Ok im fairly new to the whole concept of sourcing and building a computer, although it has taken my interest. I would like to build a computer capable of playing CS:S and WoW with maxed out setting running at a decent fps (40-50+) as 10 fps on a laptop is not cutting it anymore. I would also like to use Photoshop and ofcourse background music.
I have spent some time on Overclockers and have sourced some parts which seem pretty good and i was hoping to get some expert opinion(s) on them. They are as follows:
It would be GREATLY appreciated to gain expert opinions/suggestions on this setup and make aware of any compatibility issues. Im not clear on wether the case will be suitable for the motherboard and wether or not the motherboard has enough PCI/PCIe slots.
+10000 pwnpoints for whoever can help a newbie out here
thanks!!!!
