Hello,
I am going to be building my first gaming computer and will be using dual video cards although I like to know if I should go with only one video card for the same price but better then the two I picked. I'm looking to play games like Crisis, Call of Duty 5, UT3, and the Half Life Series. Any tips on building a gaming computer in the good to great range no more than $1,300? I have done a lot of research and have picked out components in my price range and was wondering if you could take a look at the choices. My components I chose are in an attached PowerPoint document. Are these going to be suitable for my needs? I am not going for a hardcore gamer rig capable of playing Crisis on high settings, but I desire a computer that can play all the newer games with ease for a while without upgrading and be comprised of quality parts. Any suggestions, tips or ways to cut costs or increase performance? Am I using good video cards and processor? I wasn’t too sure about a hard drive either. Definitely need help with the hard drive aspect of the setup. Any recommendations on where to buy this hardware or online stores would be great. As you can see I am a little over budget so anything that can cut back on cost would be helpful, although if you believe it is a good setup and I should just dish out a little extra dough because I am asking too much performance for too little money please tell me. Last if I picked any parts that are overkill for my needs please let me know.
Greatly Appreciated,
Dawsome
