I'm getting a gaming PC in about a month and have a limited budget. My question is what kind of rig would you suggest? Should I build my own or get a premade?
Also, I was looking at one with these specs :
CPU: (Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6750 CPU @ 2.66GHz 1333FSB 4MB L2 Cache 64-bit
Mainboard: ($20 off Mail-in Rebate) (Quad-Core FSB1333) MSI P6N SLI-FI nForce 650i SLI Chipset LGA775 FSB1333 DDR2 Mainboard
Memory: (Req.DDR2 MainBoard)2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair Value Select or Major Brand)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express
Video Card 2: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express
LCD Monitor: ViewSonic Q9B 19& quot; COLOR TFT Active Matrix SXGA LCD Display 1280x1028 (Original Black)
HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)
Optical Drive: (Special Price) 18X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER (BLACK COLOR)
Optical Drive 2: 16X DVD ROM (BLACK COLOR)
Sound: 3D WAVE ON-BOARD 5.1 SOUND CARD
Would that be able to handle most of the stuff I'd throw at it?
