I am looking to buying a new pc (Desktop) but I believe it will be more cost efficient to buy parts and put it together myself, however it seems like it's a daunting task at first. Is there any guides out there that can help? When people say "new build" do they mean they will build it themselves or have it custom built for them?
I am looking to spend about $600~$850 for a new gaming pc. I'm looking for a middle of the road type pc, one that will play some new games at least medium settings if not higher. I will need a new monitor as well, willing to spend a little more for a decent monitor.
I'll be playing Valve based games, as well as some mmorpg's and other first person shooters.
I'd also like to use it to watch movies, and maybe use programs like adobe Photoshop, Flash, drawing programs, and also the usual browsing the net / playing some browser games.
I'd like to know how many cores the cpu will have and what type of cpu it will be, the motherboard, the type of gpu with cooling, the power supply, the ram /w cooling, weather I should have a SSD or a regular hard drive. I need a lot of storage space at least 1 terabyte, so i think a regular hard drive would be better. I'm used to having 2 drives one as my OS (C:\) the other as my DATA drive (D:\), the drive where all my music games and everything else goes.
I need to be able to dual boot to Linux if I ever want to and I need a restore cd for windows 7/8.
This is to replace my 8 year old desktop pc.
If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
