I am hoping to become a pc gamer, however I know little to nothing about computers.
This is the build I found that I'm going to build (1000$ budget and I'm going with the Intel PC Gaming Build)
http://www.gamingpcbuilds.com/build-a-custom-gaming-pc-1000/
Well to me 1000$ is a bit much for a computer, so as everyone I want bang for my buck. I was looking at the GPU and well I'm wanting to switch out the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti for
Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 I don't know if the parts will still fit, or if this is even a good idea. (also It dose not have the OS on the build page, but I will be using windows 7)
The game I'm really wanting to be able to play with it is just Dayz / BF3 and such on med settings.

The article is already out of date, and the author is not very skilled at choosing parts cost effectively.
No, you do NOT under any circumstances swap out a January 2011 GTX 560 ti card which is already old and power hungry at 170 watts, for an even less power efficient 2008 card GTX 260 182 watts based on DX 10 going from G3D 3475 to 1122.
You decide on your total spend and work around that.

should i buy a netbook or a laptop?
dannyphant
my parents just bought a new HP desktop for me over the summer
its great runs 5gb Ram, 600 gb hard drive and im the only one who
uses it, but i need something portable to take to class
i dont have alot of money which is why im leaning towards netbooks
i dont play pc games ever, i have an xbox360 and love it
and i plan on buying a mac next year for school anyway
so whatever thing i choose ill be using probably till about
january 2011
so from all of that, in your opinion what would be best for me?
Answer
A Netbook, easy to carry around easy to use in class. Enough to type exam papers, type in quick notes. You don't want to bring a big laptop to class lol. Looks kinda funny.
Since you already got an amazing computer at home use that one for movies, gaming ect ! =D
