Hello again. It's planning time for my second build.
I already have the case and windows 7/64, ram and periphreals. I need to find a combination of processor and motherboard (prefer AMD) that will play nice together and not break the bank.
My minimum requirements are for it to work well playing movies, and playing WoW cataclysm and Assassin's Creed and still be up to most of the latest games.
Do you think I need a quad core and if so, how high to you think I will have to aim in funds to accomplish that?
I am trying to keep the build under 400, closer to $350 would be ideal.
Also should add that I haven't chosen the harddrive or psu yet as I think it will depend on how much money I have left. I plan to get the best psu for the money that will cover my needs and then the size of the hd will depend on funds. I can always upgrade that later. And as for graphics, If I don't get decent onboard with the mobo I will look into that also.
The case is the
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Com...
and memory is
Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM D...
Can't wait for your suggestions!
