Ready to Build

[BagOfDeadCats]

Hi all, I'm finally ready to order the parts for my brand new system. I'm getting a new everything except mouse, keyboard, monitor, and speakers.
Here is what I decided on about a month ago. I want something that will run games (wow, diablo 3, new vegas) and graphics (illustrator, editing programs) smoothly. My budget is under $1400 preferably but I could do as much as $1500 max.
Keep in mind this will be my first time building.

Are you set on that nVidia card? (or were you gonna get two and SLI?) I'd personally go with an ATI card.

 

[BagOfDeadCats]

That's just the card I chose, link to one you would prefer and I will check it out.

 

[voyagerfan99]

You'll probably get better performance with this card.

Pretty soon you'll have enough for an ssd.

 

[BagOfDeadCats]

Do you know when the combo deals will expire? It's going to be a week or so before I order, probably.

 

[Benny Boy]

Only Newegg knows.
Some of those will be there then I'm sure, like the basic cpu/mb, etc.
At least it gives you an idea of what to look for when the time comes.

 

[BagOfDeadCats]

Alrighty thanks a lot

Looks pretty good

Come back right before you order and we should be able to optimize it very well...that'll allow you to take advantage of any short-lived deals they have. Make sure to subscribe to the e-blast emails...there's some awesome deals in there.
