Topic: Mid Tower Box Build Posted: 04 Nov 2012 at 8:55am |
I am currently playing gw2 and would like to upgrade to a new system that can better handle the WvW side of the game. I havent, but will upgrade to a dell 24in screen. I really only use the machine for gaming and not much else other then basic needs. Trying to stay under the $2500 mark since I still need to get the screen. Hopefully when I pull on this the wife will use the laptop and my old rig - lol. Thx Guyz!

Hi ghostplyr,
If your computer budget is $2500 then you can't beat the performance from the ODE-4. Take a look and see what you think.

To expand on FrankW's post, the ODE level 4 is hard to beat.
It has an unlocked i7 CPU that is overclocked higher than the 3820. Dual 670s which will perform better than a single 4GB 680. A SSD and a larger HDD is better than a VelociRaptor drive in my opinion. Additionally, the 240mm cooler will be better than the 120mm. So basically you get a few upgrades but actually spend less. Don't forget to add the free t-shirt, and if you want windows 8 instead of 7 make sure to change that as well. |
