First of all this will be my first PC i am looking to actually build myself. I am using quite an old PC currently (think i bought it 6 or 7 years ago and have only replaced the GPU (Now: AMD Radeon HD 6870) and PSU(Now: cant recall). In the past year ive noticed the PC under performing on multiple fronts. Games are losing FPS, programs are not responding and just general lag fests while switching between programs at times. So I've decided to start saving for a new PC but am not sure what to get.
I am mainly looking for a cost effective, fast running, relatively future proof, high/ultra graphics quality PC for my games and programs. At any one time i have 1 game, Skype and Google Chrome open.
I am looking for a few specific things:
- Dual Screen Capability (Single GPU Please. (Each screen is 1920x1080 if this is needed info)
- Ability to play games like League of Legends, WoW, etc. on 60+ FPS without FPS drops
- 8GB Minimum Ram
- 1x SSD
- 1x 1tb or higher HDD (currently only have 297gb)
- Windows 8 or 8.1
- Good looking case(colour is fine, but no pink or purple)
- Good Cooling throughout the system (do not want liquid cooling if i have to refill)
- Optical Drive so i can install disk games if necessary
(Note: I do not know how to overclock so things must run well on standard)
I would like to spend $1500-$1700 AUD but am willing to spend up to $2000 AUD
Price includes everything in the tower as i have all the peripherals including screens already.
Any info/suggestions are welcome since this will be my first PC building venture and i dont know alot about the insides of PC's but have been watching/looking up alot of info.
