New Desktop PC

Post by Shado911 »

Hey VM,
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what PC I should buy or what components you recommend me getting!

I am looking for something that will hold school information, and will run 2 games (WoTLK when its out, and the current buzzed up FPS.) That is really all it has to do, but I want it to do it well. My price range is like 1000-2500 dollars.

Thank you so much guys!

Go with an intel core 2 quad... 2.6Ghz should be fine for you, and they are fairly cheap right now.

I recently built a new system with the following specs for under a grand:

GeForce 8800GTX x1 (might add 1 or 2 more later)
Intel Core2 Quad 2.66Ghz
4GB Corsair Dominator RAM
150GB WD Raptor
XFX Tri-SLI Mobo, its amazing
samsung SATA dvd burner
lian-li case, dont settle for anything less imo.

That should hit your price range, right on the bull's eye.

Bleh, sorry to bother you again bleedo. I was wondering, if you were mentally retarded (like myself) how would you create that PC? What website (if any) would you recommend using to create it, im too stupid to DIY.
