Your Monitor Resolution: I have a Samsung tv right now. The model is ln26a450c1d. Screen resolution is 1366 x 768. I’m looking to get either a 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 depending on the price.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I’m coming from a laptop that was bought over 5 years ago. It’s time to upgrade. Looking to play games such as GW2, BF3, and COD BO2 when it comes out on the highest resolution.
The only things I have right now are a keyboard and case. The case I have is the rosewill gear x3 and keyboard is the Logitech g110.
What I’m looking to get right now are:
Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz LGA 1155 Processor-$189.99 at MC
GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard-$99.99 at MC if bought paired with the CPU
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB -$39.99 at newegg
Western Digital WD Blue WD1002FAEX 1TB -$84.99 at newegg
Corsair TX650 V2 650W ATX 12V Single Rail 53A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80PLUS Bronze -$89.99 at newegg. $69.99 after rebate
Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5"-$99.99 at microcenter. $79.99 after rebate
Total right now $609.94 without a gpu. Not sure what to get here. I've been looking at the 7950 670 or 660 ti. Any help picking out a gpu would be appreciated
