Hey everybody i've pretty much been a console gamer all my life but i want to make the jump to a Pc for many reasons. What im looking for is a good gaming Pc capable of 1080p resolution while maintaining a 75+fps on games at all times. In addition to this im going to be editing/streaming videos.
Overall I'm just looking for some help on where to get started in building my pc and what parts I could get for this kind of money to make an awesome gaming rig. I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out all the parts I could get for this much or how much I actually need to spend.
Any help is better than none!
What are you planning to do with this compuer?
Best gaming performance w/video editing
What is your budget?
Around $2000 if possible $2500 could be done if needed, not sure how much things cost.
Does this include a copy of Windows? no i would need either 7 or 8
Does this include peripherals (a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.)?
No, i have a 27" monitor but i would like some recommendations for a keyboard and mouse.
Are you from the United States or a different country? Are you ordering from your own country or from across borders? Yes I am from the United States so I would get all the parts I need here.
If you are from the United States, do you live nearby a Microcenter?
No the closest store would be a best buy, looking for a online site to buy off of.
Do you have any specific requests with the build?
i7-3770k and at least gtx 680/670 i want 75+fps on max.
Do you plan on overclocking? If yes, do you have a specific goal in mind?
I would like to get to 4.5Ghz if possible, what are the pros/cons of OC
Would you prefer the build to be particularly small?
Not worried about space
Would you prefer the build to be particularly quiet?
I dont want it to be super loud, but i do want it to be pretty quiet.
In general, do you prefer this to be a computer that you can spend money on now and let it rest, or a box built for continuous upgrading?
I'm not really sure what is the best option for this
Do you ever plan on utilizing NVIDIA's SLI or AMD's CrossfireX technologies? These features, with a compatible motherboard, allow a user to link multiple identical graphic cards together for added performance. In real world terms, this lets you buy a second identical graphics card down the line as a relatively cheap and easy way to gain a fairly large boost in performance. However, this requires buying a SLI/CFX compatible motherboard and PSU now, which may result in slightly higher initial cost.
Wouldnt mind doing an SLI or CrossfireX
Sorry i dont know much about gaming PCs but i do know about the parts.
