iBUYPOWER suggestions

[Dr. Doctor (inactive)]

iBUYPOWER looks like an incredible website. I just wanted some reccomendations from the gaming community. I want to build a desktop from there, but I want a good configuration that can also save me some greenbacks. What do you guys think good configs would be that can run games like CoD at high settings?

Shamelessly taken with my crappy phone.

The hutch (arch, shelf, whatever you call it) on top of my desk can be removed, but I have no where else to put it and it takes a while to move it.

The monitor sitting on my desk is 20 inches and my budget is ~$1000.

So, what do you think, eGO?

Hmm at least a 460 an i5 2500k quad core. 4 gbs of ram, 700w power supply.
Btw you didn't list what you needed monitor etc and your budget haha

You wont need high specs to run a COD game at high lol

run games like CoD

Well there's your problem.

You have the same laptop I have lol. I can play COD4, but it gets quickly a bit choppy every now and then.

Since my cell's a peice of crap, it didn't color everything correctly, so I don't entirely see what you're talking about.

That monitor there is 20 inches. That barely fits with the hutch on top of my desk.

I was trying to think of games and CoD was the first that came to me (with MW3 coming out soon).

whats your budget though?

Its in the OP.

I'd build it from newegg, you would get more bang for your buck most likely.

Theres what I would build, but you should probably post in the tech discussion and have some more experienced tech people help you out

GTS 450 and a phenom X4 should slaughter COD.
I would contact phobus in the teh help forums for a build, he has a thread already made for the purpose. His builds will run COD at max with excellent FPS.

Take off the hutch. Get a 24" widescreen and be happy.
