    15 replies, posted
Ok guys I'm giving you all a little more to work your magic with than posts in the past. My budget is in the $1100 range for a gaming PC that I am building myself and I need you guys to help me pick out the parts. (but the processor will be intel). I already have a windows 7 64 bit ultimate OS and I already have a monitor, so no need to worry about those. I will be buying all of my parts from newegg.com and any recommended newegg combo deals would be fantastic! All of your help will be greatly appreciated!
So you're wanting a KB and mouse?
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30421041]So you're wanting a KB and mouse?[/QUOTE] oops, that was a fail on my part. no sorry all I need is what does the "computing" sorry not really sure how to put it.
What resolution is your monitor?
[QUOTE=acid;30421229]What resolution is your monitor?[/QUOTE] *sigh* well right now I am going to be using a 3 year old imac as the monitor but I will buy a real one later.
lol just buy a PC for $900 then, and get a 1080p monitor with it.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30421324]lol just buy a PC for $900 then, and get a 1080p monitor with it.[/QUOTE] *BIG SIGH* well I am not wanting to build my own because I want a gaming machine, I am also doing it for the experience of working on my own computer and understanding it on that level. Plus if I tried to just buy a prebuilt I would have to buy it myself without any "educational purposes funding from the family"
uh what? I meant buy all the parts for a PC for $900 and a monitor for ~$200, my PC was only around $700 and it has an i5 2500k and a GTX 460, I can run Crysis maxed at 1080p with at least 2xAA, you can make a great PC with $900.

I'm just wondering if that's okay with you, don't want to build a $1100 build when you decide layer you want a monitor. Just trying to get out what you want exactly before I spend time doing this. I'll do a $1100 build with a monitor.

Spend less on the ram, get something like G.Skill Ripjaws 1333. You won't notice 1333 vs 1600
[QUOTE=Armotekma;30432280]Spend less on the ram, get something like G.Skill Ripjaws 1333. You won't notice 1333 vs 1600[/QUOTE] but how is the kit overall?
It's OK. Also get a Spinpoint F3 instead of the seagate
Stay away from seagate. Also, if you are looking for a decent monitor still, I'd recommend [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009266[/url] I've got 3 of them and they're pretty amazing for the price.
