OK, I already posted a question in the video card and graphic section, but this may work better for my questions.
PLEASE when you POST threads asking for input on system builds tell us...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, currently playing Skyrim and Diablo III
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
$300 for the upgrades, up to $400 if a video card is needed.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
No preference
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I already got an SSD. I have a case/power supply/DVD Drive, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers. I may use one of my current video cards, either a 9800GT or a HD4670.
Looking to get a CPU/Motherboard/RAM and possibly video card, or should I get another 9800GT and run SLI?.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default Speeds
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
1600 x 900 is my current monitor resolution
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.
Hoping to buy within a week.
X. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No software needed. Have a copy of Windows 7 pro 32/64 bit and Windows 8.1 pro 32/64 bit.
Currently I am looking at an AMD FX-6300 CPU, MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard, 2 x 4GB RAM. No idea on a video card, if one is suggested over the 9800GT.
