Topic: Config help $2500 budget Posted: 06 May 2010 at 8:07pm |
Ok like many I'm looking for help with a $2,500 spend rate. My primary goal is gaming and I play all the Battlefield games plus Compay of Heroes, Star Craft, and other realtimes. My monitor is LG w2600 digital Flatron- native is 1920 by 1200 and I plan to keep it for many moons.
I want a quiet unit so I'm not sure if WC vs. fans gets me that and at what price but I might be willing to go little higher in cost to get there. I would also like room to grow in the coming years.
Hopefully I gave all the info needed to point me in the right direction. I'm certain I'll buy from DS and within a couple of days.

the LC system here is not quiet, you can make it quiet by spending extra, however even the base LC system here is out of budget, since most of the sound comes from gpu's fans and to LC the gpus you need stage 6 for cpu and one gpu.
