I want to build or order a new gaming computer.
I want to connect my PC via HDMI to my 50in 720p plasma (1024*768) and to my 22in comp screen (1680x1050)
I want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator X, maybe not at the highest settings but I want it hot, it would be the only game I'll play
My budget is 700-900 $CDN
I want to play mkvs and other HD content
I want to set it up this week or next one.
Here is where I'm heading, please suggest or comment, prices come from NCIX and Newegg Canada:
Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ 8MB Cache OEM
MSI P55-GD55 ATX LGA1156 P55 DDR3 2XPCI-E16 3XPCI-E1 2XPCI RAID Audio GBLAN CrossFire Motherboard
- Bundle deal: 320$
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
- 105$
Powercolor Radeon HD 5770 850MHZ 512MB 4.8GHZ GDDR5 VGA DVI-I HDMI DIRECTX11 PCI-E Video Card
- 150$
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active
- 90$
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
- 70$
That makes 735$, includes shipping, plus taxes it comes to 830 CDN$.
I will put my own HDD 320 GB WD SATA and LG DVD burner SATA and my new version of Win7 64 Bit pro.
I want to wait a little bit in order to get solid state drives in the future.
What do you think? it would be my first built, or I'll ask somebody to build. Are there any overkills, underacheivers?
I want to go for Radeon GPU cause I like the HDMI THX sound compatibility via HDMI, but am not blind to Nvidia yet.
