I'm looking to build my first computer but really don't know where to start. I want to be able to run the latest games like Crysis and other shooters. My price range is pretty flexible. I'm willing to spend anywhere from $800-1300.
I don't think I'll be able to afford the i7 or gtx 295 with this price range but I was thinking about the Radeon HD 5850. I was thinking about crossfiring two eventually. So it would be nice if I could be able to upgrade it down the road. For the processor I really have no idea. What do you guys think about the i5 and Phenom II? Which version would you recommend?
Other than that I really have no idea on the other parts. Just trying to get the best performance for the price. Suggestions?
