Wow.. Welcome to the club, buy Guild Wars 2, and join Cloudd, SausageNinja and Myself on the server

Its frikkin awesome!

Also about costs what are you thinking about spending?

Unlimited costs is too easy, but if you say 1k or 2k maybe I will be able to look at things or perhaps get something build with the soec for the money

I was just looking at some computers at a norwegian website with my mom that have absolutely no idea about this. My dad works with computers, so he might know something, but not much about gaming specs.
The prizes on those computers were only at 11.000 NOK (£1.200, $1.900), but I am willing to get something even better. And I also have about 50.000 NOK (£5.400, $8.660) to add if the prize is getting too high for a present from my parents and brother

It will be cool to finally play more with you guys too

I might need something to record with too

There are various programs to record game while you are playing on the PC, the most used one is F.R.A.P.S.

Get an Intel i7 Sandy Bridge 2.8Ghz or better.

Get a 2GB Nvidia or 2GB AMD video card or better.

That's about all you need for gaming.

My specs currently:

Processor: Intel Core-i7 860 2.8Ghz (3.3Ghz currently)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper-212 Evo
RAM: 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600
Video Card: XFX Radeon 6970 2GB (AMD Card)
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D Pro
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout
Monitors: 3x Acer 22" 1680x1050
Keyboard: Razer Black Widow Ultimate
Mouse: Razer Deathadder

Hope I'm not forgetting anything lol.

Ok, I've got some help with a friend to put together a great computer…

Cabinet: Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced
Processor: AMD FX-8150 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0, Socket-AM3+
CPU cooler: Corsair H40 Hydro Series CPU Cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9
Video card: Gainward GeForce GTX 660Ti 2GB PhysX
Hard drive SSD: Crucial m4 SSD 2.5" 128GB
Hard drive: Western Digital Desktop Green 1TB
Keyboard: Microsoft OEM Wired Desktop 400
Mouse: Razer Deathadder Respawn
Monitor: BenQ 24" LCD G2450HM 1920x1080
Headset: SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-size Headset

With some other stuff, like speakers, OS, wireless network and Portal 2 (for free), this ends on 13.683 NOK (£1.484,50 ,$2.377,75). I might get it a little bit cheaper though

Weird choice with Monitor and Keyboard but apart from that everything looks awesome, You'll have to let me know if that AMD Proc is any good, there is a cycle in whats that best, I7's have been the best for a while, but it often swiches between Intel and AMD who have the better stuff

Have you got everything up and running?

Countach92

The keyboard and monitor was just the default

It's all ordered now. But 1 thing was not in stock. When that is in it'll take about 5 days until I get it

Bronco

Hate to tell you after you ordered it but the quad core i7's are faster than the 8-core AMDs…

Hope you like it!

Actually I couldn't choose from Intel. But I'll see how it is when I get it

I think I'll have it next week sometime
