So here is my soon-to-be final decision,
I wanted a PC that could run any game in the market with max settings, because I want to play, Battlefield 3, Crysis 3 and other future games at Ultra setting, without having any problems.
So I have few questions for you guys,
1- How the sound cards really going to affect the sound, am I going to hear so much difference?
2- What kind of monitors is best for FPS games? That reduces ghosting and slow motions? Is my monitor in the safe side?
3- Some of you might say that i don't need the i7 processor since I will not need it for gaming. And I want to say that I'm not going to use the i7 only for gaming, I'm planning to do some video editing in the future.
4- Should I buy additional Case fan for the Cooler Master HAF?
4- My budget is around 2000$, how do I build a great PC?
Here is the rig that I've just made, what do you think? Should I go for it, or there are some things I must consider?
Thanks in advance.
