Alright, this computer my friend gave me is good but I think in due time, it's not going to do what I need it to do. I know I've tried this multiple times but now that I have an excellent job and better budgeting, I think I can build a comp for real this time around. This is mainly pointed at static who has built a computer for me on like 209830289623 different occasions now.
My needs are simple, I need a gaming comp that can run what's out now at near top specs. Intel please (Sorry AMD fans). I don't need a mouse, keyboard, speakers, or a monitor. Just need everything in the actual tower.
As for my budget, I think about 1,200 or so. I'm willing to give or take. Work your magic people.
One more for the road.

One more for the road.
by Demigod on Wed Jul 28, 2010 1:39 am
We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow, Our journey on towards a brighter day.
Silent tears we left behind, still so far away. Across the endless sands,
Through the fields of our despair. Dream for all eternity, we stand, yeah.
Rise above the universe tonight,
Starchaser...
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there. Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands. There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
Cause nobody wants to go it on their own, and everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere? There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

$1200 is quite a sum. For that, USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s are pretty much standard.
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySa ... ID=9754789
I threw a Blu Ray Burner in for kicks and giggles. It came comboed with some glasses, BD media and free 3D software.
The case is really neat. It has a USB 3.0 port on the front and a dual HDD dock build into the top. Pretty wicked for $118 shipped.
I wanted to put an 875k in with 2x4GB of RAM, but it actually went above budget. Don't worry, a 750 with 2x2GB will be plenty for gaming. It's the 5850 that counts.
I got you in for about $1130 shipped after a $15 rebate.

It's public on my end.
Why can't we upload .pdf's? I printed the wishlist to a .pdf to preserve formatting. I tried to attach it, but no dice.

I did a general search and found it. Just type in 'Demigod' in the bar and he saved it as "Demigod 7.28.10"
I'm looking through it atm and looks good so far!
EDIT: This is probably a stupid question but this comes without the OS correct? I have to buy that separately?

You can get a six-core CPU that outperforms most i7's and can match the i7 Extremes for around $300. Guess who's the manufacturer? AMD. Why are you against it?

We interrupt this thread to bring you breaking coverage. Demigod prefers Intel over AMD. What will this mean for either company? Stay tuned at 9.
