Looking to build a pc to last me 4/5 years.
Already own a 290x powercolor 1.3 GPU so am Building around that. Included in Partpicker to help Guage PSU reqs
AMD parts not essential but am trying to save money where I can, and am very happy to hear suggestions.
Single monitor (included in build), with potential 2nd monitor to be added in future. Really hoping to but parts that compliment eachothers potential. My last build had sub-par ram for the mobo/gpu and excessive PSU.
Really struggling with MOBO, CPU, PSU and Cooling.
Notes:
Already have a corsair gs600 if that is succifient?
potential small overclock in future on gpu/cpu
4 Core hyperthreading or multi core prefered.
Primarily used for gaming, multi monitor use, Streaming/Watching movies.
high cores and GPU are to help keep me in min specs in future. I'm well aware my current use doesnt take advantage of some parts but in 5 years when 4 gig gpu RAM or hyperthread/4+ cores becomes a requirement I can still play on med settings.
