Hey guys and girls. I've been floating around the forums reading and trying to gather information. Been looking around tried to compile my own list and played with the idea of going with one of the DIY Combos from NewEgg. Not sure of what to haven't made a computer myself, but my buddy is going to help just he's been alittle busy these days.
My budget is alittle on the low end for a ''gaming'' rig, but heck I'm not trying to play Crisis or anything like that. I'm currently hooked/enjoy playing a couple MMOs that aren't too starved for super hardware. I'm basically just trying to get a ''gaming'' rig set up that will handle what I play and alittle more maybe with some upgrades when the time and money comes into play if there is ever a new game i want to step into.
For now the games I play are Global Agenda (System Requirements For Game), DDO and a couple more. Would love if my budget could get me beyond those with alot of room to play with. So that it isn't just barely running the games at full graphics and such.
Been using a P.O.S. laptop that worked great up until the games started getting updated alot more and started working the little laptop more then what it's used to. So, trying to step it up alittle bit. Appreciate the help and thank you in advanced for the build/advice.
Approximate Purchase Date: 8/8/2011
Budget Range: 500-600 (low right now, but i'm itching to play and all i can afford to get started atm)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games, Music and occasional movies.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, headset, os
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com is the only one ive ever looked at.
Country of Origin: United States, WA
Parts Preferences: AMD processor buddy of mine is pushing me towards the black edition t1100, but idk if something you guys recommend let me know i'm open. Anything else is up to you guys, i'm the rookie here. 😀
Overclocking: Yes in future?
SLI or Crossfire: In the Future
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024 or higher
Additional Comments: Well, just looking to be able to play my games that i currently play and possibly some games in the near future that might require more then what they currently require. I can go a tad over the 600ish mark atm, but not too much =P just trying to get something started is all that can handle what I do. Also, hoping for a case that will hold me over for awhile with plenty of room and stays cool.
Thank you guys in advanced.
**EDIT** also if it doesn't seem like it can happen on that budget let me know i can hold out for another month probably and bump it alittle bit more. just kind of figure for what i do it should be plenty. once again thank you.
