Problem solved. It's time for me to build my inexpensive battle rig!

[Zeiss]

I want a computer that doesn't need to run team fortress in DX8 mode, and I guess I'm building it if that makes it less costly. Also I have no idea about building a PC, but I can order parts from a nearby workplace that isn't Officemax.

I have some knowledge about performance of Nvidia graphics cards, and hopefully a 600 series and cheap can fit in the same sentence.

Also jump for the 3D vision if it'll fit into the budget that I need to come up with

600 series is not cheap. There, I did it.

He totally needs a i7-3930K Sandy Bridge Hex-Core and Dual GTX 690s

 

[ViperStriker]

Being serious though, the GeForce GTX 600 Series is not cheap at all. Just a GTX 550 TI is around $100-$150

If it's for gaming, go budget on everything and put all your money into a GTX 690.

A friend of mine has a 680 limitied edition (3GB)...

I got my 560 for like $140.

I saw ASUS brand ones for cheap, but EVGA is top of the line, but overpriced as all hell.

I got 1 EVGA and 1 Galaxy. The galaxy one was around $160. The EVGA was $140.

Never buy a gaming laptop, only if you really MUST. It just isn't worth it.

I disagree with all the talk about the GPU. I updated my rig because of BF3 and the CPU usage. If you get a nice card but don't have a decent CPU its all for naught. TF2 is not a killer with a GPU.

If you from the US go to www.newegg.com and buy the rig in my sig. That will get you playing on high settings and leave you room to upgrade down the road.

 

[RisenDemon]

To give you an idea, this rig let's me play TF2 at it's highest settings without lag.

Well I gotta go to work!

660 is coming out soon, should drop prices a little bit. AMD is good for budget as well.

 

[ViperStriker]

Well I'm guessing Zombie went ahead and ordered that Gaming Laptop off of Amazon already, so this thread is all good. GTX 675M is really nice for a laptop, so congrats.

Laptop... For $1,8k....

Fix your internet first.

I'm going to build a rig when my custom laptop can't run new games anymore.
