New Gaming Computer That Supports Guilds Wars+

[Helix]

Alright. I'm in the works of trying to learn about computers and such, but the posts i've read through are like... A different language. :\


I know i'm a noob, but i'm willing to work with people. Just please, keep it simple.


My budget is 700-800. Depending on whatever.

I really appreciate you taking the time to post, just don't make it dumb. :c

guildwars doesnt require a dvd you can download the client online jk ya he will need one even tho that is teh case with gw lol.

I would go with this PSU: Corsair 750w
CORSAIR 750w TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - CMPSU-750TX - Buy.com

I know its overkill but for $5 more how can you pass up that deal.

Also consider this CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Its a little cheaper and will run games better.

that psu is way over kill.

 

[stalin90]

yea but its a great price, only $5, and leaves alot of room for upgrades and such

 

[Pinscher]

Honestly, no offense the the OP, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will be considering upgrades in the forseeable(spelling?) future. I guess he could get the 750 there really is no point unless he thinks he is going to have the money to significantly upgrade his computer to the point where it would require that 750. Chips are only getting smaller and will require less power to run.

 

[Dauntae]

for the $700-800 Does he also need a operating system, If so there goes his budget...

Ya do you need an OS too? I just assumed you did but if you don't that's going to put you over budget.
