Hello,
I am going to get a gaming rig really soon. I have a couple of questions. My budget is around $2500-$3000
1. Is there a HUGE difference in games between a $5000 computer and a $2500-2700 computer? And can you SEE it?
2. What does "Professional Wiring" mean? Is it worth it???
3. Is "Maximum fans for your selected case" worth it, or are the fans fine? I'm not going to go crazy and just run 20 programs.
4. Is windows 7 Professional good for gaming, or is Windows 8 better? I am going to play FPS's mostly, and I want to max out all of the graphics plus get a lot of FPS.
5. Is my rig good for gaming? I don't want to spend too much, and I need a motherboard that is expandable.
6. Would you change anything? Am I missing something huge, and do I need to wait 2 months, or should I go ahead and just buy it???
