Good day to everyone! This is my first post, so here's a quick intro; I'm a gamer, I love my games and I spent more time playing that I am with anything else. I don't buy high-demand games such as FarCry 2 or Crysis, that's what my 360 is for; I'm more into WoW, Warhammer, Oblivion, and upcoming titles such as Starcraft 2 and Diablo III. I want a rig that can play all these games at max settings (even Diablo III when it comes out, say, three years from now? lol). Having said that, two most important things came to mind when building my rig: worth the cost, and not-so-demanding games that come out a year or two from now can be handled without upgrade.
Without further ado:
Motherboard - ASUS Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard P6T Deluxe/OC Palm LGA 1366
Processor - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
Graphics Card - ASUS GeForce GTX 280 1GB ENGTX280 OC/HTDI/1G 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
RAM - Kingston 6GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin (PC3 8500) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
Hard Drive - Seagate 640GB 7200 RPM ST3640323AS 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
My biggest conflict was between getting the GTX 280 over Dual ATI Radeon HD4850 512mb. Was it a good decision to get the GTX 280?
Comments and suggestions are very much welcome; I'm not too knowledgeable in hardware as you might have guessed.
