Well if you let me know exactly what you plan on using the computer for and a price range I can put some options together and I'm sure everyone here can help too.

Price range 1k-1500 or so. Use racing/star wars/shooter games, and i really like watching subbed anime with great picture and sound. I know the dell stuff is not that good but i do have the 5.1 computer speaker setup that came with my xps.

How did I know the OP was gonna have a brand-new system?

What I don't see is any type of RAID or real-time offsite backup. WTF is wrong with you?

It's almost 2012, Steve. We don't store porn on our own drives anymore.

Here is the budget build that I did for my GF:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840 (3.2GHz)
Motherboard: MSI 880G-E45
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR3-1333(I think?)
HDD: Seagate 1.5TB (bought it before the prices jumped because of the shortage)
GPU: 1GB MSI R6770
PSU: Cooler Master 460W
Case: Thermaltake mid-tower

We did this for less than $600 and it runs BF3 on High at 1680x1050 with ease.

That would probably be plenty for my needs and at that price i could get two more monitors.

Well, you wouldn't want to try to play any games with a multi-monitor config with this system. Plus the R6770 only supports two. For a single monitor configuration it's a great performer, though.

Enjoy

Over $5K setup.

Just got my PC moved into my new apartment. I need to pick up another power strip before I start to tidy up the cables, but here's what I'm working with right now:

The desk is Ikea tabletop that wraps around the entire office.

I've been trying to get used to my new G13 gameboard. I like the LCD screen... I've got it monitoring CPU core temps and load.

nuTinmuch · 01-01-2012, 01:13 AM

Did you build the desk/table or did you pick it up somewhere?
