Do I need to purchase an OS? Yes, I'm going to buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA&gclid=CLftnYydvrQCFayPPAodkBwAAw $100
The computer by itself costs $750 (including Windows)
Displays I am considering:
AOC E2460SWD 24-Inch Widescreen LED Monitor - Black http://www.amazon.com/AOC-E2460SWD-24-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B007X2KOCC
This is really the only display I have looked into yet, any suggestions for would be nice. The BASIC specs I am looking for is 24 inches, 1080p, 16:9. Keep in mind I am a gamer so I would want a monitor with low input lag and 60hz refresh rate.
Games I will be playing:
- CS:GO
- BF3
- Civ 5
- The Witcher 2
- Starcraft 2
- Planetside 2
I don't need a PC powerful enough to max out BF3, but I do need a system that can run BF3 at a stable frame rate without sacrificing too much graphical detail.
Is there anything you would change about this build? Will this build run most games on high settings?
(I live in Austin TX, BTW)
