Hey guys. Long story short, over the next to years I'm going to be traveling around the country doing travel nursing, and would like a PC that I can take with me.
My initial plan was to purchase the Asus rog g750jm, as it pretty much touches on every need I have, except for the screen size I'm used to(26 inch) and the price..1300. A few computer savvy friends told me I should look into building as I could get much more bang for my buck. So, here I am.
What I'm looking for out of my PC build:
Starting off I'd like to be able to run World of Warcraft, post WoD expansion nearly seemless. I'd like a 120gb SSD HD along with a 1TB regular HD. I'd prefer a blu ray player, but it's not absolutely necessary. In the future, the ability to run dual monitors and stream if I want to would be neat, but not a necessity. I do however would like to be able to Skype clearly, so I can talk with my daughter when I'm out on assignment. It will need to be wireless in terms of internet, as most places won't have the option to hard wire that I stay. I would like to stay with Intel, and have been informed that a quality i5 will do the trick. The case isn't too important, I can pretty much figure that one out on my own.
What I'm looking for out of this post is brands, sizes, stuff that a person who's never built would not be privy to. Video card references, anything that you think may be of help. Even a hypothetical Amazon.com or Newegg build that you think would work. My budget is around 1300(price of the laptop), however, I'd like to stay under 1000(if possible). Thank you in advance for your help.
