Well I built my last pc in 2007 and I have to say I am playing Crysis 3 and doing pretty well but I noticed I seem to fit in the minimal requirements.
So I guess it's time to build a new pc.
1) I use my pc for gaming. I play Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, Black Ops 2, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3
oh my ....I play a lot of games. LOL
2) My budget is around $2500.00. If it goes a bit over I can suck it up.
3) I live in California around Sacramento.
4) I plan on keeping my current pc as a spare and starting new with everything.
5) I am not reusing any parts.
6) I don't overclock
7) My monitor's max resolution is 1920x1080 it's an Asus HDMI 27 inch widescreen
8) I will build as soon as I can get the parts.
9) I want a good heatsink for my CPU, I lean toward Intel, and I've always had Asus motherboards although I did try a cheap one once and it was ok.
I have used both Nvidia and ATI Radeon graphics and have been lucky to not have any problems with either.
I use 64 bit windows 7 now and it's legit.
This is what I have now.
Thermalright Ultra-90(K8) CPU Cooling Heatsink
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W
ASUS 5870 EYEFINITY 6/6S/2GD5 Radeon HD 5870
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775
OCZ Fatal1ty RAM = 8 GB
Creative x-fi extreme music sound card
ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA / SE LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard
Silverstone Kublai case
Seagate 1.5 TB SATA HD
Asus 27 inch Widescreen Led Monitor 2Ms Display Port Hdmi Full Hd
using a Logitech G-15 keyboard and an old OCZ Dominatrix mouse
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
It's hot here in the summer. My pc is upstairs and I've never had heat issues.
When I was looking at graphics cards I was paying attention to what people had to say about the Nvidia 400 series and heat.
Thanks in advance for your help.
