Hi all,
Just trying to gather some opinions on a new gaming PC to primarily play WoW, Skyrim, and Elder Scrolls Online with when it comes out. Thanks in advance for all of your help!
Approximate Purchase Date: The next few months (May end up purchasing components on a week by week basis depending on cash flow. Bonuses at work get paid in February, so may end up getting it all at once, depending on bonus)
Budget Range: $1,000 - $1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Primarily a gaming rig, Skyrim, WoW, Elder Scrolls online. Was thinking of getting a PS4, but decided PC gaming is where I would rather be. Would love the system to be upgradable in the future.
Are you buying a monitor: Don't need one right now, but may buy one in the future. Was also wondering if I couldn't hook it up to my 52'' HDMI TV, whether it would look ok or not.
Parts to Upgrade: Need basic system parts. I can grab the keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, etc. on my own.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, Amazon.com
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Charlotte metro area, North Carolina
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: Really no idea whether to or not
SLI or Crossfire: Same answer as Overclocking above
Your Monitor Resolution: Not too sure. Really depends on whether I can hook it up to my TV (if that's an option) or whether I should get a new monitor. I already have a widescreen Dell monitor that I can use.
Additional Comments: Kinda rediculous I know, but I like the looks of the cases that you can see into, that have colors, preferably red. Not a deal breaker in the slightest, and really just tossing that out there.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Was pondering grabbing a new PS4 for gaming, but I used to play WoW and really like the Mod capabilities of Skyrim on PC. So instead of dropping $500 on a PS4 and still wanting to play PC games, thought I would try and build my first gaming rig instead. Thanks again for any and all advice!
