eVGA P55V Motherboard
Intel Core-i3 CPU
eVGA GT 240 1GB GDDR5 Videocard
Intel X25-V 40GB SSD
4GB Mushkin DDR3 1600 RAM
SeaSonic X650 Gold-certified PSU
I typically don't play with maxed out settings anyways, and I think that with these parts I'll be able to still have a pretty good framerate when playing at a high resolution.
Maximum performance isn't the most important thing to me, see below.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Primarily HTPC, but I also want to be able to play CoD4/WaW, Black Ops when it comes out.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $900, tax/shipping not included
3) Where do you live? Southeast Michigan
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? Maximum silence, minimal heat, maximum energy efficiency
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? 2TB harddrive, case.
6) Will you be overclocking? Potentially in the future
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? Already have a 24"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Within the next month
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Legit Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Thoughts?
