Hi, I am going to build a new desktop for gaming in surround, 3 screens using triple head2go digital. I'm looking to use an intel processor and nvidia card(s). Looking for the least expensive computer capable of handleing RPGs such as warhammer accross these 3 screens. If anyone could lay out the minimum specs capable of handleing this I would be graciously in debt. On a budget but realise these machines are expensive and don't want to sacrifice performance |

Budget computer does not imply a Raptor hard drive. You will do fine with just the Caviar Green, MRohe14, and you can find a hard drive cheaper than that that has a smaller capacity. It's generally a good idea to get 2x2GB instead of 4x1GB, to avoid memory compatibility problems. You can probably user your old optical drives and save some money. |

Two cheaper models in SLi would be way better bang for the buck. No software effectively utilizes quad cores yet, a decent dual core would be fine. That PSU is a good bit of overkill, you could even cut the cost of the DVD burner. It would be easy to cut that total in half and run respectably. About the only place i would say to overspend a bit is the MOBO. |
