Help Guy build his new computer

[Guynemer]

Bah, my current monitor is fine, I can't imagine things look that much different compared to 1900x1200 or whatever the hell it is.

Besides, beefing up the resolution that much would put more stress of the GPU, no?

[Sava]

Yes. But it's worth it. You'll forget pixels are a thing.

reply to my question nerds

I have a 3570K. It's awesome.

If it's only 10 Euro more, go with the 4xxx. What is your budget?

Sorry, I can't remember what series motherboard is required. I hate to sound like a spambot, but go to pcpartpicker.com

They simply the process immensely

[ColdWizard]

also, buy that 30 inch Dell monitor so you can rock in 2560x1600

your wife is a famous author, you can ask her for the money

Fixed.

[Bereta_Eder]

Thanks I actually don't have a limit on budget these days. (save every little penny etc)
Just wondering. I'm not going to do an upgrade just yet.
I prefer going with the SO on holidays.
But I think I can manage to fix myself a PC.
I'm set on i5. Wasn't sure about the 3xxx or 4xxx line.
Will get an SSD for sure as well.

[Sava]

I'd go with the 4xxx

[Guynemer]

What's the big advantage? On the Tom's Hardware hierarchy chart, they are on the same tier.

[Sava]

the number is bigger
4xxx > 3xxx

[Guynemer]

Thanks.

[Sava]

anytime

just update on the computer when its done

[Main_Brain]

When was the last Time anyone of you actually burned a CD? I can't remember myself :/
It all went USB.

SSD + hard drive makes a ton of sense. SSDs are expensive but fast, hard drives are slow but cheap.

[Nikolai]

You really need an SSD. It makes OS/PC lightning fast compared to HDD only, and you can install programs/games that require a lot of the computer on it to speed stuff up and let the rest be on a HDD.

Really, you will feel the difference.

[DaShi]

I'd imagine you could get a laptop with similar specs for around the same price.

Also, as a rich doctor, you could splurge a little, maybe?
