Topic: Need a gaming systemPosted: 23 Feb 2011 at 5:16pm |

Budget:
$2500ish I have the monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. Only need the PC. Expectations: Play MMO Rift at max settings @ 1920x1080 -Maybe Crysis etc. Usage: 100% gaming Special Needs: I would like the corsair 700D chasis and stick with one video card. With the D14 cooler, can this be overclocked to stage 2 safely? I also like Corsair as a brand as I've had them in other systems with great success. However, if there are better options I'm open to suggestion. Saved Ticket #: 489124 Any comments would be appreciated. Edited by JuanOrez - 23 Feb 2011 at 5:41pm |

why the 700D? it does not have the best airflow.

This is essentially a mirror of the build recommendation that I got from DST, with the minor exception of the GPU, which he recommended I went with the 560 Ti instead of the 570, which I originally thought was best.
Otherwise, the build recommended looks strong from here. |
