I'm looking to get a new computer in the next few weeks. I'm still using a 2 year old Acer laptop, it has served me well, but I've outgrown it.
I'll use it mostly for gaming, such as Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, SW:ToR, etc. And other general computer stuff.
My budget is probably between 600-900. I won't cut any corners on spending, I'm fairly flexible; but I also want to save as much as I can.
My question to you is, should I build one from scratch, or just buy a manufactured OEM computer from my local Bestbuy or other store?
I've come up with the following list from NewEgg, please tell me what you think.
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
Motherboard: Asroc 970 Extreme3 AM3+
Hard Drive: Western Digital RE4 500 GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA
Video: GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Power Supply: Corsair 80 Plus 750W
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaw 8 GB DDR3 1600
Case: Antec 900 Mid Tower
Total: $970
I still need a monitor and of course Windows. I'd like to go a bit cheaper than that, if possible, without skimping on anything, if you know what I mean. Any suggestions?
