Hi all! It's been awhile. I've been grounded, haha. But yeah, I had to hold my rig off for awhile, but now, I think I might want to build my rig soon. I want to play battlefield 2, world of warcraft, HL2, doom3, and the upcoming quake4 and unreal games.
If I were to play at highest setting, what do you reccomend getting that will run it at least 30 fps?
I don't plan on running it at "insane" resolutions though. Maybe I will try it out, but I don't like all of my interface stuff being so small.
Would a 3700+ San Diego or 3800+ venice be best? I don't want to spend over 400 for a processor. I don't really plan on OC'ing my processor right away, but I probably will eventually.
Video card... should I get a 7800? Or wait to see what ATI has to offer? And what the hell is this new Nvidia Intellisample 4.0 on the new 7800 card? I think I will end up waiting though for the prices to drop, and for the Ultra to be released, so the GT version of the card will lower in price, hopefully below $500. $500 is my max really for a video card, so I guess I will be waiting no matter what.
I'm clueless on motherboard, considering I don't know if I am going ATI or Nvidia yet. But other than that. I am pretty much decided on everything else.
So what do you guys think?
