I'll try to keep this as short as I can and will answer any questions you might have.
Bought my first gaming PC two years ago. It was good enough until I received Watchdogs. My CPU and RAM can't handle it and seeing as my CPU is a nugget of crap, I thought I'd attempt my first build.
I understand that a lot of models are only slightly better than their predecessor and those models may seem like a waste of money to some. But the current PC I have is so behind, pretty much anything will be significantly better.
My budget is around $1,500 but I don't want something that's going to eat my power bill.
Current Specs:
Case - Thermaltake v4 Black Edition
CPU - Intel Pentium G840 @ 2.80GHz
Motherboard - ASUS P8H61
RAM - 2x2GB G.Skill Ripjaws
Hard Drive - 500GB Seagate Barracuda
I have no idea what Graphics Card I have
What I'm considering for new build:
Case - CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced
CPU - Intel Core i5 4460
Motherboard - MSI Z97 G45
RAM - Corsair 2x4GB DDR3
Hard Drive - WD Black 2TB
Graphics Card - ??
