Approximate Purchase Date: Hopefully by the end of the month
Budget Range: $800-$1100
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the web, video editing (mainly a gaming pc)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Extra parts to buy: None really (open to cool accessories)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, and I prefer Windows 7.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Mostly Amazon because i get free shipped.
Location: Michigan
Parts Preferences: No major preference
Overclocking: If someone could explain this to me that would be great
SLI or Crossfire: I dont know what these are either.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I am brand new to the pc gaming environment but i have done a lot of research and know most of how to build one from seeing videos. I have heard some terms like overclocking a lot and have a general understand of what they do but i dont know how to do them so if someone could explain that'd be great.
Now getting into the PC, I'd like a stylish case but it doesn't matter too much. I find that a 1 TB HDD or more should be fine. Also I'd like to be able to play Next-Gen games like Battlefield 4 and GTA 5 at high to max settings. Obviously you can't know for sure since they're not out yet but that is my main reason for wanting to switch to PC Gaming.
The games I will mostly be playing on this pc will be: Most of my games are still on xbox so mainly it will be next-gen games like Battlefield 4, GTA 5, Watch Dogs, etc. I'd also really like it if the parts used in this build are somewhat future-proof, so that I won't need to perform major part upgrades within the next couple of years.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: With the bomb dropped by Xbox One, i dont see myself buying the console. My pc now can't really handle anything other that indie games so i am really looking for a big upgrade.
Thanks in advance for the advice and help!
