Hey everyone. I've been thinking about putting together my first computer for under the price of $1000. I'd really like to try and build it myself and have recently been doing research on possible options for the rig. This computer is strictly for online multiplayer gaming like Guild Wars 2 and War Z standalone. I am not interested in overclocking or modifying factory components. I'd like to just buy and install.
So far I think I'm going with Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64 bit as my operating system. I;m looking at 64 bit so i can maximize the use of 8gigs of ram.
8 gigs of ram DDR3
I'm looking into the AMD 7 series for graphics, but am not sure which to get. I know this is a very important part of having a good gaming experience (as having great graphics is very important for me) any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.*for a side note i'm hooking this pc up to my big screen so it has to be hdmi compatible.
It seems that a lot of current games aren't taking advantage of the i7's capabilities so I'm assuming i can save money and be safe with an i5 processor. I heard 2500 and 3570 are good. Again, i have no idea what I am talking about so any suggestions are most welcome
As for storage and cooling, i have no idea what to do there. I won't be doing anything else on this computer aside from installing games and playing them.
I assume I'll need a mid 500 + power watt supply. Monitor and speakers are out because the pc will be hooked up to my TV.
I thank whoever decides to help a noob pc maker in advance! Hopefully you guys can relieve some consumer stress! Oh, and if i forgot to add any other components please let me know.
