New Computer Contest
Okay my parents gave me a price range of $2200-$2500 for a new computer, with screen.
I have no idea about compatiables with PC hardware, so I am giving the subsim community the chance to design a new computer for me! Have fun, cool case would be nice, make her powerful! She is to be geared to gaming. Must have: at least: 500GB hard drive 4GB RAM Quad-core processor 2x HD capable video cards 1x DVD-ROM (writable) V8 or a V10 coolermaster for the CPU(i have a v8 that is 2weeks old, so i rather just use the same) No smaller than a 24'' screen Not loud! Optional: Blu-Ray player Hi-Def sound card HD screen Mid or Full size tower Water-Cooling Good Luck, I need to order by July 10th. Thank you, Ivan

Make sure you have a power supply that can handle current and future specs.
Your components should specify what they need as far as power. Is your hard drive large enough, how about a 1 TB of HD space. Ram, is 4 gigs enough looking ahead? Anyway, my .02 at the moment

With $2K, you can make yourself an Uber machine these days. I usually spend $2500+ on an upgrade. THings are so cheap these days though that this upgrade I just did cost less than $1000. Way less.
Of course I already have a nice case and a nice PSU and I have a few HD's I re-used, but the CPU, motherboard, video card, RAM that I bought, including a Blu-Ray burner (8x LG no less) still ran less than $1K this time around. -S

If you want quiet and excellent cooling - with that budget - why not go liquid cooling? With the 2 HD capable linked cards, your going to be pushing major heat. If noise is a concern - liquid all the way.

http://www.google.com/products/catal...tle#ps-sellers Processor. (you might be able to get the e 8500, but there probably isnt much difference.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129021 case only cost 100 dollars now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131182 the motherboard. http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr650wpsu.aspx powersupply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152052 DVD drive. (I got the motherboard and CPU from newegg, came in good condition, in packing peanuts.) Im guessing between 1,500 and 1,800 dollars. http://www.hannspree.com/US/product_...=23792&c=25693 monitor.
