• Choosing parts for my build
    2 replies, posted
I'm going to be honest, I'm not as good with computers as I would like to think. I'd definitely appreciate your guys' help on this one. Today I tried to run PlanetSide 2 for the first time only to get massive frame rate lag; even on the lowest settings my computer can't handle this game. I immediately thought 'Hell, looks like it's time for a new computer' I lurked through this section for a bit and tried this PC Part Picker thing, but I'm not feeling too confident. I don't know too much about the compatibility of parts or even what some stats mean for certain parts. (If I didn't know I just assumed the higher the number the better) [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fFQt"] PCPartPicker part list[/URL] / [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fFQt/by_merchant/"]Price breakdown by merchant[/URL] / [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fFQt/benchmarks/"]Benchmarks[/URL] [B]CPU:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623i72700k"]Intel Core i7-2700K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor[/URL] ($289.99 @ Amazon) [B]CPU Cooler:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr1"]Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler[/URL] ($28.98 @ NCIX US) [B]Motherboard:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z77extreme4"]ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard[/URL] ($134.99 @ Microcenter) [B]Memory:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmx8gx3m2b1600c9"]Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory[/URL] ($42.99 @ Newegg) [B]Storage:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-hd103sj"]Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive[/URL] ($88.98 @ Newegg) [B]Video Card:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/diamond-video-card-7970pe53g"]Diamond Radeon HD 7970 3GB Video Card[/URL] ($399.99 @ Microcenter) [B]Case:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc912kkn1"]Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case[/URL] ($49.49 @ SuperBiiz) [B]Power Supply:[/B] [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ocz-power-supply-ocz600mxsp"]OCZ 600W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply[/URL] ($44.99 @ Newegg) [B]Total:[/B] $1077.30 [I](Prices include shipping and discounts when available.)[/I] [I](Generated by PCPartPicker 2012-08-26 00:46 EDT-0400) [/I]This is what I got on my own.
