Okay, I've never built a PC before and Next Gen consoles didn't impress me at all. I was at my friends house playing Killzone and Call of Duty and they didn't look that great and I'm sick of console gaming in general.
I have a job so money isn't that much of an issue but I'd prefer to keep it near $800, I could go to the $900 range if it helps performance considerably though. For the present I would like to be able to play a moderately modded skyrim until new stuff comes out.
I have no clue as to what parts are comparable with what which is pretty much the main issue. My monitor/TV is only 20 inches which I'm fine with and I don't really care about playing above normal resolution, I do want the highest graphics possible though.
I also want a decent sized PSU to save me having to buy a new one in the future, maybe a 650 watt one, I don't plan on doing SLI due to electrical bills, a disc drive is also mandatory as are a couple USB ports for my keyboard and mouse, I don't care about aesthetics of the case either.
Basically I just want something that can run at least 20% faster than the next gen consoles so it can be competitive for the next 3 years or so until I get a new GPU.
Also... one quick question. I read that AMD processors have more cores than Intels so wouldn't that be preferable to Intel's offerings seeing as the consoles have 8 cores as well?
Anyways yeah, I'm kinda clueless about all of this and would appreciate any help.
