Re: Looking for suggestions on Mobo and Video Card
I think for now I am going to stick with the typical desktop type case. Later on, I may replace it with a media extender of some kind. Budget - $1,000 to $1,500 I suppose. |

We need to discuss what you are wanting a little more.
Generally with a home theater pc one wants something quiet, small and with attractive externals. This can conflict with the gaming aspect. Although WoW shouldn't need major graphics power getting nice performance while maintaining silence, keeping things small, etc. can take careful planning.
So I think we need to get a better sense of whether you are wanting a machine that will be sitting in your living room or whether you are wanting something like a more normal desktop in a typical desktop case. Since you want to play WoW on it(and it is replacing a dead desktop) I'm thinking maybe this will still be sitting at a desk in front of a monitor, rather than a living room with a tv, wireless keyboard etc.
If it will be sitting in a living room you might have a wife who will be very unhappy if it isn't in an attractive small case, isn't silent etc. (i.e. if it looks and acts like a typical desktop computer). This will add to the cost and difficulties.
Then we will need to have some idea of a budget. |
