Hello. I was trying to play demigod the other day and decided my pc is ready for another upgrade. But I think will have to start from scratch from this one. I was looking at a i7 setup but read that it's kind of pointless if I use that just for gaming? As of right now at least. I was wanting to keep it under $1000 but I ended up going over with what I choose. Was wondering if any of you experts would be able to help me.
Currently I have a 500w antex 500w smartpower 2.0 psu and 500gb seagate hd.
I do not need a monitor as I use my 32" hdtv and prefer this. It usually runs at 1280x720 wide which does mess up some games.
I have a old emachine that was upgraded with an evga 7800gt and 1.5gb ram, that I will be selling.
If I am able to use the psu and/or hd that be great but not necessary. I will be installing the hd though for backup, but not sure if its good for main hd or boot.
I know a little about computers, enough to put it all together when the pieces are separated, but when it comes to everything working together like the ram and motherboard and psu... need some more help. Also if there was anything that I did miss. I don't care on the look of the tower either, just that it performs well in terms of air flow and space. Nothing fancy.
So I thank you in advance for taking the time to stop and help me out.
