Hi all, I am new here, but I hear this is a really nice site! Just wondering everyone's ideas on what I have come up with so far for my new computer. This will be my first time building my own computer, but I think I can handle it with a little help :)
Here is a screenshot of my shopping cart at newegg so far:
This will be a multi-tasking PC, mainly for some web-design, graphics rendoring, and gaming, but nothing hardcore. Just want a nice desktop that will be decent for years to come. The most graphics demanding games I play right now are FFXI and CNC3.
If you've got a mouse and keyboard, that should be all you need. The PSU is still ample, if not overkill, for that system. You could run that lot off a 650W with ease.
I'll restate my concern over the graphics card though, you can either get an HD4870 for $170, a better 1GB HD4870 for not much over $200, or if you want the best for $400, get one of these:
