Greetings!
My predicament is that I would like to get back into pc Gaming but need to balance performance, cost and upgradability. While I could most likely build a system that would meet my needs and remain affordable, I do not believe I have the technical expertise to create a system that will be easily (or capable) of upgrades in the future.
I have no great personal need for an i7 processor, as from what I have read (Please correct me if I am mistaken) the i5 will suit my needs for now. I should be able to upgrade in the future when games become more demanding, or the technology is more affordable correct?
Summary of My Needs
I need a system that will meet my performance needs. I would like it to be able to run Next Gen games (Currently on the market and in the near future) on max settings or close to it. Games including Battlefield 4, Watchdogs (I think it is on PC) and other such marvels of graphic delight.
I need a system that will allow me to upgrade as time goes on, allowing me to remain in the upper tiers of performance.
I need a system that will not tear me a new one (Something under $1500.00, preferably under $1000.00).
Conclusion
Overall, I want to be able to get back into PC Gaming now, and am willing to invest more down the road to remain in the max/ultra settings realm. I do not care or need bells, whistles, lights, shiny doodads or other such fiddle faddle (Unless it is free
)
I have enough technical that I feel I could uncomfortably but successfully build my own system if that is indeed the best route. The cheaper, the better. For now.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
