Your MoBo won't support a intel processor..... You need to change the MoBo as well.

I changed to an Intel Z77 build. So everything is okay.

This is what I eventually went with

I am not using two monitors. At the time I thought the more video memory the better. I have already placed the order so I can't change it. That is just me being an ignorant first time gaming computer buyer. As long as it can run the game at decent to high settings I will be satisfied.

It's fine, it'll give you the option to use two monitors later on.

Simple quad core 4 gb ram or more 1 gb video card enjoy those would be my minimum for this and other games

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking for a place that is good for building custom pcs. I have about 700-900 dollar budget and i'm looking for a place that I can get the most for my money. Also if you could recommend what components i would need for good performance and graphics would really be appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance!! -Nick

My new build: All ready, just has to be put together. Playing off my brother's which is almost the exact same, just different case and I have a bigger monitor.

Are you referring to a place that will build it for you? Or just a place to buy parts? Places that custom build for you will cost in excess of $1000 in most cases.

So i got this test bench computer. Running a GTX550ti, And i just made one hell of a good overclock on it, Experts said he couldn't go beyond 1025 Mhz Core speed.

Well this are the settings right now,

Core Clock: 1250 Mhz

Memory Clock: 2450 Mhz = x2 = 4900 Mhz

Core Voltage: 1.25

Temp at full load for 2 hours BF3 at ultra, 66 Degrees.

Idle temp 40

Max fan speed at 2 hours BF3: 34%.

So its running quit good :)

So i recommend this card for its price its really fast.

Thoughts on this build? I'd prefer to run on high settings. How many FPS you think it'd handle?

Thanks!

It's okay, it won't scale very well for other games. I hate to say it, but AMD is sucking pretty badly right now. Not only do they not have an answer for Kepler, but their CPUs have been well past the point of no return for years now. And this is coming from someone with a 955 Black Edition as his CPU.

If you can front the cash, get a Kepler based nVidia card. If not, at least change the CPU to an Intel because that's going to bottleneck your performance for future games. Guild Wars 2 is a fantastic example of that if you go look up some benchmarks.

Went ahead and made the purchase with two changes ...

CPU: AMD FX-4170 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg) ***Actually ended up getting an i5-2500k instead ...

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($127.86 @ Newegg)

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($39.99 @ Newegg) ***Changed to 2 x 4GB Crucial Ballistix

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($94.62 @ Mac

Connection)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB Video Card ($237.55 @ Newegg)

Any thought's on the Alienware m14x? These are the main specifications of the system i'm thinking of buying:

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce: 650m

Processer: Intel Core i7 3610QM

Memory: 6144MB (1x2GB + 1x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 Dual Channel

Hard Disk Space: 750GB 7,200rpm SATA 3Gb/s HDD

Screen: 14.1" WideHD+ (1600x900) WLED with TrueLife

If you need to have a laptop for some reason, that would be okay for games at reasonably high details for the next year or two. I'd invest in a desktop if you don't need it to be portable.

Which one is best?

Aurora 6 Core Gaming Desktop

or

CyberPower Cobra

or this one

CyberPower PC Black Pearl
