Hello everyone, I recently got excited about bulild my own computer. I'm looking for an overall high performance computer, and a good gaming rig. Doesn't have to be a dream machine, or a super-computer. 30-40 average fps is great for me. 1000$ is my limit, thoughts?
You can get 30-40 FPS on a $400 system. Also, think you might regret the openess of your, uh, username.
What the hell? Lol thanks, oops. So you're saying that these 750$-1000$ systems are made for something like 60 fps??
if you need an OS in the price or if you live in a different country let me know
shouldn't be a game it would get lower than 40FPS unless its crazy 2560x1600 stuff
I live in Canada, and sadly whenever I click your links they don't bring me to the CPU,GPU etc, they bring my to the homepage at newegg.ca. I do need an OS, so I can just add 100$ for Windows 7

alright I'll make a canadian build sometime
Very VERY helpful, I appreciate your time, although it is over my budget. I don't really need super high graphic settings, I'd just like to play games on normal settings with like 35-40 fps. I can't believe this forum is so helpful!
Alright.
Also for games, I'd like to play Garry's mod, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, and possibly GW2 or Starcraft 2. (and hundreds of others :D)
Then i would go with a 7850 when the price drops and a 2500k or the 2450p (limited oc)

i'll get crap for this but you could go am3+ 119 for a ud3 mb and 150 for an fx8120 about 10% slower than the i5 but it can out proform the i5 in HEAVILY THREADED apps ie Virtual machines

am3+ mb http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=61850&vpn=GA-990XA-UD3&manufacture=Gigabyte&promoid=1061
if you go the amd route and go with the 7850 @160 then youl,l be at about 830 cad then you could get your windows os and put the money into a better cooler and still be under 1k before mail in savings
Okay, thank you very much.
