re: Just ordered a new pc today

wow I'm glad I asked. Looks like I will have to give it some more thought. There are lots of kits that don't include a video card so maybe I need to look into one of those and then buy a vid card separate.

ok so i will look for a kit minus the vid card...

I should be ok with 8 gigs if DDR3.
I'll want a processor that is at least 3.0ghz (probably will seek out the i5 3.3 cause I hear so many good things about it).
Is diablotek a good brand of psu and what kind of watt should I be looking for?

Then to my next question video cards...these are my weakest point because I haven't followed them for so long.. I don't really have a preference between radeon and geforce but for each one what model would be the minimum I would want to run my settings at max?

oh and the monitor I will be using is Asus 24" HD

re: Just ordered a new pc today

Yeah don't get the galaxy.

Never heard of diablotek, looks iffy. Get something with ~30A on the +12 rails and 80 plus certified.

I usually spend around $150-$200, and I hate going over $200-250 for any single component.

Here are a few I've been looking at (50, 100 and 175 range). I get stuff from newegg, but Im sure you can find the equivalents at tigerdirect.

re: Just ordered a new pc today

i've decided I'll just get the parts myself rather than a kit Happy

i'm gonna go with this video card I think
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870

Any suggestions when picking a mobo? I'm gonna get the Intel I5 Quad 3.3
So I know that I need to match up the chipset to make sure the mobo is compatible. Just wondering if there are any other things I should watch out for Happy
