Need Complete Guide for Building a 3D Compatible Machine

Hi All ,

Its almost after 4 years i am going to build a desktop(using a notebook for these years) and this 3d tech has motivated me to do so.

Kindly advise on what specs to aim for , i have already narrowed down the lcd/led monitor i.e samsung 2233 rz 22 inch. Kindly advise how to get hold of nvidia vision kit , which processor to get (powerfull enough so that no rendering issues while 3d gaming , movies etc) , which motherboard to get , ram , casing , sound system etc.

I think nvidia gtx 680 release is arond the corner should i wait for that or it would be overpriced for its value initially.All in All complete guide requested to build a machine and please sharee any experiences if their are. Thanks

Before mentioning anything, you do realize that you need a really heavy budget for all that. So, how much are you willing to spend?

in max 40k its hard to get a core i3 laptop having 15" screen
there is one available on galaxy but it has 13" screen+no optical drive
you need atleast 45 to 46k to get a core i3 with 15" screen

Now would experienced members provide some valuable input to my question?
You quoted yourself, next time quote me. Take a look at these threads and contact these members. You can ask the guy how he ordered the 3D vision kit and this 3D monitor is pretty much the best that you can find in Pakistan:

http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f139/[unboxing]-3d-vision-glasses-x2-123879/

For the rest of your specs, you can get these:

1) i7 2600K (processor)
2) ASRock Z68 Extreme3 GEN3 (motherboard)
3) G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB 1600Mhz (rams)
4) HAF-912, 932, 942, Shinobi (PC-Case)
5) 700W Xigmatek (Power Supply)
6) GTX-580 graphic card (waiting for the 680 would take sometime for it to reach Pakistan, make your mind on this, its your choice).
7) 500GB-1TB HDD's you can get from 7.5-12K

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
