Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I want to build a gaming PC.

My budget is ~1,000$ give or take 100$

Highest end gaming to max out Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and Modern warfare 3 and all older games excluding the Crysis games.

Resolution would be 1920x1080

I am told the Intel i5 2500K is the best processor for what I want.

Also told the GeForce GTX 580 Video Card or the GeForce GTX 580 Ti Video Card

I don't know the difference.


I prefer 2x4GB sticks of DDR3 in a Dual Channel Motherboard

I need someone that will stick by me in some type of IM service and answer all my questions and recommend build choices and variations.

Anyone here up for it?

Thank You

That's a couple 100$ more than if I were to select those parts and build it myself.

The 580 is way too expensive, you should get a crossfire 6950(2 x 6950), it's better then the 580 and 100 bucks cheaper.
