I'm just starting to contemplate my next PC build. I want it to do gaming, but my standards are probably lower than most gamers. I like open world games like Skyrim, Far Cry, GTA, etc. Of course I like to play them with the graphic cranked up, but most of these sorts of games are playable with less intense hardware. Mostly I'm looking for most bang for the buck. That said, I don't need to play games on hi fi audio. I really wouldn't expect to play on resolutions greater than 1920x1440 and would mostly play on 1600x1200. I don't want to overlock nor do I want to leave room to upgrade. Basically I buy a new PC every 5 years or so. I'd want to make sure whatever I build would be at LEAST as good as a ps4 or xbox one. It's hard to say what price range I'd be looking at, but maybe $1500 for the whole system. I wouldn't want to pay much more than $250 for the GPU.
Is this enough information for someone to recommend a mobo/GPU/CPU? I was thinking I would window shop for a month or so watching prices before actually pulling the trigger. Oh, and I expect to used a mid-atx tower, windows os.
I do have significant experience building PCs but I haven't done one for at least 5 years and I don't follow the technical between builds so any advice is appreciated. I'm just trying to get started.
Thanks.
