Sir_Squab Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'm not an expert in building computers, but given how much computers improve over the course of a year, I don't think you should look into it now. Your title says in the near future of a year or more, so that's when you should start looking tbh. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

Your title says in the near future of a year or more, so that's when you should start looking tbh. There are some builds that will last a few years, so I asked. Its true, technology is increasing exponentially. Due to prices changing with the new upcoming generation, what you would consider buying now might not even be worth it in 1 year times (Windows 8 might come in 2012). Also now HDD prices are horrible lmao. If you're going for a build make sure you grab some good thermal paste along with an aftermarket headsink/fan if your board supports overclocking.

JPMC Mate Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 EDIT: Would this build be good, but replacing 6870 with 6970 graphics of the same brand? Really?

Guy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you're going to buy this in 1 year, don't bother looking up for parts now. Things are being released very soon (AMD 7000 series and IVB) which will change what is offered and change prices around. Things, while they will still be good, will be out of date in 1 year from now, so just post again in a year.

JPMC Mate Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am considering building sooner than that, maybe 2 months or so, and am kind of disappointed in the suggestions so far.

JPMC Mate Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Actually, I'll just ask elsewhere, cuz no one has yet to give me a build.. Really?

Guy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Actually, I'll just ask elsewhere, cuz no one has yet to give me a build..I'm very happy to help, but you're changing your timescale around quite a bit. First one year, now 2 months. It's better to plan builds within the week you're buying them, not the month or year, otherwise stuff just gets outdated.

Lord Diddy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The i5 route might be a bit more expensive, but extremely worthwhile, the 2500k I personally use is phenomenal (Granted you buy some aftermarket cooling) CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428DVDROM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204Case: Pretty much up to you, it's whatever is aesthetically pleasing for you.

JPMC Mate Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes, I am set on i5 Processors now. :) Thanks Lord! EDIT: I found a format to use so it can be clear what I really want:Approximate Purchase Date: within a week or soBudget Range: $1000, although I would really prefer if you don't use all $1000 in suggesting components, including monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Lord Diddy Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You're welcome, the only thing that you might want to have a deeper look at is the motherboard. I went and got a P8P67 Pro, which was by far a very amazing board, one click and it took my i5 from 3.2ghz stock speed and overclocked to 4.1ghz (With the suggested heatsink + artic silver thermal paste). Its a few bucks more but its really quality. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131770 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One the the best values for performanceDVDRW- If it works it works RAM - The other deal for the Ripjaws 8gb 4gbx2 for $30 was amazing shame it sold out, just buy another one of these later on and keep adding to ramMonitor - I've never heard of that brand before in my life, I'd be weary of this one. I'd pay an extra 10 bucks and go for another company than risk having it die on me. --And only 2 reviews, yikes-- :ohnoes: GPU - Good high end card.PSU- Its good, and its modular so no mess with cables. Might want to check your watts and see if you are future proofing your build (In that case get a 650+ according to what you need).Keyboard/Mouse- I honestly gave up on wireless keyboard and mice a long time ago, I like wired for no hassle plug and play. No having to deal with losing connection bull.Case- LOVE IT. The Haf series from Cooler master are amazing, looks and durability.HDD - Sounds good, maybe go for an SSD? And recycle your old HDD as storage. HDD prices are a bit insane now but SSD are in a decent price range. It is up to you but I really have to stress and remind you about aftermarket cooling and thermal paste for your processor. Overclocking on the stock fan is simply not worthwhile. Check demensions of your PC case to make sure (if you do buy one) that it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMC Mate Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 I only have two computers. One is a laptop and the other one is a Profile 5 Gatewat (all-in-one). The Profile 5 has 80 GB HDD, but my mom uses that computer still. What should I get for overclocking, aftermarket cooling, and thermal paste? Really?

Askthedude Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The stock cooler is good for upto around 4Ghz, after that you want something like this.Might also want to consider a 2GB card for that resolution, depending on what games you are planning on playing and how high graphic settings are going to be. Something like this. Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

JPMC Mate Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thanks for the Heat Sink and Thermal Compound! As for the Graphics Card, I just want one that runs almost any game without lag, good graphic settings, and good video quality. EDIT: Changed the PSU to CORSAIR 650W and got a better deal on RAM.

Guy Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Ok, NOW it is REALLY done: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13328589What do you think now?The 212Evo comes with thermal paste preapplied, there is no real need to spend $13 on some more. Just a note that the mouse is out of stock. Personally I'd bump up the monitor to 22" or 23", but if your budget does not allow that and you are happy with a 21.5" then by all means it's still great. I'm wary of the open box nature of the motherboard: Newegg only guarantees your receipt of the Open Box product with the purchase of this item. Any accessories MAY OR MAY NOT be included. Newegg will NOT send you any missing accessories' date=' even if it is required to use all of the item's functions.[/b'] An new one of the same motherboard is only $10 more, so get that instead.
