Hey guys, ive been looking around this board for ideas for my new computer for a few days and decided to get some input on what I have so far. I know you get about a billion questions from inexperienced people every day about their new rig, but i would really appreciate any help you could provide.
I basically just want to build a midrange computer to play games such as Call of Duty and Fear and do some photo and video editing. I hope to be able to keep this project under $1000 (or as low as possible).
These are my components:
Case
Looks like it has all the features I need.
PSU
Will this be compatible with my other components/enough power? Is it good quality?
MOBO
Seems like a good choice, everyone here seems to like it.
CPU
Do I need a CPU this powerful? Would the money be better spent somewhere else?
Video Card
Very unsure about this choice. I would really appreciate some suggestions about video card.
Hard Drive
Looks speedy, has all the space I need. Will the SATA 3GB/s be compatible with my motherboard?
Memory: Unsure, open to suggestions.
Ok, so thats what I have so far. Any thoughts on where I should downgrade/upgrade the hardware I picked would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
