Okay im thinking of making my own computer (Building it with parts from the internet or w.e)
I am wondering what type of graphics card I should go for? the main games I play are Wow and Starcraft 2 so i need somthing that can handle the higher settings W.o rebooting, like my one does now.

Any idea's

Thx in advance

typoHi welcome to the forum,
If you go to the gaming section of the forum, , graphic cards are mentioned particularly in the thread Gaming Rigs, some 3 days ago.
Then come back, if still needing guidance.
There are also some good links on building your own rig.

Hi,

You will have done research, right? If you have not visited these links below, please do so.
As you will see when you visit, one specialises in building rigs with different components, testing them and reporting on their worthiness or otherwise. (independent evaluation)
Not only of the rigs themselves,but also of the individual components.

The other gives in-depth explanation into the individual components and what they consider good value for money e.g. ram.etc. Very informative,

Just make sure the system you are building can handle the graphics card.
All parts must be in a marriage with each other to have a great system.
So do your homework, ask around if there are questions, and don't rush just to get a system built.
Pretend you are an artists and this will be your masterpiece.
