Hi all,
I have been playing games on my modest laptop for a long time now with reduced settings whenever required, but with new games like battlefield 3,
mass effect 3 etc. coming up, that are very graphic intensive, i cant run them
even on all settings turned to minimum
. So i have decided to buy a new gaming pc.
I am addicted to counter strike 1.6 and so the new pc should be able to run it on maximum resolution without any compromise. I know most of you will say that to play cs 1.6 no high-end or even mid-end pc is required but those who play it a lot will know that it is required. Anyways i also want to play other latest games like bf3, mass effect 3, and other upcoming games although that need not be in highest settings although the higher the better obviously .
I already have gaming mouse and mouse-pad and keyboard and speakers so please dont include them in the total cost (to be within budget).
I have never configured a pc before this, let alone assembled one before, so
please bear with me if i ask small obvious things repeatedly .
Thanx
