Hey all,
This will be my first time ever building a pc. For the past 10 years I always bought pre-built computers. Been reading about building your own rig for the past few months and now want to jump in. Anyways here is what I really want from my system:
Playing games in the highest settings possible (ultra). I really don't want to upgrade at least for one year so definitely want to play games in high settings for at least a year before I have to upgrade. I also plan on playing not higher then 1920 x 1080. I will not be doing any Photoshop or any other editing whatsoever. This is strictly gaming computer. But I really don't want to overdo with the funds. Gaming pcs can cost over 2000 CAD and I really want to keep it minimum. My max budget is 1000 CAD but I don't mind going over 200 to 300 more but I just don't want my rig to cost 1500 as I am a student still haha. I have noctual nhd14 cpu cooler already. I also have 800W corsair psu and 250 gb ssd. I need everything else. I just want to get at least 60 fps in pretty much any game I decide to play coming out this year. I don't have any favorites but I do like MMOs, rts, fps. I do have some cpus in mind such as G3258, any i3, any i5 but all the k ones would go in the more expensive range and I really don't need to overclock as I don't and don't plan on doing anytime atleast for the next year or so. I also like fx 6300 but I have heard amd cpu are "not efficient enough". I'm hoping to find the best configuration possible in the range of 1000 CAD! Oh and since I am a Canadian resident I can buy stuff from tigerdirect, newegg, ncix,best buy, and memory express. Thanks y'all
