Hi!
I have looked through the forums here and elsewhere, as well as looked at benchmarks and product info and independent reviews... and my head is starting to spin. Hoping the friendly people here can tell me if I am on the right track with this build.
Basically what I would like to know is are there any games out now that people think I wont be able to play in HD (1080).
I guess the 3 games I am looking forward to playing on this system (when they come out) are BF:BC3, D3 and GW2.
Is there anything bottlenecking this build? Is it worth spending another $150 on a 120g SSD? Does the case have sufficient airflow? Etc etc.
I am in Brisbane, Australia, so all parts will be sourced at my local Umart in Milton. Some of what I have listed is based on current availability, as I intend to buy very soon (2 weeks at most).
All advice is welcome, but I would like to keep this build around $1200.00 or less, the cheaper the better as long as performance doesn't suffer too greatly.
Prices are from Umart, Milton, and are in $AUD.
