Hello, Bohr


If you can afford it, then I recommend something with a Gigabyte motherboard (ASUS is recommended, too), a Quad core processer (get at least 4 cores) such as the Intel i5, either at least a GeForce GTX 460 or ATI/AMD HD 5000 series graphics card, minimum of 4GB RAM (more is better but not critical), and extra slots in the case to leave room for expansion in the future as well as being cooler for your system.


"Sky is the limit" would include either ATI Crossfire or NVidia SLI technology which combines two or more graphics cards, liquid cooling, extra empty slots in the case, 6-8 GB of RAM, Gigabyte motherboard, higher than a GeForce GTX 460 or newer than the ATI/AMD 5000 (6000 series), extra separate cooling for the RAM, motherboard, and graphics cards, and factory overclocking (but don't go too high with it.)

Both Intel and AMD CPUs are great, so you can't go wrong with either type. NVIDIA latest cards have the real 3D technology and PhysX technology in at least the OpenGL 4.0 (higher in future update drivers).

On the other hand, I love how ATI/AMD cards render water, which is awesome to see.


I hope that this helps.

Fireskull nailed it...Perfect answer if I do say so myself...And i do lol...Good luck on ur build man. I will be building my I7 Comp Jan 26th...YAY! Finally 4 years in the making.

Is it possibleto get the kind of rig that Fireskull described off-the-shelf, not as a custom build?

S!

This is doable but such companies are hard to find. Most do claim custom build. Off hand, I can't remember which companies do a similar rig off the shelf.

Search and you will find.
