Hey guys I posted a thread for help on building a rig and after looking at them all. I wanted to know how much people would spend on their first build. I want to know just because I'm not sure if I should bump it up higher.
Not more than $1500 but everybody will say a different number and it depends what you want to do with the system.
My budget is $1,000 and this is just for the computer. I have the Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse, and Speakers. Just not sure if I should bump it up more and if it is worth the money. I would mainly use it for Gaming/Streaming.
I spend about 1700$ on my build in 2008/9... now when I upgrade... I spend about 300-400$ every 3-4 years for a GPU, and 5-6 years about 500-800$ on MB, CPU, RAM... Its due time to upgrade both.. since 8-Cores, 16Gb, and newer quad SLI MB, GTX 760x2/3, GTX 770x2, or GTX 780/TI are getting cheaper.. also need to upgrade HHD's to bigger RAID.. and bigger data drives..
