Hi all, I would really appreciate help on a new build. It's been a long time since I left the scene and the last build I made was an athlon X2.. so everything is really different now and I feel kind of lost. Currently I only have a laptop which I use for work, since I need linux on it and it has an integrated graphics (sandy bridge) needless to say my efforts to play (quake live) haven't got me satisfied.
So here goes:
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP i.e. in 1 month time
Budget Range: up to £500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Playing Starcraft 2 (must get 60fps please)
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor and OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any(in the UK)
Country: The UK
Parts Preferences: NVIDIA GPU (will be using cuda for coreavc)
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Saving money is important here, to be clear my three priorities are:
- Playing Starcraft 2 at full res 60fps guaranteed. GPU favored.
- Playing 1080p movies at 60fps (google for avisynth frame doubling). CPU cores are favored here.
- As silent as possible.
Thank you for your help.
