All righty, lets get started...
Some background info about me and what I plan to do with this build. I was about to get a Ps4 but then there are all these reviews about how the Ps4 is similar to a Mid-range Gaming pc. After doing some research, the only feature that I really liked about the ps4 was the fact that it would allow "Remote Play" with the ps vita, which is a killer feature for me since i'm getting tired of gaming on a iphone 5. So I plan to get the Nvidia shield to get this feature along with my Pc.
Gaming on the PC would be like Bf4, not to keen on maxing out the settings but would be nice to do on a game like crisis 3.
Must haves:
will get a multi monitor in the future (3 max) but most likely will be on the living room tv right next to my xbox 360.
In order to use my Nvidia shield, these requirements must be met as well
http://shield.nvidia.com/faq
"GPU: GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU (Notebook GPUs are not supported at this time)
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 3.1GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz or higher
System Memory: 4GB or higher
OS: Windows 8 or Windows 7"
An SSD for my OS to be stored on. (Faster boot time)
1tb of hard drive. (Store all media, games)
Will be hooking a gaming headset (tritton ax pro)
Approximate Purchase Date: (e.g.: The end of Feb (maybe delay with parts on sale))
Budget Range: Base Cost ($400 Ps4 + 200 Ps Vita)
Gaming Pc Build ($500-$800) Trying to stay Close to the $600 price range to console if possible.. willing to go a bit over if the performance out-weighs the cost overall..
System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: gaming, surfing the internet, listening to music)
Parts Not Required: (since its a full build, i am going to need a keyboard and mouse, as well as a monitor... but that I can decide for myself)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, or where ever you recommend)
Country: (e.g.: trying to stay away from "made in china" parts if possible.. i kinda prefer stuff made in japan due to their quality)
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: like intel although amd might be better bang for buck.. reliability is important to me, and hear its worth the money)
Overclocking: Yes (Not on daily basis, maybe on very demanding gamings or multi-tasking)
SLI or Crossfire: unsure
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Bling is nice but nothing overkill, I would like a quiet PC would be nice.. dont want a hair dryer when my play BF4)
