So I'll admit to being an absolute idiot when it comes to computer hardware, and all the research in the world doesn't help if you don't understand the language you're reading, so I'm in search of help. Quite a bit of it apparently. XD
1A. Currently building a unit around CyberpowerPCk, taking their Gamer Xtreme 1000 SE and messing with a handful of things for my liking. Its cheaper than what I had been building but overall...I'm not sure if I'm better off buying the parts myself and building a machine or just going through a site like that. Keep in mind, I'm computer/hardware illiterate.
1B. Right now, with that site (if it isn't suggested to do one myself) I'm putting together a unit around a GeForce GTX 560 2GB. The upgrade from 1 GB to 2 was free, but I'm wondering if its worth the extra cash to upgrade it to the Ti. I'm throwing in a 1000w power supply to eventually add in another GFX card so I dunno if its worth biting the bullet now or what.
2. I know absolutely nothing about overclocking and thus dunno if I'll be doing it. With that in mind, I've been told by an IT buddy that I oughta put in a i5-2500 over an i5-2500k. Think I should or not?
3. I'm in search of a monitor! I'm looking to spend something between 170 and -maybe- 220 but I'd prefer to keep it at/under 200 and either 23 or 24 inches. A few I'm looking at at the moment... (Though it seems I can't post links yet so I'll post titles instead...)
ASUS ML239H
SAMSUNG S24A350H
ASUS VW246H
I'm trying to balance quality with availability and I just can't seem to find many places that a reviewer has it and explains it anymore then "ZOMG I WUV DIS THANG!". So any help would be appreciated
