High tech gaming pc.

TheBLACKOUTGOW · 12-29-2008, 01:22 AM

I want TOP performance, I can spend up to about 2,500.00 (If you seen my previous post it was 500 dollars, I made quite a upgrade XD). I'd like someone to list all the pc parts I would need to create a fully functional gaming pc. (Also, I will be getting a laptop. You don't need to but if you like, I'd like to have someone build that to)
_____________________________________________________________
Side note - the desktop computer will be running on 3 monitors, (Tripple Head to go), Also I want Windows vista on both systems 62 bit.

For one its Vista 64 bit :-) 2 the parts you need would be a: PSU, some decent ram, Motherboard, Processor, if you're overclocking decent aftermarket cpu cooler, 2 gpu's atleast (if you are running 3 monitors) hard drives, Disk drives, Case and some fans. For psu I'd check the "PSU Information and selection" and choose one of those reccomended ones, for gpu's I'd reccomend a really nice ATI hd4800 Card (4830, 4850, 4870) Recommending mainly 2 4870's in Crossfire. For psu Go with intel FTW a core 2 quad q9300. For mobo go with probably any p45 chipset (For gaming) possibly an asus maximus formula II. And would go with some nice corsair ram, and a 1tb western digital and a zalman cooler for the CPU and an antel 900 (I have a 300 and LOVE it) and Of course just scour newegg for some case fans even though the 900 has more than enough but you can never have enough cooling

3 monitors is going to mean 2 unlinked video cards are you going to game on all 3 monitors what size and resolution are we talking?

TheBLACKOUTGOW · 12-29-2008, 04:34 AM

Yes I'm going to game on all 3, Size is 22 inches, I'm not very sure about resolution is their a good size you could recommend? (Thanks for the speedy reply.)

Have a look at this there is a lot of different configs to used with that budget amount, this one should let you upgrade in 2-3yrs to get a fresher system.
The monitors are 1080p HD complaint HDMI,DVI inputs

Don't go with the gtx 260, It's actually a **** card. Just look in video card section heaps of low performance threads for the 260 aswell as ATI is just out performing so much.

Spyder228 · 12-29-2008, 07:27 AM

I don't know if I'd go with 3 monitors. Just seems like a wasted of money. Why not just buy a really big single monitor, like a 32 in.?

So that would explain why the Video Card forum is full of problems with the HD4800 series than

groudon185p · 12-29-2008, 08:11 AM

You dont know how many forums i've seen with 260 problems, much much more than the 4800.

TheBLACKOUTGOW · 12-29-2008, 12:44 PM
