Default help build new rig
Ok I need some help. I'm good at putting computers together but am horrible at choosing parts and if they are compatible or not. Anyways I was looking for you guys to pick parts for me.
Parts I DON'T NEED are
Mouse/Keyboard
Sound card
OS
I can choose my own case
Don't think I need another quad core because I have one in my current rig and I hear that they arnt good for gaming and gaming is what I will be doing.

If you look at my Rig now I basically just want parts that will upgrade every part I have now.
I don't have a price limit or anything but nothing in the $1000+ range.
Thanks a lot. Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums. Ive posted this in other areas on this site but got no help.

It would be very helpful if you guys could link parts for me. I know what videocards are good but I dont know ANYTHING about MOBO's, Ram and CPU's.
I just want to upgrade every part I currently have now.

this is a mobo/CPU/PSU/RAM/GPU choices. i hope you like them.

also who told you quad is bad for gaming?? he is so mistaken btw.

anyway it's for 950 shipped with 35$ MIR so you can get your self a good 100-120$ case and you are still on budget.

intel discontinued the Q9300, and the Q9400 costs the SAME as the Q9550, so get the q9550.

well I think I want Nvidia, so what Nvidia Card should I get? How many watt PSU do I need? What Ram? Mobo? and I heard didnt hear that quad cores were bad for gaming I just read it on forums all over the place. So whats the best gaming CPU I can get but not like a $400 one.

q9550 all the way. can clock high and helps out in the games that use all 4 cores like gta4, left4dead, crysis, etc. do you need a monitor? i'll edit with what i come up with.
