Hi!
I think I've reached the limit on what my computer can do for me, so I'm looking to get a new computer. My main criteria is that it is not slow and can play moderate games at good graphics settings. If it can play Skyrim at Ultra, that's big plus, but for now I'm just looking for something that will let me play games for the next two years without significant slowdowns.
Thank you so much!
Andrei.
Approximate Purchase Date:
Within a month. Probably by the end of March.
Budget Range:
$800-1400. I need a monitor, but should not be factored into this budget.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming, Watching movies, surfing the net, ripping DVDs.
Parts Not Required:
Keyboard, mouse, speakers, hard drives, optical drive, OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Amazon (for fast shipping and points) and Newegg (because Newegg has made me happy so often.)
Country:
USA.
Parts Preferences:
Would like a case without any LEDs (if possible). Ease of entry/ability to insert lots of hard drives (I snapped some SATA cables recently because there was no room for me to maneuver them.) Would like many SATA inputs on the Motherboard.
Overclocking:
I've never done it, but I would totally do it if someone gave me easy to use instructions. I know that's been done here before.
SLI or Crossfire:
Probably will only have 1 video card, so no, unless it's extremely much better for the price.
Monitor Resolution:
1920x1080 or 1920x1200
Additional Comments:
This site is the best thing that's happened to computer buying since I learned that you don't need to go to Dell to buy a stock unmodifiable computer. You are all awesome! I'd be lost without all of your advice.
