borealcold Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hello, i am a gamer and a first time builder. I'm in need of some help here with the setup of my new gaming pc. Here's what i have so far: MO.BO: Gigabyte EP35-DS3P CASE: Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 900 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 Audio VIDEO CARD: XFX 8800 GT CPU: Intel e8400 CPU Cooler: Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro RAM: G.Skill 4GB DDR2 1066 ram Harddrive: Western Digital 320GB 7200rpm (NEED two) Harddrive: Western Digital 320GB 7200rpm Monitor: ViewSonic VX1940w 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 2ms, 1000:1(3000:1DC), WSXGA+ 1680x1050, DVI, VGA ________________________________________________________ Now i gather that this rig will cost me about $1100, which is basically the maximum i can spend. So price range is 800-1200 MAX Let's just assume that i know nothing of how to build a gaming pc, and have no parts currently but with only $800-$1200 to spend. Is this a good list of what i want to be looking for? For the price range i'm after. Any help/tips would greatly be appreciated.

Synaesthesia Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 This is a great list. The Antec 900 is a bit crazy though, if you don't like noisy fans, get another case. (Antec Sonata) Otherwise, awesome! This is a hardware list which I found. almost exactly the same as yours.. It works out to $882!
