Hi,
I'd like to build a new computer and would like some advice. I would use the computer for mainly gaming (Wow, SC2, etc.), but might also use to convert old analog videos to digital and then some video editing.
My budget is flexible, so that isn't the main concern (maybe would start balking at around $2,500). But I don't like to overpay for the latest technology, so I'd like to build something that uses the best technology available that has hit somewhat of a plateau on pricing. For example, if there is a big jump in price for a cpu with only a few extra GHz, then I'd opt for the slightly less performance. Maybe the gradations in price are more gradual and it isn't that easy to do this, but I figured I'd at least pose the question.
I'd need all the components, including keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. Regarding monitor, is there a maximum recommended size for desktop gaming? Again, I wouldn't want to pay $1000 extra for a larger monitor, but would like to get the largest useable for that purpose at what I'd call a "value" price.
Thanks!
