Hello everyone. I am currently deployed and would like to build a computer while I am here possibly. It depends how much time I end up having. I may end up waiting until I return to the states but in case I do it out here I want some advice.
I was on newegg for about two days looking at components and cases and I finally admitted to myself that there is a good portion that I dont even know the differences in. So I turn to you for the experianced advice.
Approximate Purchase Date: In two weeks or so.
Budget Range: $1,000 stretchable to $1,200 if need be. After Rebates, After Shipping. This is for components and case only.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Playing MMO's namely SWTOR at the highest settings possible with at least a 40 FPS rate./ Internet surfing/ Movie watching
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: New build from the ground up.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Not in this budget)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preferance just want reliable and best price.
Location: Deployed Location. All will be ordered online.
Parts Preferences: From what I have heard Intel trumps AMD but I honestly don't know.
Overclocking: Maybe (Don't know how.)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe I don't know what this is really. This is my first build attempt ever and I am here to learn.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (I will be purchasing a second monitor on a separate budget of the same definition as I want to dual screen.)
Additional Comments: I would like to have a little flash but it can wait until later if need be.
I am currently playing SWTOR on an old laptop at low/med setting at about 19-23 FPS
I may start playing WoW again but I understand that SWTOR is more demanding of a game on components anyway.
That is the most demading stuff that I do. I want to be able to dual screen playing SWTOR and browing the internet simultaneously.
Why Are You Upgrading: My only computer has been a $1,200 laptop I bought three years ago and just isn't cuttin it anymore. I have wiped it and reloaded Window's 7 on it and even after a fresh wipe I can tell the performance has been deeply decreased from new.
Thanks to anyone who helps me out. I look forward to learning and building my first computer!
