New Computer need help

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

   I dont have the best knowledge of computers so i figured i'd ask people who know alot more than me.  I'm looking to build a system for as close as i can get to $3800. I'll be playing games with a 1900x1200 resolution.  

i originally planned on spending around $3000 and came up with this http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadsaved.asp?id=275855

but i decided i could spend another $800, but don't know what to change or add to the configuration above.

Please help me out

	my computer wont let me see what you configured with digital storm..but for 3k you can build yourself one sweet system..with maybe not the top of the line intel proc..but a pretty good one none the less....close ...if the not top of the line vid card...with a full tower case...if you want water cooling add 500.00 more..and if you want anything other than onboard sound..you may have to trade off on the vid card..for a sound card..but that would be your choice..i have spent 2800.00 and build one in october with a quad core processor and top amd vid card..im now putting in water cooling..for 500.00 more..sure the latest parts cost more..check out new egg.com..they have good prices and fast service..good luck to you...

	If I were you, I would get: -HAF case instead -Second HD for storing media stuff -Get 275 instead for gpu -Stage 3 LC the cpu only But that's just me... :] DST should be able to put together a good build for you.
