    Last mininute second opions - first time buyer

    • Budget - 1300
    • Resolution - A 22/24inch monitor would be preferred.
    • Games / Settings Desired - Conformable with WoW 25mans. Current laptop gets 7fps in 10mans and its just not fun .. Looking for something that would handle 25mans on high graphic settings with ~60fps. Looking to get into competitive PvP with a buddy in MOP so high FPS would be nice there. Looking forward to playing Rome II Total Wars. Might end up moving some of my xbox games over to the PC.. elder scrolls, CoD, ect.
    • Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
    • Country - US
    • Parts that can be reused - None
    • Do you need an OS?
    • Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? monitor and keyboard

    - Motherboard is very low end model, will probably hurt if you're gonna try overclocking
    - Rather take 650W Corsair TXV2 PSU than 800W noname wonder, and not Corsair CX either
    - BluRay reader is totally useless unless you plan to watch movies on the computer

    Also... Computer that expensive really really should have SSD included.
    Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
    Trolling should be.

    I am kinda against ibuypower not because of their service, but because they force you to get a power supply that is unnecessary

    also i think it would be cheaper to buy a monitor from say newegg rather than from them, unless the labor day sale makes it cheaper
