First DS PC - ~3k$

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   This PC is going to be mostly used for gaming @ 2560 x 1440 or 1920x1080.  Will be playing mostly MMOs(Rift, TERA) and SC2 though I will probably try out Crysis 2 and D3 along with many others I'm sure.  I intend to play most games at high to ultra settings but I don't want to spend the money it would take to upgrade my PSU and another video card for SLI.  Max AA isn't a big deal to me as I have a hard time telling between 2 and 8x anyhow, could change if I got with the 27" monitor though.

Open to suggestions but don't plan to spend more than a few hundred more dollars max.
