My girlfriend wants a she-beast of a computer so we can play L4D2 together and possibly Dead Island and other new-ish games as well as World of Warcraft.
She's currently running a 6-year old HP with an nvidia 6600, 2 gigs of grandmother ram and a dual core processor that sits at like 1.9 ghz or something.
It doesn't need to be as high end as mine, but here's what I've thrown together very quickly just to get a price estimate for her.
Antec Three Hundred Case
Gigabyte GA-990XA AM3/AM3 + Motherboard
Hawk Radeon 5770 HD 1GB
Antec BP550 550W Continuous PSU
G. Skill Ripjaws 2x2GB 240p DDR3 1600 Ram
AMD Phenom II x4 3.2ghz Black Edition
If anybody can scout cheaper equivalents or perhaps a better deal on a higher end part (Happens all the time) let me know! I just want some feedback on a decent but sort of inexpensive build.
This is probably overkill for what she wants.
Price range, under $800 CAD
Any help is greatly appreciated.
