Alright guys...I've decided I'm going to upgrade my PC. Ive decided I'm going to get a desktop. Instead of boring you with mundane details about my current setup..let me simply preface my post by stating I do not need a monitor or any other peripherals...simply the tower.
My budget is around $1000. I want to get the best system possible. I do some gaming...
Obviously I would like to get the best value for my money and I'm asking here instead of being brainwashed by salespeople.
Questions:
1. Can I reasonably expect to buy a unit that wont be overly outdated in the next 2-3 years for this price range?
2. Most importantly, what combination of processor and memory should I be looking for?
3. I already own a GeForce 8800GT Alpha Dog GPU (sitting in my closet)...from what I know this is still a decent GPU so I don't *think* I need one...will upgrade this in the future.....
Again, looking for the best possible setup for the money....something that I wont need to upgrade for a couple years.
Thanks in advance!!
