Custom Desktop

[Slash GnR]

Hello!

Recently, i got fed up of my PC and well... it sucked so i pretty much bashed it up Im looking forward to customise my CPU mainly, my budget is about $1000-$1200. Im looking for Internal HD , RAM, GFX Card, Processor, Sound Card.
The main purpose is gaming, not only RS, but heavy games requiring good specs such as Call of Duty, Skyrim, Fifa, GTA and the list goes on... now im not talking , enough for just running the game, i want it to run perfectly, smoothely. Also, maybe for running atleast 2-3 bots at a time, for RS. Lag is no issue, i got a 12mbps connection.

Dont think im gonna be needing any gear upgrades as i currently have:
Razer Naga MMOG mouse, Microsoft Lifechat LX3000 headgear ( pretty good, and cheap) Samsung Monitor, 1020p HD LED. I hope someone will be able to help me, my main focus is RAM , Hard Disk , Processor, GFX, Sound card .

Thanks for reading

Since your headphones aren't that good, no need for soundcard since the motherboard one is more than sufficient.

You can change the case to your likings. Memory doesn't matter either, just buy 1.5v one since Sandy Bridge likes it over 1.65v but 1.65v will work too.

I'd rather go with 2x 480's than the 7950..

Also, I'd get this RAM. It's more expensive, but it will better take advantage of the mobo's capabilities with the 2133 mhz. It's ready for quad channel, in case you want that in the future. And it's 16GB, so you'll have plenty.

For HD, I suggest Western Digital Caviar Black.. It's $10 more, but the best and only drives I use.

The biggest problem im facing right now is, location. I live in India, and its getting a pain finding the right parts here... Theres always online shopping ofcourse, (which i prefer) but Shipping is the problem.... if im able to find like 1 part, but it is only good with the other, im unable to find someone who can ship both parts to me :| thanks for your help though

Well.. you could try getting someone in another country to buy the parts from newegg or something, then mail them to you..

If you had me do it, I'd even assemble it for you.


But you're probably best just finding a local retailer.

So, instead of a brand new GFX u would rather get 2 very old ones? They're hot as hell and very powerhungry. And crossfire doesn't come without problems aka. micro stuttering.


And it only works at 2133mhz overclocked, you can overclock 1600mhz to that too without paying anything extra, but why would u since theres no difference (gaming wise that is.)
And F3 is as good as it gets, if you prefer WD then go with that.
