**This is for a buddy of mine whom is moving from console (xbox one) to PC. He's looking for a gaming build under $900 (the lower the better -- however, he would like to see a dramatic difference in this versus console)
**He is bringing over his HDD, OS, optical drive, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, so those are NOT needed to and the budget applies for the tower and other missing components.
**Would like to max out Skyrim (and max out or almost max out BF, TESO, and be relevant for and capable of beasting out demanding games)
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP!!
Budget Range: Under $900 (the lower the better -- he would be content spending well under that IF and only IF he was still getting a beast of a machine)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming > everything else
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, GPU, PSU, MOBO, Memory, heatsink fan, Case
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon, whatever has the best deals!
Location: Rochester, NY
Parts Preferences: No preference really -- looking for quality, not overpriced, compatible products
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Not now, maybe down the road.
**Any help is greatly appreciated!!
