Hey guys sorry if I break a forum rule with this but I have no clue of buying/building computers. I currently have a laptop that I play games on and thats not good enough anymore to play the HIGH quality games that are coming out.
I'm not looking to spend more than $1.5-2grand, but I do what a high quality computer that can run smoothly and not overheat etc.

I been going on computer websites and messing around with "customize your computer" but I dunno what goes good with what and what is needed to meet my requirements for games.

please help.

that puts you right at $2000. $40 in MIR and a $10 gift card will bring down the budget a tad.

if that pushes your budget, as it is at the upper end of the range you quoted, take the gpu down to a 570 or a 7870.

this will run anything out there now and for a ways into the future at high settings.

edit: youll need a displayport cable to take in all the glory of that ips panel monitor

thank you. Also, I have wireless internet, what would I need to have my new desktop connect to the wireless internet? And what would you recommend getting?

 

[jasonalwaysready]

not sure what you are working with, but

Newegg.com - ENCORE ENEWI-2XN45 Wireless N300 Adapter with Two 5 dBi antennas, IEEE 802.11b/g/ n 2.0 PCI Express Up to 300Mbps

might be what you are looking for.

I would just grab a USB wireless dongle.

 

[jasonalwaysready]

do the antennas help at all?

 

[PP Mguire]

If the router is close by or in the same house then doesn't matter that much if it's just being used for internet.
