I hate bothering people but I'm in need of help! I've been out of the computer building world for a long time. My laptop was stolen last week however, and I need to put a new desktop together to replace it as soon as I can (mobility issues are solved with my tablet).
I'm looking to spend no more than $600 after rebates on a rig that will let me play games (BF4 looks like the most intensive game in the forseeable future) at the best graphics possible in my budget. Aside from gaming, the computer will be used for basic tasks. Most importantly I need it all to fit in the mATX case I have below.
What I've got selected so far is based on my research the last few days, but I'm feeling the effects of analysis by paralysis, so any and all input is appreciated. AMD or Intel, just looking to get the most that I can for my $600. If you think there's a part or combination that will work better, by all means, let me know!
The quieter the system the better, but I'm looking to get a real good base of parts that I can upgrade later should I feel like it's underperforming my needs. The case is the only part that I have so far, but it can be returned if you can suggest a smaller case without sacrificing overall performance.
