Hello everyone,
I've been shadowing these forums for a while now. I really like the hardware advice you give people and I'm looking for some myself now. I intend to take advantage of some Christmas sales to start my first build. If you guys can give me a build to start out from I can adapt it to sales I see over the season.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next two weeks.
Budget Range: 800-1000 Canadian
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching movies, surfing the internet
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: New Build
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Would prefer to not have to buy parts form a dozen different places. But I'm happy to shop in multiple locations if it'll save me some decent money.
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Parts Preferences: I have no preference between AMD or Intel. A good balance between quality and value is what I'm looking for with other companies.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later if it makes sense versus buying a new card.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080p
Additional Comments: I'm planning to play it mostly on my TV. So being able to get above 1920x1080p is a non issue for the short-midterm. Good multitasking capabilities would be good. Gets used for University school work, email clients etc that I may not be able to close all the time.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Mostly so I can max out or significantly improve performance in games like Empire Total War, Total War Rome II, Starcraft 2. I also want to be able to take advantage of multi-platform game titles that get good deals on Steam/Origin like Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls Skyrim or Assassins Creed and future titles.
Thanks for your help everyone.
