Hey everyone!
This is the first time I'll be buying/building my own PC, however I've done my research and know a 'more-than-average' amount to do with PC hardware.
Despite my work getting my head around hardware, I am still struggling to come up with a list of components within/around my price range - I seem to either go way under or way over!
I have a budget of between $1000 and $1200 (Approx £620-£740), with the primary use of this PC as gaming. It would also be used for some VFX/Video editing, but as I mentioned its main use will be for gaming.
I'd love to be able to play some of the latest games at the highest quality possible within my budget, and currently enjoy things like BF3, Crysis 3, Minecraft (The most PC intensive game to date - for sure) and would like to be able to play BF4, the new assassins creed. This list is endless
Just to mix things up a bit further, I do not have a monitor (been using a laptop after my pre-built PC died a year or so ago), and sadly the price for that has to come out of my budget listed above.
Other than that, just a couple of other things:
- I'd love to be using it at 1080p min
- I'm used to Intel/nvidea, but don't care if AMD would work better within my budget.
- If you could give links to products and a total price, that would be great - Otherwise thanks for your help anyway, I can always shop around if you don't have the time!
Anyway, thanks for the help! Any constructive/positive comments are appreciated, so thanks!
