:
Would like a case without any LEDs (if possible). Ease of entry/ability to insert lots of hard drives (I snapped some SATA cables recently because there was no room for me to maneuver them.) Would like many SATA inputs on the Motherboard. USB3 would also be nice.
I would like 1 smallish (< 200gb) SSD drive just for boot and quicker DVD ripping. I have plenty of big HDDs for the rest of my storage. Please don't factor this into the budget. I have no idea what a good SSD is, all I know is that they're pretty expensive, so I want the best size/cost for general usage.
I also need basic keyboard/mouse/speakers (emphasis on basic) so please don't factor these into the price either.
Overclocking:
I've never done it, but I would totally do it if someone gave me easy to use instructions. I know that's been done here before.
SLI or Crossfire:
Probably will only have 1 video card, so no, unless it's extremely much better for the price.
Monitor Resolution:
1920x1080 or 1920x1200
Additional Comments:
This site is the best thing that's happened to computer buying since I learned that you don't need to go to Dell to buy a stock unmodifiable computer. You are all awesome! I'd be lost without all of your advice.
