Need a new computer!

[Tornstol]

Tech Forum!
In a couple of weeks, it's gonna be my 17th birthday!
I've been saving some cash to buy a new computer, a decent desktop were I can bot,play wow/skyrim/minecraft on the highest settings available.
It would be nice if someone came up with a nice build, budget is set to 1500$ as maximum.
If possible three screens, if my budget allows it!

may i ask why three screens? i personally run two, and thats only when im streaming.

are you going to be gaming, and running other programs like photoshop or something on the other monitors, or are you aiming for 3 monitor display for gaming?

Yeah, your budget would be too tight for eyefinity. Think it over again and let us know.

I will be gaming mainly and photoshop on the 3rd one.

that seems do-able on a $1500 budget, will see what i can piece together, any preference on resolution?

The best one I could get, I already have a old LG monitor but meh it's old and not lcd but it's flat screen.

Hardest part will be getting a decent enough GFX card capable of 3 monitor display, and the 3 monitors for budget. i paid $175 for my 24" 1080p one, but that was on sale. my rig was about $1200 with mouse keyboard aswell.

Quality>Quantity.

I've been lurking around newegg,amazon and it seems with my budget I can get some pretty neat stuff, but no clue on how to get them together and make a nice build, never have built a pc from scratch before.

 

[chillinggg]

It's true 1500$ is an alright budget, but why would you want 3 cheap monitors instead of 1 or 2 great ones ? Opting for less monitors would also allow you to have better gaming experience as far as smooth gameplay is concerned.

 

[kubaxplx]

$1500 will be a lil hard to do with 3 monitors. Maybe buy 2 at first and then when u get some extra cash buy the 3rd one.

 

[Tornstol]

I decided to downgrade my 3 monitors, with 2 good lcd ones!

Thats a better option For this money with 2 monitors u should be able to build a pretty good PC. What GPU do u prefer? Nvidia or Radeon? Same with processor(Intel or AMD), or u dont really care and just look for the best money can buy?

I don't know much about intel or amd, which is best between those 2. I want the best perfomance possible and well being in my price range , the best I could get plus I would like a smooth experience while botting/playing/rendering and all.

All this for around $1600 but after you do the rebates you should be in the $1500 range. I think this would be a solid build. For shipping all these parts you have to pay $28 but you can get a free trial of ShopRunner for 30 days that will get you the shipping for FREE and 2 day shipping as well! So thats another $28 saved. With savings on shipping as well as rebates you will be easily below your price range.

Total rebates for all: $100

Is the gfx and the ram you've put together, enough for running skyrim/minecraft/runescape while botting aswell.

It will kill these games. And it shouldnt be a problem to bot at the same time as well.

You should also check out microcenter dot com and see if their store is any close to your location because for some of these parts they have better prices. You would save there $35 on GPU and $40 on CPU as well as $2 on the DVD burner. Exact same items. But you would have to go there in person cause their shipping is expensive. If you could get these 3 things and save ~80$ then you can always spend them on extra 8gb of ram.

Thanks alot amte, does the graphic card supports 3?

Definitely, I'd suggest using this card for up-to 6 way EyeFinity and for highly OCable memory clock.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-111970340g
It's more expensive than the PowerColor one (PowerColor isn't the best GPU brand, but it's not bad either) and it's better for Eyefinity!
