Idea for a New Build

DigitalxxxFr34k · Dec 8, 2010

Currently im running a low end budget system, AMD Duel Core 2.7 ghz, 3 gb of ram ddr2 , 512mb Nvidia 9500GTs ddr3, pretty much i built this system off a tight budget and it was kinda of a emergency, my computer before this, ended up with snail speeds, and things started to ware out after 4 years of use, so i needed something before it died, its been a year, and im already thinking of something new, ideas are running in my head, and well this is what idea i have for a new system, i want something that hooks up to my HDTV, cuz i do alot of media stuff on it such as movies shows and more, i also do mild gaming on my system, i plan on purchasing Diablo III and the New Mcgee's Alice game when it comes out, im not a big MMO player or First person shooters

Case: AeroCool PGS Q Series Qx-2000

Im going with micro ATX simply the fact that i want it to sit next to my tv, so i want it compact, now if i can just go with the onboard graphics let me know, since those 2 games i mentioned are going to be the only 2 games ill probably buy for the pc for awhile, also ill have the case filled with the highest and quietest RPM fans i can get or refer me to a lower end graphics that supports directx11, im not sure if the onboard graphics does or not, i prefer to stick with ATI and AMD, and please dont hate, ill take any suggestions specially if it brings the price down

,,,dedicated card needed for DX11. not supported w/ HD4290. i havent looked at that revo drive but has to be pricy,,,vertex II, or phx pro are 2 that saves $, more gigs and still fast. that case only has 4 slots i think, may be a concern. imo there's better out there for the same $ or less. make sure if it's barracuca, it's 7200.12.
diff brand psu would be better.
could save on mobo, possibly cpu.
it's sitting next to your tv? going to use for more than ht?
are you going to oc?
where are you buying from?
is there a budget?
