*EDITED* *EDITED* PART 2
I've RE-UPDATED the POST to suggestions.. here are the items belos the questions:
LEASE when you POST threads asking for input on system builds tell us...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
gaming (fpsers mostly) as well as CAD entertainment renderings (intensive)
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
3000 usd
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA
4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
No preference, but eVGA has always treated me right.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Keeping my mouse and keyboard and monitor (will replace monitor for a high-end 30" eventually so want to plan for that.. with the 2560X1600 resolution).
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
many many threads.. most dont cover a 3k rig though.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
overclocking as best I can (novice)
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with.
eventually 2560X1600
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
this month!
10. Don't ask for a build configuration critique or rating if you are thin skinned.
I love critique! I need all the input I can get! Not a proud person..why i'm coming to you guys before I buy!
