Newegg wishlist:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12280087&WishListTitle=PC
I realize a couple items are sold out but don't plan on starting until early/mid august. And there are some combo savings and rebates that don't show up on wishlists so should be less than $1400, trying to keep it under $1500.
Ive done a little research into what would make a good computer with a strong price/performance. I'm wondering if this system will work out well for my needs, and if everything will sync in the end.
I game a little, but don't care about running max settings. I need pretty much everything because my last system is pretty old so I can't exactly scavenge for older parts if i want a modern PC. I would like whatever system I get/build to last for quite a while and plan on going SLI/Crossfire to try to keep up with games later on in this computers life.
I chose a headset since I will be living in an apartment and figure I'll use the home theater to annoy the neighbors, plus it saves some room. Also, I am fairly certain i will need to use a wireless network to connect this computer since placement of the cable outlet is inconvenient to where I want the computer.
There is one more thing. I dont know what OS to use. Ive never used Vista before, is it a good time to try it out? And should I go ahead and use a 64-bit version like Vista home premium 64bit OEM?
I built a system a long time ago around summer 2000 and had a horrible experience, hopefully this goes better.
Thanks for your help in advance!
