Hiya all,
Finally got off the trucking gig, and now I get to be home every night. So yay to that!
As a reward I was able to gather about 1grand for a new rig, and I'm woefully short in knowledge on computers.
What I'm hoping for is someone to say I did ok for my thousand bucks. Now bare in mind, I cannot build my own rig, for one I haven't the time, as well as not knowing jack about building one. I went to cyberpower and Ibuypower during the cyber monday sales events and tinkered around for hours trying to piece one together that would play wow the way I want to see wow.
I used tomshardware, and whatever review I could find to help narrow down components and maximize my money.
So without further ado this is what I got:
