I've got an above average knowledge of computers, I've exchanged parts myself on my current pc among other various things. However this is my first time building one from the ground up.
Battlefield 3 Ultra Quality & Ultra Performance PC
I've been looking at this and contemplating this build for awhile and have gotten mixed review on it. Some say you don't need the extra card, etc, etc. I want to know what you guys think. Should I stick with this build or could somebody put me one together at a better cost (cheaper).
Approximate Purchase Date: Putting an order in tonight would be awesome, but I want to give everyone a chance to put in their two cents, so by the end of this weekend I would like to reach a final decision.
Budget Range: Anywhere up to $2200, this is to include everything including os, etc. (Preferably right about $2000 at the most after mail in rebates)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Schoolwork, Media, Surfing.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg OR TigerDirect
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: Only preferences are Intel/Nvidia
Overclocking: Doesn't matter
SLI or Crossfire: Doesn't matter
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: My goal is to basically have a PC that can run BF3 on ultra with a good frame rate (something that will last a couple years/be easily upgraded if need be) and something quiet. Preferably fan cooled, never used liquid cooling, but i'm open to it as long as it's not TOO complicated.
