Hello, I'm planning on building a new computer in about 2-3 months and just want to plan ahead and get as much info as possible. I'm not too good with the technical/hardware part of computers so I leave the challenge up to you. My main worry is compatibility issues and since this will be the first computer I'll work on alone, I need all the help I can get.
I'm looking for a computer between 800 - 1100 +/- 150 USD. I'll be using it for a variety of purposes ranging from, internet, movie editing, using Photoshop/Flash, gaming.
Wants:
Large hard drive 1.5 Tb+
Graphics card: I want to be able to play most games at around 50+ fps (excluding crysis 2)
Sound card: mid/high end sound card would be preferable
RAM: 4+ Gb
Processor: Since I'm kind of on a budget any AMD 3.2 Ghz processor will do
MoBo: Any that is compatible with my previous specifications
Power supply: This one is very important as I'm sure you know. I'm fine with paying quite a bit for this item.
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&Tpk=nine+hundred (Case shown in the step by step guide done by "[-0MEGA-]") It seems solid and affordable
Cooling: Don't want to bother with liquid cooling in case anyone may be wondering. I would like as many damn fans as you can fit.
Since I'm quite tired I wont write much more. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could point my in the right direction. As I'm planning on using this computer for the next 4-5 years spending a little more than my "budget" would be fine. If anyone could suggest compatible parts I would be very grateful. Ive chosen a case already, and If I've missed anything, sorry I'm ultra tired. Again thanks, you guys taking time to personally help me is very much appreciated. Also excuse me if im being a little vague and crude with what I'm looking for. Hopefully by the morning I'll have a good load of questions to answer!
*The things in color are items that if I had money to spare would I like to be upgraded*
*yawn* and goodnight everyone
Thanks again!
