Finally getting around to building a new computer, My current one was built 10 years ago but got a few upgrades since.
Current Computer:
Asus P4B
Pent4 @2.6ghz
Sapphire Radeon X1600 (AGP 8x running at 4x because of the MB)
1.5GB Kingston SD 133mhz
500GB Western Digital IDE
535W Enermax PSU
Windows XP 32bit
LG 22" 16:9 @ 1920 x 1080
Some no-name case
New Computer:
Asus P6T SE
Intel i7 920
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770
6GB DDR3 OCZ 1333 TC
1TB Western Digital SATA
850W Corsair PSU
Windows 7 64bit
Same Monitor.
Cooler Master 690 II Case
Right now in Dalaran I average 7fps on what I call medium settings, slightly more during off-peak hours. Somehow I've managed to stay sane all this time.
So my question to you is. Does anyone run any of the hardware I'm going to be getting and have/had any problems with it? I've done quite a bit of research and overall there isn't a lot of negative. I play WoW regularly along with a few other games(Half Life 2 and it's relatives) and will want to get into games like Crysis and many more current and future games since the new computer should be able to run them at least close to max settings.
Drop down to the i5-750, which will save you enough money hopefully to up to the 5850, drop the PSU to the 750TX. (And if you have money left over, the Intel 80GB SSD is a nice upgrade)
