Hey guys, ive recently decided to build a new gaming PC for games such as:

COD4
Warhammer online


Im looking for a pc build in the range of $1000-1500, if needed i may be able to go over this budget.

My current hardware consists of:

Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHZ

Asus P4S533MX mobo

nVidia Geforce 6600

80 gig HDD

250 watt seasonic PSU

Ive been using this pc build for around 4 years and its time to upgrade. Im looking for a build to blow this out of the water.

Ive done some research on what to buy but im new to this and its all pretty overwhelming.

What brand names should i stick to when putting together a gaming pc?

What parts would you recommend buying for a budget of $1000-15000


Cheers!
 
Cheers for the reply mate.

From what ive read about crossfiring, is it really worth that extra dosh for another card for 50 % increase in performance?

Do you personally crossfire, is the performance enhancement worth that extra cash?
 
well it depends, a single 4870 should do fine for what u want to do, but if u want to start benchmarking the performance is nice but if u just want to game, save the cash and get a single card

and no i dont use crossfire but i use nvidia's equivalent calleds SLI because i have a nvidia motherboard and gfx cards
 
Crossfire/sli doesn't offer a 50% performance increase, it usually only scales on high resolutions.

Stay with a single 4870 and stalins build.
 
Cheers for all the info

Ill check out and hopefully purchage the hardware once i can get onto newegg.

Is anyone else having trouble getting onto newegg?
 
How bout the Antec 300?

OT: I think everyone has the exact same idea of the perfect build because i would have posted the exact same.
 
I think he should go with the 1200 with all that hardware, plus I'm sure he will wanna upgrade cooling (water or more fans)
