Hi, im new and want to try building my own gaming pc for gaming high end if possible within my price range. im just not sure what to put though. any suggestion and advice is appreciated. thanks in advance.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: maybe within a month or two
BUDGET RANGE: i want to try keep it below 1000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: mainly gaming, surfing web, movies, downloads, etc general
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'm leaning more towards intel like the i5 sandy bridge
OVERCLOCKING: maybe in the future.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: not sure yet havent decided but would like at least a 21" minimum
Here's what i sort of put together:
Case: Antec 900

CPU: i5 sandy bridge
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271
GPU: Radeon HD 6850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908
PSU: OCZ ModstreamX pro 700W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018
Memory: G.Skill 8gb (2x4gb)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
Hard Drive: Samsung 1TB F3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
Monitor: 23.6" Asus
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052
DVD burner: Asus 24X burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Total comes to be about $1,030 or so.
but after MIR it should be around $960 or so.
If you can suggest anything to be replaced without something better or cheaper or even more convenient wise. Please do so. I want to try keep things lower on price due to budget. I want to be able to play majority of games today on high end settings like skyrim, diablo 3, starcraft 2, etc.
