Hello! I want to gift myself a gaming PC this year. My laptop is doing fine running the older games I'm currently playing. But it doesn't have enough juice to run the newer games.
I mostly just want to play Dragon Age: Inquisition and Sims 4 (at the moment anyway) in addition to my library of older games. My monitor's max resolution is 1920x1080. I already have a mouse, keyboard and OS. Just need a tower.
I'm hoping the community would be able to suggest a parts list since my knowledge on PC components is not up-to-date. I also haven't actually built a PC before. Please help out?
Preferences:
$1000 CAD or (preferably) less
mATX or smaller
at least 250GB SSD (preferably 500GB but I understand this might not be doable)
as reasonably quiet as possible
with wifi capability
with a CD/DVD drive (I have a Windows DVD)
I'm still debating whether I should go ahead and try to build it myself (I can wait for sales) or just shell out $50 and have NCIX build it for me (may not have sales, but I won't have to be afraid of messing anything up)...
Thanks in advance!
