Alright, well I've got two computers here, and one of them's getting to be practically useless, so I've decided to replace it using the build-your-own method.. first time though. I'm trying to build a computer that'll be good for gaming (CSS, HL2 level +), and fast for multitasking.. also will be networked with the Gateway that's still working well.
So far these are the specs I've come up with:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133145
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152
Proc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16819103586
(will be trying to OC this at least a little.. to get as much speed as I can for the least $)
Vid Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130283
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231021
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136003
Opti Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152055
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103932
Keyboard and monitor I already have from an old computer.
$1140.94 USD right now.. I'd like to know if it's possible to get something like the performance of this system for closer to $1k. Any help or modifications to this list is greatly appreciated.. thanks
