Need Help

To get this started you will to let us know what resolution you will be gaming at and what your budget is for starters.

If you gonna build yourself, get ready for some headache and lot of trouble shooting

but building the pc itself is very fun, the bsods and other problems that come afterwards are not fun

but like Sodius said, we need to know your resolution, good resolution to you might be different to us.

you want to play at your monitors native resolution.

well telling you what gpu to get for 1200 x 1000 and higher res are gonna be different, so you want us to config a system for 1200 x 1000 res?

the higher the resolution the better the details.

1200 x 1000 is the lowest res, 1900 x 1200 is a good/great res, 2560 x 1600 is the best res between those 3 resolutions.

of course at 2560 x 1600 you are looking at a 30" monitor and that monitor will cost $1200 or more.

I'm thinking you are a big confused about how resolution works.

your resolution is whatever your monitor can do.

having said all that, you want us to config a system for a monitor that has 1200 x 1000 resolution or are you planing on getting a newer/bigger monitor that will have a higher res?

if you are getting a new monitor with a higher res then please let us know the resolution/size of that monitor, so we can give you the right configuration.

if you are still confused then ask as many questions as you like.

19" monitor probably means 1600 x 1200 res.
