I am stressing out very bad about buying a computer before christmas.
I need to buy a desktop computer for not much more than $1200 usd.
I need the pc to be future proof meaning that I can use it for years to come or at least upgrade it because I won't be able to afford a new one for a few years.
I'll be using this pc mainly for gaming. (fallout 3, oblivion, crysis, dragon age, world of warcraft, warcraft 3, etc)
I'll also be browsing the internet, checking and sending email, youtube, music, IM'ing, and etc.
I like to have itunes running in the background when I'm playing games or browsing the internet.
I'm probably going to buy the parts individually and build it myself because I'm so paranoid.
If not I'll buy it from ecollegepc.com or ibuypower.com unless another website is recommended.
I'd like to stick with intel processors.
So with those thoughts in mind please build me a future proof gaming pc that will last me for years to come!
Just post the specs and etc. here.
Also, I've never built a computer before, is it a bad idea for me to buy all the parts off newegg.com and build one myself?
And I heard i5's can't be upgraded as easily as quad cores, is that true? Because I need it to be upgradeable.
Thanks to everyone who helps, I'm not very smart at these sorts of things.
