Hey guys! U guys having fun with MW3? Well i don´t, kinda sucks Sad Anyways thats not so important. I´m thinking about buying a new computer now. I really need a new one when this one can´t handle programs like sony vegas which kinda sucks.Also minecraft is a game i wanna play, i had a diffrent computer when i was playing minecraft but i had to give it back to my brother (yeah i know lol) But what i´m looking for is a gaming computer maybe that can handle games like skyrim,minecraft,battlefield 3 and you know games like that. The computer is gonna be bought somewhere around the start of next year because i really don´t have the money atm.But if you guys have any suggestions for me don´t wait! Leave a reply! Smile Oh and the prize can´t be over 10000 swedish crowns which is 1490 Australian dollars,1467 american dollars or 1087 euros?(Think i got those right, googled it lol) But yeah i hope to see some suggestions because i´m terrible at computers. Smile

I put together a badass machine for my friend that cost about $1700 US dollars back in July. I'd be willing to help you out if you provided me with a link to a site that you're going to use to buy your parts.

you may be disappointed in the speed of your machine with a green hard drive its really only meant for storage lol Stick with caviar blue or black.

Anything made by XFX stay clear of, their idea of quality is lacking and thats from personal experience last thing you want is to have your power supply catch fire because a faulty assembly.

16 Gb of ram is overkill for a gaming rig unless your planning on getting into heavy video editing and design, my computer barely uses 3.5 Gb of ram out of the 8 I do have lol

Video card well im sure that will change when the 6 series comes out next year.

Maybe look into getting a solid state hard drive, highly recommend it if you want serious speed of your system.

Brands I usually like to buy when building a computer:

PSU: Corsair
HDD: Seagate
CPU: Intel
Mobo: Asus
Case: CoolerMaster
Graphics card: Nvidia
Graphics card vendor: EVGA
RAM: I used to get OCZ, but they don't make RAM anymore. I guess Corsair or Crucial are good now

That may help when you decide what parts you want in your computer.
