Hey everyone long time no talk I know but I finally got a new job and stuff so yay money slowly coming back in
and I have decided to start saving up to build a new computer but I am having some issues with choices to be made.
I don’t wanna spend 3k on a machine
I am not overly sure how to build from ground up though I have the basic idea with the exception on where and how the new multiple processors work and how to place them if it’s any different than a single core machine
Looking for enough power to play games like Left4Dead and Fallout 3 though my major gaming time is dedicated to RPG’s still and looking at the new Star wars mmo The Old Republic
so I need to be able to run them and if it can handle them it will be fine handling my Photoshop, video and music editing I do as well I figure
I have started some browsing and piecing together a machine via Tigerdirect.com but I’m also questioning getting a Mac…..
EVGA P55 LE Motherboard - $169.99
Intel Core i7 920 Processor - $279.99
OCZ PC3-10666 Platinum RAM - $95.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB Hard Drive - $64.99
EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Video Card - $199.99
EVGA GeForce 9600 GSO Video Card - $69.99
CoolerMaster HAF 932 Full-Tower Case - $139.99 (really love this case
)
Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply - $69.99
I have an older 5.1 soundcard on my other desktop that I am debating if it’s worth switching around or not and I also am still in search for a nice LCD monitor thinking 22†or so widescreen HD so on so forth
So that it is all the parts listed are found on Tigerdirect.com it’s based off a barebones kit they are offering with a processor switch on my part so lists suggestions and reasons for suggestions would be awesome
Thanks
