My brother is going off to college in the fall and so my parents are buying him his own computer. He has around and ~$800 spending limit for his new computer. I bought a computer a couple years ago and would like to purchase a new one now along with him.
I use my computer mainly for gaming (World of Warcraft) and also for playing lots of online poker games at once. I mainly want my computer to run WoW and streaming software as well as having lots of other applications up, but I want to be able to play new games as well. I would like to spend around $800 as well. Any suggestions?
Here are a list of the components so far:
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80580Q8300
-EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
-A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ADQVE1B16K
-ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
-Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
