Hey all,
I have been thinking about this for a while since I wanted to get started to be more serious about PC gaming and I did some research on whether I should buy a pre-built gaming PC from Best Buy but I heard that it would be cheaper if I build my own so yeah, I want to build a Micro-ATX build for gaming instead of an Full ATX though. I also found case that maybe would be good? Leave some comments on it please, anyways here is the format for asking for a build.
Approximate Purchase Date:
December 2014 - January 2015
Budget Range:
$1000 Max, everything included.
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming, streaming, photo/video editing, school work
Are you buying a monitor:
No I am not, I have a small TV that I can use for now.
Parts to Upgrade:
None, starting from scratch.
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes, cannot pick between Windows 7 - Windows 8.1 Though, whatever is best (future proof too?)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Does not matter, cheaper websites?
Location:
Escondido, CA, USA
Parts Preferences:
I always liked Intel CPU's so Intel (if AMD is better then I guess AMD, just want the best I can get with my budget)
Overclocking:
Maybe, not now, in the future.
SLI or Crossfire:
Maybe, not anytime soon, not even next year though.
Your Monitor Resolution:
1920x1080 Samsung LN19A451C1D
Additional Comments:
I would like it to run BF4, DayZ, and League of Legends at Ultra/high Settings with no problem.
Also, maybe a cheap SSD for booting up faster? If my budget is not enough then it is fine.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
I want to get more into PC gaming since my friends are getting into it and leaving consoles.
Thanks for all the feedback, I have to go soon so I might not reply quickly.
UPDATE: Forgot to link the case I was talking about here it is:
Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX and Mini-ITX PC Case - Black (CC-9011070-WW)
