Well, I just got a 23inch lcd as a gift, and it runs at 1920x1080. My current rig is a dual core with an 8600GT, which is definatately struggling to keep up, it can barely play TF2 at this res. So that means time for a new computer!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming, Source engine, FC2, Crysis, SupCom, newer games.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
About ~1000 without tax/shipping, can go a little over, but try not to.
3) Where do you live?
Maine
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
Everything, whole new rig.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Nothing really, just a spare backup HD.
6) Will you be overclocking?
A little most likely.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
23 inch LCD, 1920x1080
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
within a month
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Nothign special here, SLI/CF support would be nice for the future though.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes
Ive done some looking on my own and was looking at a P2 945, 6gb ram, 4890, but am looking to see what you guys can come up with.
Thanks!
