I am investing in a decent $800 gaming computer/PC and I and a complete computer noob. I pretty much know how to build and setup a computer, but I don't know about the parts very well. Could by any chance you make one for me?
Here is what I want:
Intel Core, I don't like AMD that much.
Good hard drive and SSD, at least 1TB HDD.
8 Gigabytes of RAM
Windows 8.1-64 bit, but I have a friend that works at Microsoft so I might be able to get a discount from him. Don't include the OS in the list.
Pretty good Video card, I will be gaming and recording with fraps or something
Good motherboard, 6 USB outputs, HDMI, and hopefully VGA if you can.
The only part of the computer I can probably use is my mouse. My monitor is a old one, 1680*1050 resolution but it uses VGA. If you can get a video card with an adapter included or a VGA output on the video card, it would be great. Or else I need to buy a monitor. My keyboard currently is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, so I don't think I can use it for the first start up, so I will have to get a keyboard too.
And yeah, I'll need an optical drive too.
I'm not sure what overclocking is, but I won't probably be doing it.
What is SLI or Crossfire?
I need everything but a mouse. I have some blueprints on what parts, but they don't fit my budget really because they forgot some parts that I needed.
I will also need wifi, because my router is across the house and an ethernet cable is out of the question.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week or next week
Budget Range: $800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet
Are you buying a monitor: Yes if the video card does not have a VGA output or it doesn't come with an adapter. Otherwise, no.
Parts to Upgrade: I don't have any parts.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but I will buy that separately.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't Know
Location: San Jose, California, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking:no
SLI or Crossfire: What is that?
Your Monitor Resolution: (I have 2 really old Dell monitors, but they have VGA inputs not HDMI. Please get a video card that has VGA output or comes with an adapter.
Additional Comments: Good WiFi, I can't use an ethernet cable. Good frames on my games.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I just want a better computer.
