Looking to build a gaming desktop.
Whats up guys?
Thanks for the help, I'm looking to build a gaming rig for about 1200 not including monitor, keyboard or mouse. If you have any suggestions or could let me know what goes best together for that price. Thanks! |

Wait another couple of weeks for the Windows 7 OEM, not Vista with upgrade. Also get 5850 when stock back. If you want it now, get 4890... For a cheap X58 mobo, I would get ASRock X58 Extreme instead. Last edited by daisymtc; 10-15-2009 at 12:20 PM. |

Punkbuster will probably have updated by the time Win 7 releases, but I'm still recommending Vista with the free Win 7 upgrade, until it's been proven. That way the user has an option. Fermi will probably require financing to be able to afford it.
