So I just got a job and trying to build a new computer. I want to reuse some of the parts that I bought last year, which are:
PSU - Corsair CX430v2
GPU - EVGA 01G-P3-1361-KR GeForce GTX 460 FPB Video Card - 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0 (x16), 2x Dual-Link DVI-I, 1x Mini-HDMI, DirectX 11, Dual-Slot, SLI Ready
Approximate Purchase Date: End of this month or next month.
Budget Range: ~500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, motherboard, RAM, maybe HDD, and case.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Tigerdirect, amazon.
Location: California
Parts Preferences:
I prefer using Intel CPUs but I would consider a AMD black edition so I can unlock to 6 cores.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution:I just bought a Asus VS247H-P which is 1920x1080.
Dual monitoring with Samsung syncmaster 940bw which is 1440x900
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Many programs do not run smoothly, since I currently have a core 2 duo processor computer and 2 gbs of ram, can't really open up multiple applications at once.
