Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: $1500 (this needs to include a monitor, so I budgeted around 1200 for the pc itself)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing web
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, and I could use a few suggestions.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything....I currently have a laptop, so can't reuse anything
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, still can't decide which one I want
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, but will consider others if you know of really good deals going on
Location: Iowa City, IA
Parts Preferences: Intel and Nvidia
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in a year or so
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080? Been awhile since I've bought one
Additional Comments: I'm planning on using this pc for Battlefield 4 and would like to run it with video settings on high. I don't need anything flashy looking, just want a great running system that will play the current games and the games for the next few years.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: To play BF4, and I'm finally out of college and have money to build a computer again!
Ok, here is what I have currently. I mainly want to know if anything is completely overboard where I could save a bit of money. Or if you think there are any parts that could be better so the system is balanced. This is my first build, so please let me know if there is anything I forgot to order as well. I am still trying to figure all this out. I've been reading a lot, so hopefully this is good. Thanks in advance for the help!!!
