Well its time to upgrade from my old 2.8 ghz P4 with 1 gb of ram and the Radeon 9800 pro that I bought years back.
Im looking to spend under a grand. Want something that would play crysis with decent graphic settings (so obviously I will be gaming). Besides that, pretty much just listening to music and surfing the net.
Here is what I will need: Case, Power Supply, Ram, Motherboard, Video Card, Computer Speakers, Mouse, Keyboard, CPU, Operating System, DVD ROM/ Burner. Also want something that wont run too loud (My computer fans are makin me go crazy right now).
I have no brand preference, looking to build within the next month. I will be using my hard drives ( 120 gig internal plus 250 gig external), monitor and sound card. I have not researched any other threads yet, but will do so. I will be buying parts within US
I heard intel had some recent price cuts btw. I know you guys are better at this that I could ever be, thanks for the help :beer:
EDIT:
SO my desktop computer finally died, so I will be building myself a new system this week. Anyone have any other recommendations other than what was posted in thread?
