PC That Provides 2 Years of Quality Gaming

The folks over at Tom’s Hardware’s Forums apparently know their stuff , having come up with a configuration that supposedly provides great gaming for the first year, “decent” gaming for the second—working with a $1000 budget. Here what they have so far: Casing: Antec Three Hundred Black Computer Case ($60) Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply ($100) Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro ATX Intel Motherboard ($200) CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor ($289) Memory: Kingston 3GB (3 x 1GB)

240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory ($52) Video Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512-P3-N873-AR Video Card ($135) Hard Disk: Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 3.5″ SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive ($75) Optical Drive: LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 ($25) Take note though! This setup obviously does not include a display or a pair of speakers. There’s nothing wrong with using your current ones though.
