Help with Build
 

I need someone to help me configure a build with a budget of 1000-1500$, I need everything monitor, mouse, keyboard and all. I would prefer all the parts be from the same website. This pc will be used for gaming (bf3, WoW and such). I appreciate all the help I can get, this will be my first pc I will build, and I need all the help I can get.:blush:

If you like any of these builds let me know and ill find you the extras (Monitor, Keyboard, etc.)

Re: Help with Build
 

I like the 1200$ one, but I would prefer a little better graphics card, but if that would push it over the price range with every item included then I will deal with that graphics card.

Re: Help with Build
 

I would also prefer on the 1200 build that the hard drive would be 1tb

Re: Help with Build
 

Please give me some time to add in your extra options and ill post back with the finished build.

If I have this correct you want:

• Better Graphics Card
• 1TB HDD
• Monitor
• Mouse
• Keyboard
• Windows OS?

If theres anything else you'll need, please let me know.

Also are you looking at the AMD build or the Intel build?

Re: Help with Build
 

I am looking at the intel, and yes that is it. Yes to Os. Thank you.

Re: Help with Build
 

Ok it the price is going to come close.

Since you want the $1200 build plus extras it came out to be a bit more.

I kept the graphcs card the same due to that is a high quality graphics card. It should handle gaming just fine.

Let me know what you think of this build.

Re: Help with Build
 

It looks good, now I just have to wait and see if my money comes in before the sale ends, how long do i have?

Re: Help with Build
 

Not sure. Maybe a month or two? Could be more depending on the item.

Re: Help with Build
 

Ahh I'm getting it in a 5-7 days so I should be good. Now just comes with building it...lol

Re: Help with Build
 

Ask for help along the way if you need it.

Re: Help with Build
 

Also will you be needing Speakers for the computer?

Re: Help with Build
 

For gaming purposes, you would get more benefit keeping the CPU at an i5-2500k and purchasing either a more powerful video card or a second monitor. Otherwise I think Masterchief's example is spot-on, like his aim with plasma grenades.

Re: Help with Build
 

I would also suggest the i 2500k and save $100.
If no OC'ing will be involved you can drop the aftermarket CPU cooler and save another $40.

Re: Help with Build
 

Wouldn't two monitors instead of three be distracting since you are looking directly towards a bezel?

Re: Help with Build
 

I don't see any mention from the OP about using more than one monitor.

Re: Help with Build
 

Not for Eyefinity, just to have a second monitor. Having a second monitor is an immense improvement for multitaskers like myself. I like to keep my hardware monitors, web browsers, voice chat programs, etc. open on the second. You keep your focus on the primary monitor, most likely a widescreen, then have a cheap 4:3 monitor off to the side.

To give you an idea on how Battlefield 3 will look:

I don't either! Needlessly pushing stuff the poster does not require!
