Hey guys i'm still saving up some money for my PC . Figured i'd spend around 1200 for it so why not go a little crazy  , It may be a little more though . Need help picking out a good gpu and cpu . Especially , if i wanna run games like Wolfensteing with it's 44 Gigabytes if im not mistaken . Help is needed

Going to spend $1200 on just the tower or do you need to spend some on monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. ?

Actually I been talking to a friend i play with . He gave me some specs that would run me around 2000 or more . What do you think dat ? 

Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM GTX 770 4gb 8gb Dominator Platinum 1866 (lightbar kit) Corsair 850W Modular Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full Tower

 

I do need a monitor , keyboard , and a mouse . Any good monitor sizes to play on im thinking 27 inch ? 

That's definitely a good looking build.  What are you looking for CPU wise?  27 inch is a pretty good size. I'm using a 24 inch as my primary gaming monitor. It's a good size for the distance I sit.  If you're just looking for 1080p then I'd stick with 27 or 24. Depending how far you sit from it.

 

With everyone buying new stuff around here it's giving me an itch. I sort of want to sell my GTX 690 and buy a 780 ti or maybe a titan black.

do you have skype dat ?

I don't have it installed. I do have mumble and TeamSpeak though. We are using TeamSpeak most of the time and we have a server running. If you want to drop by let me know when and I'll try to be there.

Where do i go to get in ? Never been on team speak

$1200 is a good budget for a great gaming PC. You can't go wrong with the new 4th gen i7's for a processor and I would add an SSD for faster boots and loads. But like Dat said, stop by Teamspeak and we could talk about it some more. I'm there almost every night.

You've made a good first step in deciding a budget.

Dat is the resident computer build expert but here is a few pointers I have...

 

• First decide on a graphics card.  Then build the rest of your computer around that.  AMD cards are usually cheaper (I currently have a 7970 Ghz Edition), Nvidia cards are also great if you can find a good deal (I previously had 2 GTX 460s.  SLI created some excess heat, but I was able to manage until I wanted a little more power and not deal with SLI setup so I upgraded to the AMD 7970)
• Next CPU. AMD's are cheaper, Intel's are higher quality but come at a premium.  What CPU you pick narrows your motherboard choices. (I'm still sporting an older i7 950)
• Case.  I would recommend a full tower if you can afford to spend for one.  I used to have a mid-tower, but it was much easier to work on the pc and it improved cooling when I upgraded to a Coolmaster HAF X.
• SSD.  Great for improving boot times, but they do come at a cose.  I have an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB for running Windows 7, but I'd recommend the Intel SSD's.  I have a buddy who has one and it honestly seems to perform a little better than my OCZ.

These Crucial MX100s reviewed really well for their price.  SSD is a must anymore, especially at these prices.

 

Only $108 for the 256GB version
