Bay 12 Games Forum

Sorry, I'm rather tired >.<

I'm looking for something under $1300. Since I will be living in a dorm, noise is something of a concern, as I'd rather not keep my roommate awake with a fan that sounds like a Saturn V. I'm into FPSs and RTSs, so it will need to play high end games like Crysis and Supreme Commander. Heat shouldn't be much of an issue as long as I can find proper ventilation in the dorm room. It's a decent sized dorm.

I'm ordering a new gaming computer on Wednesday, but I'm not quite sure what to get! If you would, I could really use some advice on where to find deals (Note: there are no physical computer stores in my area), and what to look for.

So far, the best I've found is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227068 . I've heard that Intel is generally better than AMD, but can't find one at the same price with a 9800 GTX graphics card. I've also heard that the price is a bit high. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated ^^.
