I apologize if this is in the wrong section of the forums (First post) but I would greatly appreciate some help on my current project; I want to build a powerful desktop dedicated to gaming. My currently owned laptop just isn't performing as fast as I wish it could. As a rule of thumb I want to be able to play something like Skyrim or Battlefield 4 on 1080p or higher around 60 frames or higher NEVER below (Also I am a huge Minecraft fan so I would wish to know how well it would run with what I have). I am not on a budget, as I am spending my money nowhere else right now, but I do not wish to spend crazy amounts of money on slightly more beneficial items so try to keep it as cheap as possible without sacrificing any performance. Additional tips and help is also nice.
The build I've looked into (Not confirmed, just what I've looked at so far):
-CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115234
-Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
-RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445
-Graphics Card [ I need help on this! I have seen many good and bad options, can't decide!]
-SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W00YW3571
-HDD [ Can't decide, all have such bad reviews]
-Power supply [ Haven't even looked into yet ]
-Case [ I can decide on this, just waiting to confirm the build before I look into this]
Other notes:
-I am not sure about overclocking, I know some of this build is okay with it but my processor is not. My only fear is having to get water cooling. It's noisy, hard to put in, and expensive.
-Are my parts good and compatible so far?
-What I am doing with my storage is I'm putting important programs and games (along with the OS) on the SSD and the rest of my stuff on a relatively large capacity HDD.
-Thank you guys in advance for your help on my journey to becoming a true PC gamer, I know it's a lot of questions and I'm sorry for that.
