Alright So I did a ton of gaming back in high school and am just going to get back into it after college.
My dad built computers back then so I never learned how to actually build/set them up, I would just go to him.
Basically, I have a budget of around 1600 for the ENTIRE system (although everyone here seems to have cheaper builds)
Here is what I have so far, entirely based on reviews/benchmark research.
CASE:
APEVIA X-JUPITER-JR G-Type X-JPJGT-BK Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower - 59.99
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
65.99
SAMSUNG 2433BW High Glossy Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor
259.99
Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Hard Drive
129.99
XFX GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Video Card
289.99
Ultra X3 ULT40312 850-Watt Power Supply
159.99
OCZ Vista Upgrade Edition Dual Channel 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory
44.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Processor BX80570E8500 - 3.16GHz
204.99
EVGA nforce 780i SLI Motherboard
229
Total : ~1500
If there is anything that is extraneous in here that could be narrowed down to something cheaper, let me know (i.e. the motherboard seems kind of pricey is there another one that could do the job just as well, and I am never going to use more than one GPU slot)
