So over the past year I have been upgrading my computer and have finally decided to build a new one (almost) from scratch, that will play next gen games like DoW 2 and Starcraft 2 and Warhead at good settings. The thing is, there are a couple parts that definately couldbe used in the new computer. For instance, I have an NVidia 8800 GT GFX card and my power supply is decent, but I would preffer something mroe powerful in terms of watts, etc. for the new system. I have a fine hard drive and a dvd and cd drive.
I first wanted to buy a barebones kit, but when I looked on NewEgg, all the kits have video cards included, which isnt something i necessarily need. On tiger direct, I found a few good looking prospects, but tiger warranties are always a bit iffy and I really want to be sure that if something breaks i will get some kind of compensation.
Then I had the idea opf buying a decent pc and just putting in my parts, but am having trouble finding one. I have about 600 dollars right now, but if necessary i can scrounge up some more, so lets call my budget 750.
Any ideas?
