Approximate Purchase Date: (Today or tomorrow)
Budget Range: ($700-850) Before / After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (Gaming, mainly Racing Sims)
Parts Not Required: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (newegg.com)
Country: (US)
Parts Preferences: AMD Video Card, Mid Size Tower
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: (Currently I have a 32" Samsung Flat Panel mounted to my racing rig. It's only 720p, I plan to upgrade to a 1080p later on)
Here's what I've got saved in a Newegg shopping cart. I plan on using this only for racing sims. Let me know what your opinions are and what should be changed or if this is good. I had a budget of $650 or so but that was blown up when I decided to go with the AMD 7850 video card. Any advice would be much appreciated. BTW, I'm using a Carriage Works VRC 1000 rig and a single monitor mount (for now) with a 32" Samsung flat panel. Thanks!
