Planning to build a coputer in the near future, but I haven't been up-to-date with mid-high end computer components. Looking for suggestions on what I can get my hands on for under a grand. Games I currently play: wc3, cs:1.6/source. Games I plan on buying: Unreal 4, StarCraft 2. I plan to overclock the video card, cpu, and RAM, so please take that into consideration as well.
What to include in the $1000:
Memory (Looking for about 2gigs)
CPU (still can't decide whether to to intel/AMD, it would help if someone could list some pros/cons)
Video Card (samething here, cant decide whether to go ATI/nvidia)
Motherboard (no preference)
What not to include in the $1000, but could still use tips about:
Harddrives (do they make a difference for gaming?)
Soundcards (are they necessary or will onboard sound do the job?)
Should I wait for dx10 cards to drop in price before building a new computer? and about how long will it take before dx10 cards become mid range priced?
Thanks alot, sorry for asking so many questions, I am trying to research the answer to my questsions myself, but I could always use a second opinion =)
