    Posted: 27 Jun 2010 at 8:39pm
Okay, I am not a big PC guy.  I lived with Laptops my whole life, from my HP to my ASUS gamer that I have now.  The technology has advanced so its time to move up, hoping to create a PC instead of laptop for once.  DS is the place the be I heard, so here I am.  Budget is around 2000$, more or less, and I was going to use my 32 inch display for my screen but that seems a bit much on my eyes
-.-
Looking to play bf bad company 2, and all the new games coming out on extreme graphics.  (upgrading because i can barely play bf bad copmpany 2 on low graphics :O ).  Would need one of the wireless plug in thingys too.
 
So maybe you guys can help with a configuration for me! Much appreciated in advance.

hm if your getting a new monitor u should get a 24" ips panel like a delu2410 or something but if not im still going to assume your going for a 1200x1200 or similar so for that build and if u wanna max most games out i suggest changing a few things from ur config both to save money and for performance:

1: Im not sure about mobo's but i see that most recommend the EVGA LE mobo for most set ups but u got the XFX which is like 11 dollers off or more than the LE so dunno bout that but yea maybe change that, i doubt thered b a difference though but evga has good customer support

2: you dont need the 2000 ram for gaming, its a waste that you wont see a big difference in, drop it back to 1600 DS certified.

3: change power supply to corsair for better quality

4: Change the cooler to the noctua D14 since u saved a bit of money already form the ram

5: Oh yea i forgot, since your going air cooling i suggest changing the case too to a HAF 932 for better airflow

6: Get the memory fan kit, helps n not too much money

7: Get windows pro if you can afford the extra 32 bux after everything for backwards xp compatability

8: As for the displays, i think you would be able to get a better one than from DS, you should try to get a IPS panel like i said, should go look at the forums to see if there is a aforadable one for you

9: As for HDD if what you have is good for you then it should be fine, but in the future(probably at Q4 of this year) Intel should be releasing their updated SSD's in which the older SSD's should drop in price so you should pick one of those up later on to add it to your rig for OS/apps/main games you play

10: ughhh not rly a change much either for this but yea maybe the evga 480 for their step up program and better support :P

Hope i said everything there is to be said but if you got any more questions just ask n the forum guys should help ya out
