I stopped by the computer repair shop in town today and found out they build custom PCs. I spoke with a very knowledgeable guy who had built one for himself for gaming just recently. He gave me their web address (www.tincg.com) and after playing around on it for awhile this is what I came up with. This is my first gaming PC (Have used consoles since the NES.) so I am pretty much relying on a company like this to build it for me since I have no idea how to put one together yet. If I did know how I would just order all the components from Amazon.com because they have the cheapest prices I have come across so far.
Oh and if there is anything I should change let me know. (wasn't quite sure about the PSU.)
Anyways here are the specs:
Processor: Quad-Core Intel® Core™ i7-950 3.06GHz
Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D Premium - ATX - Intel® X58 Chipset
Memory: 3 x Crucial 4GB PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3
Chassis: Antec NSK4482 - ATX Mid Tower - 380 Watt Power Supply
Power Supply: Corsair HX850 - Modular - 850W Power Supply
Hard Drive: 1TB SATA 7200RPM (Too much memory???)
5.25" Bay: Samsung 22x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer LightScribe (The other were all blu-ray drives. don't have much use for that.)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 1280MB GDDR5 (2xDVI, 1xmini HDMI)
Monitor: 24" LCD - 1920x1080 - ASUS VE246H
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
So how's it look? Overkill? I have always wanted to play Crysis and Witcher. I really want them to look stellar on whatever setup I get, if at all possible.
EDIT: Is a gaming mouse/ keyboard preferable or are these devices merely gimmicks to fool ignorant people like myself?
