Approximate purchase date: ASAP
budget range: ~$2000
Location: Brisbane, Aus
PC use: Gaming, work
Its my first time building a PC and Im drowning in a sea of reviews and guides..
Iv put together a build that seems like what i want, however I'm not overly sure.
I want something that will run games on high graphics settings with high frames while still being able to have some background programs open. Preferably i want it to age well into the next few years as it may be years before I can upgrade again.
Below is a build iv come up with, while it seems good to me, my knowledge and experience is limited. If you have any ideas on possible/probable problems/shortcomings/betteralternatives/etc please help?!
