Hey guys. I'm getting a new desktop PC next week and I want a little help with selection.
I don't know how to build a PC and honestly I don't really have the time right now to mess with it, and I don't have the money to replace any parts if I **** up. I'm going to buy a prebuilt PC from iBuyPower.com. (if anyone has any opinions on this site, feel free to share)
Right now I'm thinking about the following PC:
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 920 Processor (4x 2.66GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
6GB RAM
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 5770 - 1GB (getting this one because it's DirectX11 compatible and 58xx series is a little out of my price range)
Motherboard: Asus P6T -- Intel X58 Chipset CrossFire and SLI Supported w/7.1 Sound, Triple-Channel DDR3, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, 3-Way SLI PCI-E MB, 3-Way SLI
700 Watt Power Supply
500 GB HDD
Windows 7
How is this for a gaming PC? It comes out to about $1100.
My goal is to play Aion maxed out at 1080p without lag... and other games, too.
Nothing super intense like Crysis or whatever, though. Mostly MMORPGs.
Anything I could/should change? Areas where I can be more cost effective? Suggestions?
I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I want a good machine. Thanks in advance.
