Hello there! So I've been out of the hardware loop for almost three years now. I was thinking of building a new computer. Mine runs fine on what I currently do which is just play minor games(HoN, Rift, SC2, used to play WoW) --Nothing like Crysis.....But I just wanted to see what the best advice would be for getting a new computer built. Budget:1k(since I won't be needing a monitor) Main uses of intended build:Gaming! Parts required:CPU,Mobo,Gfx card, PSU,Case(and case fans), heatsink, HDD(Don't really want to spend the extra money on a SDD as well, Ram, Can't think of anything else. At work so I may have left something out. I already have a monitor and an optical drive. Previous build information (list details of parts):Computer was made around March of 08' Antec 900 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower (case) GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Gfx card 610W PSU (PC power and cooling S61EPS Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive Win Vista 64Bit(I'm stupid?) Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU cooler Monitor resolution:I'll have to update this when I get home Storage requirements:My HD is now 240, so 1tb will be more than fine I'm sure will you be overclocking: yes/no (delete as required) If it's a good idea(like do the pro's outweigh the cons)---I currently have my CPU overclocked and it works fine with no problems so if I can ensure this, then there will be no problem with saying "yes" Any motherboard requirements (no. of USB, Xfire/SLI, fan headers):I'm kind of a newbie in terms of SLI, never really got interested in it, is it that amazing having 2 cards? Extra information about desired system:Nothing I can think of right now, just some ideas. From researching---these are just my notes. And I don't currently have Windows 7 although I wish I did....Is there a difference in the 32/64bit versions if they even exist? P67 MOBO GeForce GTX 480----Maybe----Video Card and also Radeon HD 6950 -video card Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz ---Maybe----Processor or Intel Core i5 2500K - 3.3GHz - 1MB L2 - 6MB L3 I5 Seems to be the way to go though Thank you so much in advance!!
