Hi all,
A few years back I made my first gaming rig (about 4-5 years ago) and I'm now toying with the idea of making a new build. My old build was with a first gen i7 930/ATI Radeon HD 5800 series, so I think it's time for a new system. I'm needing some ideas for a new build. Please see below:
Approximate Purchase Date:
Withing the next month or so
Budget Range:
1000-1200 all together
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Mostly Gaming, Internet, Daily Use, etc.
Are you buying a monitor:
No, I have two already.
Parts to Upgrade:
No plans to reuse any old parts from my old PC.
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes, Not sure if I should go Win7 or Win8.1
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Would prefer newegg for all parts
Location:
New Jersey
Parts Preferences:
Intel/Nvidia. I also love my Asus MoBo on my current build, would love to stick with Asus in my new build but it's not a deal breaker if I go to another brand.
Overclocking:
Not sure, most likely not at first, but would love to have the option open.
SLI or Crossfire:
Maybe, depends on the budget
Your Monitor Resolution:
My primary monitor runs 1920x1080, My secondary 1600x900.
Additional Comments:
I prefer Full towers, but Mid-Towers would also work if necessary. Window would be preferable in the case. Would prefer Modular PSU.
Thank you for the help!
