$900ish budget. Need a PC of awesomeness! Help me.

[Toughcub]

hi guys, my name is Mario. peace and love and may you be blessed. I want to start getting a decent PC that is fast. I'm not really that much of a gamer, but I do play WoW occasionally on my days off from work. My main focus is getting a build that is nice enough with enough sheer feel-good speed to browse around the web, browse and manage files, watching movies on itunes in amazing quailty and that stuff if you catch my drift...but like I said I will be buying Mists of Pandaria and I wouldn't mind at all playing it on some of the best settings, and being eye candyish while leveling/raiding. I'm just that kind of guy that waits for the weekends/days off and just relax on my PC.

Atm this is the PC i have been using now for 3+ years http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113132 and my current monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176077
....I'm expecting this is going to be a heck of a leap in my PC time experience

I WILL be getting a new monitor as soon as you guys can recommend me a great pc! My monitor budget is $250 dollars and I am looking to get a 23' one. I heard IPS looks so good on those ASUS displays, can you recommend me some nice IPS monitors in my $ range?



Btw I've never built a PC or anything like that before, so this will be my first time. It's very very very scary hearing how by one little mistake in assembling a build you can blow up and destroy video cards/cpu/power supply all that stuff. I have not even the least knowledge when it comes to computer parts either, nothing about power supply, liquid cooling and motherboards and all this fancy sounding stuff. as I have said, I have never successfully assembled a component in any PC i tried opening up....ever. I'm probably gonna take all the parts to Tiger Direct near my home so they can build it and what not...thing is idc about the money i'm gonna have to spend as long as it is built the way its meant to be but I want that to be a last resort type of deal. I'm almost completely retarded when it comes to this stuff. and when seeing people holding a certain screwdriver and putting parts in certain places in different looking boxes with all these fancy airways freaks me the heck out. Scary freakin stuff to do correctly...I am a simple guy that just wants a PC done right and not blowing up in the process 🙁 I don't want complications.


So I will request parts of any which you recommend and why for this PC. Theres a website called partpicker that looks so cool, you guys just gotta recommend me what and why that matches my $900-ish budget.
I hope you guys help me out here, may the Lord pour out so much blessings on you who is here for me on this. Thanks for reading!

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: reliable and reputable sources, newegg/amazon and such.


Location: Miami, FL. USA.

NICE this is awesome!! Blessings to you amd and djang for your generous help. Great recommendations and the PCpartpicker website is so neat! I want to ask whats the difference between a gtx 660 ti and a 670? what does "ti" mean anyway?

Btw I am almost set on the ASUS vs239, looks really nice.

The solid state drive I hear are a must have, are they really that good? I am getting one either way because these builds look awesome to me.

 

[AMD Radeon]

670 is 2nd top nvidia card and has 256-bit bus
660 ti is only mid card with 192bit

intel i5, samsung ssd, asus led ips panel, win 7 os
i hope it can help you

revision : add OS

For wow a 660 ti is already overkill, if your gaming needs depends all on ultra 60 fps, the 670 gtx will prove to be slightly better, the 660 ti is a good value though.

For SSD, get one with 120GB/128GB in stock :

Those are good.

 

[Toughcub]

I am only seeking for a video card capable of performing in WoW very very well with good eye candy, but it doesnt have to be perfect.

I'm not really that much of a gamer, I just wanted a card that could handle itself well with great settings, even tho both of cards you guys suggested are probably way overkill, i will stick to the 660 ti. anything higher than that sounds like beast which i dont need since im going to be on youtube/itunes or something else in the web.

 

[djangoringo]

You could change for a 660 gtx (non ti) : http://media.bestofmicro.com/U/V/352327/original/WoW-HIGH.png

Still goes with almost 60 fps.

you could drop down to an i3 for less money or go with a msi mb or a h77 locked mb
on the vidoe card depending if your eye candy you go drop down to a 650ti for the min gpu. may have to turn down the bling in wow if there a big fight.

Hmm thats a good idea, the gtx 660 non-ti is still probably overkill and it will do my budget very nicely. Thanks for your responses and help Djangoringo.

About the motherboards, will there be any significant difference? As long as the PC runs superfast good I won't mind dropping down. I just have no idea on how will it affect the PC, i dont even know what a motherboard does when a PC is being used lol. I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff.

I have your monitor right here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052

23.6" ASUS. It's not IPS, but for being 50% off right now it's a steal. I had mine come in the other day, and it is gorgeous. Everyone else here has a really good take on your PC specs already, so I figured I'd throw a lower budget monitor in.

 

[Toughcub]

Sweet build Nephilim! I think I should stick to the i5-3470 for the processor, you think it will be a huge difference between the i5-3470 and the i3-3220 you posted?

and how will the 650ti compare to the 660 in WoW?

 

[AMD Radeon]

650 ti should be adequate and power wise i play wow too

Hmm that looks so nice, and yeah the price looks fantastic! I am taking into consideration because the IPS looks so nice to me too. Great great monitor you recommended so thanks and blessings TheGhxst!

Yeah it's totally your call, if you have the extra funds and can afford the better monitor I would say go for it. But now you have a lower priced awesome monitor to fall back on if need be

My HPw1907 is a very nice monitor, but is there any other monitor like it nowadays at the 23' size? I like not having the anti glare on hpw1907, but can you recommend a monitor alike the hpw1907 but just like a bigger, better one?

Stat wise that HP and the ASUS monitor are pretty much one in the same. 5ms timing, 1000:1 contrast ratio, horizontal and vertical refresh rates are darn close as well. Mine is a 4" upgrade with higher resolution.

At your price limit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236123

That one is an upgrade from both. 2ms timing, 25", 50,000,000:1 ratio. And is wall mountable lol
