Hello finally got money from Christmas and I am hoping to build a computer that will last me till next Christmas. Anyways here is what I need.
- OS (Windows 7? 64 bit?)
- Keyboard & mouse (These are not absolutely necessary but I would not mind them.)
- Speakers (If I have some money left over can someone find me some good speakers.)
- Whole computer.
I really hope to play the tops games that are out right now. Like arma 2 and gta 4. I also want to be able to run photo shop CS4 and Unreal development kit together. (More ram?)
I will be ordering this with in 5 days or so because I have to run this by my dad who will buy it all for me.
Thanks.
Edit:
US sorry.
Canada or US?

About the speakers.. I love the [url=http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/231&cl=us,en]Logitech Z-2300[/url].. If you don't get enough money for those, then the [url=http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/home_pc_speakers/devices/208&cl=au,en]Logitech X-230[/url] are just fine, I have them.
Do it yourself, it's not that hard. With that price range I would recommend an AMD build as Intel is overpriced as fuck. Go for a cooler master, thermaltake or NZXT case and I would recommend a ATI Powercolor 5770 or an 5850. Remember to go for Quad Core. RAM needs to be maybe 6 Gigabytes DDR3 to run Potatochop CS4 and UDK at the same time.

But I know nothing so don't trust me.

Do you have a gaming headset already? You need one.
Mouse can be any old one.
Keyboard doesn't need to be fancy just have all the norms.
HDD I would recommend a 1tb Seagate SATA which usually go for around $99
[editline]10:34PM[/editline]
Again I know nothing so don't trust me.
[editline]10:36PM[/editline]
Speakers can be cheap just make sure that you have two or more.
[editline]10:37PM[/editline]
For the cases I personally love NZXT.

And you need to remember [B]READ REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING.[/B]

6Gb RAM on a AMD motherboard? It's Dual channel so it'll more likely be 4gb or 8gb. Just get some 1066mhz DDR2 RAM. 2x2gb

It's been used in so many builds, people (including myself) are getting sick of everyone's lack of creativity when picking a case. :colbert:

So that PSU won't have any problems powering it?
that is about 15% more overhead than you need

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;19290375]So this will play Gta 4, Arma 2, and UDK + photoshop CS4 good?[/QUOTE]
I have a 4870, and a phenom ii x3 720.
[i]you[/i] can play the game at stock.
[i]I[/i] can also play the game at stock with good 40+ FPS on 1680x1050 with everything on high and distance at 23.
overclocked i get better fps.
and you're fine with a 5850 AND a quad. Overclock the 5850 to 5870 clocks and get that quad in the higher range.
[QUOTE=nerdygamer;19290375]So this will play Gta 4, Arma 2, and UDK + photoshop CS4 good?[/QUOTE]
will do everything perfect

no phenom x3 is earlier gen than the x4 x4 means 4 cores x3 is 3 cores get an x3 and unlock the 4th core moron its a hell of a lot cheaper than the 200$ equivalent.

The 4th core isn't always unlockable and when it is it's usually unstable. Why do you think AMD locks off the 4th core?
