Hello all, ive been reading up on this website for a while now(specially the past couple weeks) to get an idea on what to get. I've narrowed it down to a few parts and I'm making this post for advice on what parts may not work to well together or if there's just a flat out better part I'm missing out on(mostly cause im incredibly ignorant to mostly everything with spec's of computers )
Anyways here's an idea of the sum of the comp (as well as the copy&paste template to give a better idea on what I'm going for) as well as a link to the parts ive chosen on pcpartpicker(at the bottom).
Approximate Purchase Date: Asap!
Budget Range: around 2,500$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming all the way!
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: yes, but doing so already
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Location: Oregon
Parts Preferences: just the vid card, which i prefer Nvidia
Overclocking: No, never really.
SLI or Crossfire: not really sure what that is , my is guess no
Your Monitor Resolution: getting something that will be top end not exactly sure, probably 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Looking to have this running games for the next few years(i do my best to take care of my towers to make them last) current aim would be something that plays Arma 3, BF 3 and anything around that to be played at max performance.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: old comp is just to sluggish for the newer games running gtx 460 and one of the first quad cores that hit the market..
here's the Pcpartpicker link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MrAe
and a typed list incase the link for some reason doesn't work
Cpu: Intel i7-3770k
Heatsink: coolermaster Hyper 212
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H
Video card: EVGA Geforce GTX680 2G
SSD: Samsung 840-pro MZ-7PD128BW
Tower case: Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case
Network card: Intel EXPI9301CTBLK
HardDrive: N/A yet. was going to just pick something with a lot of room on it, wouldnt hurt to get advice for it too(just figured its always pretty simple when its the harddrive)
Memory: N/A yet, could use advice
Power supply:N/A " "
What i could use advice on is, what memory sticks and Power supply to get. And if the mother board is a good choice for all the parts. Couple things im really unsure about is the cooler master, i pretty much leave my comp on all day so trying to get something thats going to keep it in good condition for years(and yes i'll obviously be cleaning out the dust inside every now and then to ensure that!) and the SSD, i know it doesn't make gaming faster but the idea of loading times being insanely fast is just appealing to me and i have the money for it. just unsure if its a ridiculous over kill
well that pretty much covers it, hoping I'm not forgetting a obvious question i need to ask. With the incredibly savvy people on these forums I'm looking forward to the replies! and sorry for the sloppy grammar.
