You could take a look at this guide if you like: http://www.techist.com/forums/f76/c...ncluding-photos-building-your-own-rig-102716/

It's pretty straight forward, just take your time, read manuals, and you'll be fine. :]

oh man, thanks you guys

 

[hikaricloud]

No prob mate. Feel free to ask any other questions.

 

[chiefsfan]

if i buy those parts and put it all together and what not. will it be able to modern games like age of empires3, call of duty, unreal tournament.. etc etc?

will it be able to run*

 

[hikaricloud]

It will keep up with most games at decent resolutions. What size monitor are you using?

Check out some benchmarks here: ATI Radeon HD 4770 review

 

[chiefsfan]

acually i was planning on using my 24'' LCD tv as a monitor.

Well, you should be ok with that card, but to be sure, you can grab something better than that.

Maybe something like this: Newegg.com - XFX HD-489A-ZDFC Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

That card would set you for a while, and handle high resolutions pretty easily. Would cost you another 120 ish bucks though...

 

[chiefsfan]

is a high end graphics card the only thing i will need on this rig to be able to run high-res games?

 

[hikaricloud]

Yup! You have enough RAM, and the CPU is great for gaming.

EDIT: The only thing you may want to do is upgrade the PSU, to make sure it can handle the video card...

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies

See if that fits in your budget.

 

[chiefsfan]

yeah i think it'll fit my budget.. ill probly work for my pops and make some extra cash.

theres one problem though, im a night gamer, and on the reviews for that graphics card everyone says thats its really noisey. What else is there that i can get that wont wake everyone up?
