So i'm in need of a desktop that allows me to game, stream, program and allows me to play around with virtual machines.
Now i have been looking around and i'm wondering about a few things
AMD vs Intel -> should i gear towards amd or should i go with intel?
If i go for intel should i go for an i5 or an i7? I think i7 would be better for my needs but i'm not entirely sure.
SSD or no SSD? This i'm really not to sure of. I can always get an SSD later.
Besides that this will be the first time i'm getting a custom pc so all help is more than welcome.
I'd like to have a "basic" setup to start with, with your recommendations as to what i could improve in... about 6 months
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: 10 september 2013
Budget Range: 1200€ / 1500$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, streaming, programming, virtualization
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (separate funds)
Parts to Upgrade: everything
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: alternate.be, it's the only one i know that offers you to build your own pc on the website itself...
Location: Province: Antwerp, Belgium
Parts Preferences: no preferences, best price/performance ratio is important
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: Don't have a monitor at the moment but it needs to be a relatively small one, like a 22 inch one.
Additional Comments: I'll be playing league of legends, diablo 3, crysis 1-3, dead space 1-3, Fifa, Skyrim and many others, so i'll need it to be able to do high end games for the coming ~3 years. I'd like for it to not be too loud.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My laptop can't handle my needs.
