Hey guys, well it's been about 3 years and, it's time for a new PC.
I'm starting from scratch, i sold my old rig and i'm ready to build a new one. Few things...I want it to be something i wont have to upgrade in the next 2-3 years. I want to go Intel + Nvidia. And i will be ordering it from Tigerdirect. I know if you shop around you can save some cash but, i have always had amazing support from them, and items never take more than 2 days to get to me from TG.com
For what?
I'm going to be using it for, Mainly gaming. Two games i play a lot are World of Warcraft, and Call of duty 4. but i want to get into some new "Next Gen" games. I do a lot of multi-tasking like, running 5-6 web pages (Tabs), WoW, Windows Media player with a huge playlist ect ect...nothing extreme but, i would like it to be smooth.
How much?
Well, for the everything i have a budget of $1500.00, but the lower the better. I am 100% open to any and all suggestions!
This is what i have so far
