Gaming Computer (1 Viewer)

[iRuler]

I work in a computer shop, ~70% of all hard drives that fail are WD, seagate was bad, but have recently improved.

I still wouldn't trust them (yet).

And yea RAM basicaly is the same, but I mean if your looking for a high performance gaming machine then high-speed is probably better.

yes/no depends

Anyway rough estimate on some priving if you want it one sometihng we just built:
i7 2600K, Gigabyte UD7 mobo, SLI 560Ti's, 16gb RAM, 120gb SSD, 2tb hdd, Antec DF85 Case, 1000w PS for about $2600

System is way too overkill and too expensive, could make it a lot cheaper tbh.

hate on WD?
Seagate still has their flaws but i'd rather it over the WD

dont rush a build coz' your dying to play, save another 300-400 on top of your 500 and your looking at a quality build that will last ALOT longer than a small upgrade that would be bottlenecked by your lacking cpu

I have a HP-Dv5 series, I got it 4-5years ago and I can play any game, even those you can get today. I never had a problem with it and never have upgraded it. I would recommend it (If you weren't going to custom build one)

Mine has a 512MB graphics card Intel, but i would recommend a 1GB graphics card (I forgot the name but i will post a link soon)

$2600 on a computer for gaming...ergh...

It is so much, especially since it will become obsolete in a year
