PC pricing help

Post » Tue Feb 19, 2013 4:36 am

So i am looking to build a pc capable of running Skyrim. My budget tops out att about 850 maybe 900 i would like to run Skyrim on high gfx settings( I want to build my pc not pay DELL for outdated gear) i am kind of a pc noob. So i need advice on what video cards ect... would be right for me and your input on the difficulty of putting together a pc by my self. Ohhh i already have a HD Tv that i intend to use as my monitor.

What country? If US, what City/State? [Because if you are near a Microcenter or Fry's Electronics, their in store specials are sometimes better than online. Also, sales tax issues.]

Also, check out youtube for many instructional videos on PC assembly.

Offhand, I think your budget is in the territory of a [i5 3570k, HD 7870 2GB, 7870 XT or GTX 660 Ti & 8GB RAM ...depending on what we can do to shoehorn the remaining necessities. Don't forget the OS will run ~$100 on its own.]
