Websurfing, Word Processing, Music, Blizzard Gaming 1920x1080 resolution
900-1200 Canadian
Purchase parts from Canada
No brand preference
I have read plenty of threads on this forum on cpus/gpus but would like specifically tailored advice.
Plan to run at default speeds
Within 1-2 months (preferably before SC2 is released)
I am in need of a new computer! My current computer is as follows
# Operating system:Windows 2.5.1.2600 (SP 3)
# CPU type:AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800
# CPU Speed (GHz):2.03
# System memory (GB):0.999
# Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
# Desktop resolution:1920x1080
400 w psu
A8N-SLI MOBO with PCI E v1 Slot
Was hoping to get a new computer however I was wondering if potentially I could just put a new video card into there and use that.
The most demanding task this computer will be used for will be running blizzard games like SC2 and Diablo 3 in 1920x1080 resolution preferably at max settings at 60+ FPS.
Anybody have any parts reccomendations? I know a bit about videocards and cpus but not much about motherboards or ram how big of a power supply will I need?
Is AMD phenom 965 x4 Black Edition better or worse then an i5 750?
How powerful of a video card will I need?
All help appreciated!
Here is a sample build I have thrown together so far if that helps. Could you show me any areas to cut costs?
