Hey, as you could guess I'm considering building my own gaming PC. The budget I am aiming for is between $1000-$1500, and this does not include monitors, mouse, or keyboard. I am wanting to spend that budget solely on the PC. The PC will be used primarily for gaming, so I desire only 1TB (or even 750GB) of HDD storage, and probably 120 GB SSD for OS/a game or two.
My real struggle is debating on if building my own PC is going to save me any actual money, because while I think it would be fun to build my own I also do not want to spend several months getting parts and risk the issues of having no troubleshooting support if something goes wrong.
My system desires are:
- Very high end graphics card (I want to run maximum settings possible on new games for at least the next few years)
- 16 GB Ram (may as well make it semi-futureproofed imo)
- Dual monitor capabilities
- option to have good streaming/game recording (this one is not near as high a priority as the others)
Any advice/thoughts would be appreciated.
