Hello everyone
Thanks to tomshardware for providing a valuable site. I have spent the last 3 months learning about computer builds and parts from here..
I intend to build a computer this week
My budget is under $800.
90% gaming 10 % internet. FPS games like BF3
I dont require case, keyboard , mouse , router, monitor, speakers, or GPU ( got 2x gtx 275 )
I will buy localy in the south western area of Western Australia, Fremantle / Rockingham. I have checked prices around Australia and postage is a killer .
No brand preferance
No overclocking . Im a tinkerer, ie I play with something till it breaks. I CAN NOT be trusted !
I wish to sli my gtx 275s for a tinker
. If i have to much trouble with them, I will swap them for a gtx 660 . The gtx 660 is not included in this budget.
My screen resolution is 1650 by 1080.
