So I'm looking into building yet another computer. This is going to take some work, because of all the requirements. But I think with everyone help, I can make it happen.
Requirements: Case, Motherboard, Powersupply, CPU, CPU Fan, CPU Heatsink, Video Card, Memory, Harddrives, DVD Player, DVD Burner, Fan Controller, Mouse, Mousepad, Keyboard, and Monitor.
Budget: $2000.00
Some things I would like to get out of this PC:
1. Stability is number one in my book. There is nothing that annoys me more then crashing during something important. Such as playing a game, or downloading a song. I want to make sure that everything is compatable, and as long as all the parts are working, with no defectives it should run smoothly and without error.
2. I do not plan on overclocking this system until it becomes part of the lower end of the technology spectrum. I have found from my experience that OC'ing gives minor gains in real life preformance. It is not very noticable in real life preformance, however if you are benchmarking I can understand.
3. Nice case, relativly large to make work easy and manage wires. I do not like to see many wires, and I don't like crammed cases. I like a very clean look.
4. I want to be able to play the latest games smoothly and fast. I am a big fan of playing Online Multiplayer games, and I need to keep 60 FPS minimum. That seems to be the fine line between smoothness, and where you can start actually seeing decrease in preformance.
5. I want to be able to burn DVD's, CD's
6. Definitly need to be able to surf the internet
7. I am going to Penn State for college next year, and HDD space from what I hear is a big thing. With a nice college connection and network. You can chew through GB's like nothing. At least from what I hear... I would like a acceptable amount of space for college.
8. I need to be able to transport this computer. My friends and I like to LAN between the 4-5 of us here and there. I am a big guy, and weight is not really a issue... it just makes it less of a pain. My computer moves every other sunday in the car due to my parents being divorced. Monitor and all. I used to have to move a large steel alienware which weighted probably near 80 pounds. It began to become a hassle. However when college comes keep in mind my computer will most likly be stationary for the most part.
9. The quietness of the PC is something that is a concern. I don't need something that is completly soundless, however it would be nice. But I don't want a vacuum in my room.
Thats mostly all I do with my PC. I like to game, and use it for whatever comes up. Games, movies, music, browsing, research papers etc. Nothing out of the ordinary.
So I'm asking for your help in some opinions and advice to meet my goals and requirements and I'll see what I can come up with.
