Ok, so i've been doing some shopping around, and i am bad with computers.
I need some help building a new one that is decent and or good for current and a few years down the line. Other computer:
I didn't wanna list most of this other stuff since it's random crap, and did not want to make the thread any bigger than it already is. =========================================================== DS System Configuration:Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Cooler Master Elite 310 Exterior Finish: - Not Available Interior Finish: - Not Available Trim Accents: - Not Available Processor: Intel Core i7 860 2.80GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: EVGA P55 SLI (Intel P55 Chipset) System Memory: 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified by mushkin enhanced (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 700W Digital Storm Certified (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition Recommended) Card Reader: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) Set 1 Raid Options: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: Standard Factory Heat-sink and Fan Liquid Color: - Not Available Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - Not Available Chassis Mods: - Not Available CPU Boost: Stage 1: Overclock the processor between 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz (Requires Air Cooling Upgrade) Graphics Boost: - Not Available Memory Boost: - Not Available Windows Boost: - Not Available Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Restore Kit: Digital Storm Specialized Recovery System (DVD Image Based) Virus Protection: - Not Available Office: - Not Available Benchmarking: - Not Available Pre-Install Game: - Not Available LCD Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-10 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty Total:$1,487.00 ================================================================== So the Diff is just $50.00, i will be using my left over keyboard / mouse etc. Monitor is a 19'' LCD, i currently play WoW (Display settings: 1280x1024 32bit at 75Hz) Dual monitors, and thinking of playing aion, both at max settings. That's all i do with my PC, game(s) and Internet use. I usually have winamp / firefox / xfire / vent / and or some kind of show / anime playing on my other monitor. So i want something that will handle me playing one of those games at max settings, with no FPS lag while in large cities / dungeons and all those other programs running. My budget... $1.5 to 1.7k, thanks for the help / advice. Edited by jp619 - 21 Oct 2009 at 10:05pm |

My pleasure
if you wanted to yes but on this platform you are better off going from 4GB to 8GB, the x58 platform moves in 3GB so that is why its either 3 or 6. you don't need more then 4GB IMO, use the pc if you see you need then upgrade but I doubt you will need it. good luck when you are ready call Sarah at 1-866-817-8676 Extension: 115 and she will set you up
