Lately I've been getting more into learning about hardware because I have a job now and I want to finally get a gaming computer so
Questions start I guess.
I'm looking at a $1000ish price range, but I'm willing to go a bit higher if needed.
Basically I just want to be able to play anything out already while working in photoshop ect.
I don't really care for these 2 video card ideas because they seem like a waste of money for what I'm looking for.
I hear these i7 cpus are good however I see lists of i7 cpus and I kinda start getting nervous. Using crysis 3 as an example, I read high end needs a 3.5ghz intel processor, so does that mean I need some sort of quad core intel processor with 3.5+?
Video cards scare me as well because I read the cpu and video card are the meat and potatoes of the computer. What video card would I look into?
When it comes to ram, I'm sure 8 gigs will be more than enough seeing all the games I've seen only run 4 at most and I tend to leave photoshop on for quick access and I'd like to browse the net if need be, but would I need a special ram to work with the mother board?
Thats another thing too, MotherBoard. That frightens me as well because I don't understand what is considered a good mother board. Any recommendations to point me in the right way?
I don't know much about power supplies either. I just don't want to trip the breaker because of my computer or if thats possible.
Also, sound card/network cards. I'm sure I'd need those if I wanted to hear something and get on the internet. Whats considered good with those?
I don't need a monitor or keyboard ect so that's cool.
If someone can bare with me maybe y'all can help me understand this more so I can build my own computer.
Serious thanks beforehand this whole subject scares me since I'm a tight wad with money, but I've always wanted a good gaming computer to play all the nice games like frycry/tera/bioshock/guildwars ect.
