when you game, do you only use one of the monitors?

Only one, I pull up the one on the left which is a 2560x1440p monitor.

The first step is to admit you have a problem.

Here is what it should be looking like,

After seeing a friend play Skyrim on the PC I seriously thinking about leaving the console game. How much would it cost to build my own PC specifically for gaming? Also is it hard to build one? I never done anything like this but I was always interested in building my own PC. The problem has always been money but now I have the money to use to try and build one myself.

this is me putting my computer together

I also added picture of my monitors. I plan on upgrading a lot when Titanfall comes out

Some BenQ monitors (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_4?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=benq xl2420t&sprefix=BenQ,aps,303)... Maybe 2 870gtx (depending on price and dates available), more ram (I only got 8 GB right now, shoulda bought 32 when it was cheaper)

Maybe ill rewire it then, especially if ill need a new PSU (I have 750W right now, but with a i7-3770k and 2x 870GTX that might be pushing it, ill have to see)

Things im upgrading in the next few weeks:
New headset (I need it, this head set was $110 and lasted me awhile but now its fukking up.. thinking about going with one of those Astro head sets but I dont know much about headsets, so if osmeone could break down the real difference of the Astro A40 and Astro A50 for me thatd be great)

New Mechanical keyboard (http://www.razerzone.com/store/razer-blackwidow-tournament-edition possibly)

and maybe new mouse.. I keep getting razor mouses but either they fukk up, or the one i got right now I accidently hit the numbers on the side (12 buttons on the side, shyt was cool for Diablo 3 but accidently switching guns on Battlefield 4 aint cool at all :sadcam: )

Everything depends on how much you want to spend and how much you want to future proof your computer... You might be able to play Skyrim right now on max settings with a less expensive computer, but keep in mind theirs a new Skyrim game (a MMO, which is way more computer intense) coming out soon and a computer that might play Skyim right now on max settings might not play the new skyrim mmo on max settings.

Well in that case I would like to build something that allows me flexibility to improve performance so it can play better games in the future. I have a decent amount of money now to get parts and I will have more next month.

Go here:

reddit.com/r/buildapc

Ask any question you want and someone will answer it. They can help you pick parts and build one.

As far as price goes, it depends on what you already have. Will you need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, Operating System? Things like that matter.


Mess around with picking parts here:
