What do you guys think?.. I'm not a hardcore gamer nor do I intend to play any games of that matter except for maybe just CS:GO, which will be casually. This build is more so of my music production and just daily browsing/videos etc.
Currently on a DELL Dimension 4500 Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM - bought in 2003 (10 years old holy shit!).
I can't believe this computer has been running fine since then with no problems but I started to get sick of the whole waiting game (btw I used my laptop a lot too which is 10x better than my desktop) haha anyways enough of this, thoughts of my build? I was trying to go for the range of between $650-800 (taxes included etc.)
I think the price is wicked since.. NCIX was quoting me around $892 after taxes for a similar build but with even a shittier graphics card.
I still yet to buy a monitor and depending on what size, most likely get a 24' for $150.
