I'm trying to figure out a decent build for a gaming computer for approx. $2,000 to around $2,500.
I'm trying to figure out what would be the best gear possible for that money without using too much hardware that programs won't be able to use fully for the next few years.
Unfortunately while I know some comp. terms, I've only built one PC before and that was 2 years ago.
This machines power would be focused on gaming (i.e. Crysis + World of Warcraft, both of which I'd like to be able to play at the highest quality levels without lag).
What kind of video card would i need for this?
Any suggestions for RAM sticks and CPU's?
I'll try to find some gear on newegg and post them. Until then any help would be awesome!!
