Hi everyone!
I've been using a laptop for my gaming purposes for a while now but it is about time for an upgrade. I really want to build my own desktop but as it's my first time doing this I have no idea what parts would be best for me. So, here are my details:
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the month. (I might not buy all the parts at once as some of them are going to be gifts.)
Budget Range: $1000 Before Rebates; Before Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Won't be using it for much else)
I have a TV that I will use as my monitor.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Windows 7 pref.)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever is the cheapest. (Too far from an actual microcenter though.)
Location: Tampa, Fl, USA
Parts Preferences: Whatever I can get really (Although I've heard better things about intel and nvidia)
Overclocking: Maybe (Don't want to do it right away as like I said I am new to pc building)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (Might get a second card once my performance starts decreasing)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (I think, tv box just says 1080)
Additional Comments: I will also need a keyboard and mouse. Will be using my headphones so I don't need speakers.
Games I will be playing include Planetside 2, Battlefield 4, Skyrim with mods, and FFXIV. Will I be able to run these games at max or high with a decent framerate?
(Also if I could get a case with a window and lights that would be nice but if it takes too much money then don't worry about it.)
