Hello to the Tom's Hardware community!
I just need some help. I've been wanting to build my own rig for quite sometime but I've been scared too. I finally came up with a set of balls recently and I want to build my very first one.
(I apologize if I placed this thread under the wrong category, Im new :c )
Since it's nearing the Holiday season, should it be best to wait for deals/newcpus to come out or should I start right away?
Here are some of the thing I plan to do with this rig, hopefully:
Casual gaming (moba/steam/sims) (at least play CS on max settings)
Online streaming
Watching a thousand of movies(netflix/hulu)
The normal browsing/office tasks ( I thought I shouldn't mention it, but meh)
Budget 400-500 (I want to keep it below 500 - since this is my first)
I plan to have this with me for a 1 - 2 years before upgrading
I've read a lot recently but I want to hear what you guys would do?
I have no preference between Intel/AMD. Either one is good.
Thank you! : D
