Putting together a new gaming rig/television/portal to the outside world. Advice appreciated ^^
Approximate Purchase Date: ~April 5th (2 weeks)
Budget Range: $1,000 - $1,300 (Looking for an ideal pricepoint in this range after rebates [rebates suck though])
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Primary usage is for computer games (Dark Souls II is next on the list.), movies/streaming, internet
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Best deal
Location: City, State/Region, Country - College Station, Texas
Parts Preferences: None, but I'm guessing that at this price point it will be Intel?
Overclocking: Maybe in the future (if stalling on upgrades)
SLI or Crossfire: Only if this hits a superior price/performance point (unlikely)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920X1200
Additional Comments: No special requirements, I'm just looking for the best possible rig for my money. If there is some sort of recommended hardware on the horizon outside my preferred build date, I could postpone if recommended...
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My most recent PC is getting old, and DS2 is on its way out. It was a budget build back when I put it together so nothing is really worth keeping vs replacing.
