Hey guys,
I'm planning to build myself a PC for gaming. Basically, I want to be able to play Call of Duty 4 at max settings, and Crysis on somewhere between medium to high settings (the higher the better).
I have a budget of about $1200 (my actual budget is about $1500 but I need a monitor as well). I know enough to build my own computers but I haven't been in the PC gamin world for a while so I'm not up to date on the latest parts and technology and thats why I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm only ordering off Tigerdirect.ca (if Newegg.com ships to Canada, thats fine too), unless theres a perfect part that I can only get somewhere else.
I am hoping for 3GB of RAM, an Intel e8400 (open to suggestions though), and a Geforce 8800GTS. Hard drive size is not an issue as long as it's over 300GB, but it needs to be a fast hard drive. I don't need anything fancy for a case, just something that will be a good solid case and fit the motherboard that you guys suggest.
So, any build suggestions?
