New PC recommendations?

I want to replace my old computer, but I'm not so great on the hardware side of things, so advice would be gratefully received.





I want something that can capably run Win7-64bit, play games like Portal 2, AssCreedBH, Dragon Age II, Fallout:New Vegas, and future releases, all on medium-high video settings. As it would mainly be used for gaming, I need something that could keep up high fps - especially on mmos.





I'm assuming I'd need quad core, but as for ram %26amp; graphics card, I've no idea - please, not top of the range insanely expensive stuff though - affordable, but something a bit better than my TERRIBLE nVidia 7900. :%26lt;





Thanks for reading, I'll be watching this q if you need anymore requirements, thank-you!|||Ideally i need to know what your budget is so i can spec you a build, are you using bits from your old setup or do you need everthing new including monitor etc??.....however i would suggest you vist www.custompc.com, there is a forum section with users on there that are happy to recommend systems based on your budget under the hardware section, both US and UK users although mostly UK, they link usually good reliable places to get full systems from or individual parts if you want to build your own.



Ideally you would want a p67 motherboard, i-2500k or i2700k intel Cpu, something like a GTX 560 or even 580 graphics card and at least 4gb of ram DDR3 1600 mhz if you plan to over clock the CPU...get onto that site i recommended and post in the hardware section link here.



http://forums.bit-tech.net/forumdisplay.鈥?/a> you will see a sticky at the top "build advice threads how to request them" follow that guide as well so it makes it clear what your requirements/budget/bits you are transfering from your old pc are like the monitor etc or do they need to factor in a new moniter etc, you will get the idea.|||I don't know about the rest but, for the graphics card i suggest


you get ATI Radeon HD Series, there's a bunch, so pick one you can afford, the higher the better.|||here's a rundown of video cards ...

GPU: Asus 2GB Radeon HD 6970. Price 拢250 to 拢350





HDD, here I can give a few suggestions... :)


a) You can have only 1 HDD, like a 1TB and install the OS and everything else there.


+ You save money.


- It is to hard to keep and eye to your files and perform format


b) Having 2 HDDs is easy to keep an eye to your files and having faster boot.


so...


a.1) Primary HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATAIII. Price 拢50 to 拢60


Secondery HDD the same.


b.1) Primary HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL 3.5" Caviar Blue WD2500AAKX 320 GB - 7200 rpm - 16 MB - SATA III. Here you instal your OS and perhaps make a back up of your OS. Price 拢40 to 拢50


Secondery HDD: Western Digital Caviar 2TB (7200 RPM) SATA 6GB/s 64MB 3.5" . Price 拢120
