Mission: To build the Best Bang For Your Buck (BBFYB) system that can play next-gen games, such as Unreal 3, do video production, music production, office work, as well as everything else... Im using this future computer for everything!
Note: This is a college computer system btw....
Budget: $1000 (preferbly below)
Things I already have (I dont need to buy) - DVD Burner
Things Im waiting on - Better priced next-gen graphics
Must Have List: 64-Bit Dual Core, dirt-cheap pci-express graphics card (Ill use it as fodder and wait for the next gen WGF 2.0 cards, 1 gig RAM, The best bang for your buck performance harddrive (I dont care how small it is), Possibly Gigabit, and finally a pretty good integrated audio solution (ex Azalia)...
Bottom Line: Must be able reach or even beat Windows Vista recommended specs!!
Thanks guys in advance, this is possibly my first PC build... (BTW Do you think I should get it pre-built from sites like iBuypower.com or Dell)?
