Topic: Help with desktop selection Posted: 21 Dec 2009 at 3:47pm |
I am looking to buying a new gaming computer and this site was recommended to me. I am not so savvy with building computers and am looking for some guidance in making the right choice.
I mainly play World of Warcraft and am looking for a computer that can put out 60 fps with it at max settings. Also a computer that can run Photoshop and other demanding programs pretty quickly. I may start playing some fps such as call of duty so I would want a computer that could handle games like that as well. Something around the price range of the i7-enthusiast 2 would be good. Help would be greatly appreciated. |

I play WoW at a 1680x1050 resolution and I do enjoy high quality music.
I play on just a single monitor. Edited by venic - 21 Dec 2009 at 6:09pm |

it was the price vs performance, here $20 difference isn't much, before it was much higher. I picked it by accident but I didn't change it cause it was only $20.

How much of a price difference would it be if I wanted WoW to run at 30 fps at max settings instead of 60fps at max settings?

maybe $80 or a bit more, but then you would have a sucky gpu.
how about this: Here you go Ticket# 367168 --- Price: $1687 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $1687 Copy of Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - HAF 922 Exterior Finish: - Not Available Trim Accents: - Not Available Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: EVGA X58 LE Edition SLI (Intel X58 Chipset) (Supports SLI or CrossFire) System Memory: 3GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 750W Corsair TX (Dual SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) Set 1 Raid Options: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 1: Cooler Master V8 High Performance Cooler (Compatible With ONLY i7 Processors) H20 Tube Color:- Not Available Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: - No Thanks Enhancements: - Not Available Chassis Mods: - Not Available Noise Reduction: - Not Available Boost Processor: FREE: Stage 1: Overclock the processor between 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz (Requires Air Cooling Upgrade) Boost Video Card: - Not Available Boost Memory: - Not Available Boost OS: - Not Available Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Restore Kit: Digital Storm Specialized Recovery System (DVD Image Based) Virus Protection: - Not Available Office: - Not Available Benchmarking: - Not Available Install/Test Game: FREE: Please include a free copy of a hot-selling game Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Large) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-10 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty Edited by DST4ME - 23 Dec 2009 at 8:45pm |

I don't think DS has a card low enough to run WOW at 30FPS, it takes very little on the GPU, more CPU dependant.
