So I don't have a HD because I already have a 1tb HD at home that I can repurpose.
No DVD drive. I buy everything from steam/online, never really use it anyway.
The computer will have 2 primary uses. Gaming and Video encoding. However I probably do more gaming then anything else. I'm not very rich I only have about $600-700 for the project altogether. I work in IT so I'm comfortable taking computers apart but I have never put one together for myself so this is a bit new to me.
Let's see I'm not interested in overclocking at the time, maybe later. I want to be able to run games 3-4 years from now. The computer I currently have is still running games in min settings and I bought it in 2008.
I prefer Intel over AMD because I don't really mind paying extra for a high quality product.
I've been told that 4th generation Intel maybe better. What are your thoughts?
