Hello all,
I had been looking at iBuyPower and Cyberpower, but kept seeing comments suggesting people to check out Digital Storm, so now I am here
I am looking for a gaming rig for my fiance. He is currently running on a 3 year old laptop and spends more time complaining about slow load times and mediocre graphics than playing, so I figured it was a good time to upgrade. I just built my own gaming rig back in January, but due to a lot of difficulty dealing with RMAs and other build problems, this time I want a custom built rig that I don't have to worry about the building part.
Budget: Hoping to stay around $1500, including monitor and Windows 7, not including any other peripherals.
Expectations: Basic gaming rig, can run Star Wars: The Old Republic on highest settings. SSD for load times. Single monitor setup, no need for SLI.
Usage: Gaming, mostly SW:ToR and LoL. Web surfing, light DVD/video watching.
Some must haves:
Solid State Drive as main boot drive, minimum 120GB, 1TB 7200 RPM data hard drive.
Monitor shouldn't be smaller than 20 inches or larger than 24 inches.
Mostly looking at GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570.
Either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, preferably 1600.
Green is his favorite color, if that can somehow be worked into the case, that would be a plus, but not a deal breaker.
Also, where is the configurator? I found a place to load a configuration, but not a place to make one. Otherwise I probably would have tried to make my own build before running to the community.
Thanks in advance
