Hello, there, I recently decided to give building a PC a go, and was wondering what would be a good build. I'm not into overclocking or anything like that, and as of now, I don't think I want to get into that, since I hear it can damage your equipment, and it just seems too technical for me to worry about at the moment.I just want to get something that I won't have to worry about upgrading for at least the rest of the console cycle(3-6 years? Depending of course on how knowledgeable I become on this stuff later on. I'm not a super hardcore gamer).
As far as any other preferences I have, it seems that the GTX 970 seems to be a pretty good card, unless anyone can make a case for any other ones.I don't care for 4K(at least not until it becomes standard). I just want to run things at 1080p or so with no problems
For memory, I feel that maybe 1tb is overkill. I'm considering either a combination of a smaller HDD and SSD, or just a bigger SSD by itself.
I know quiet PC's don't tend to go together with gaming, but it would be nice to at least have it be quiet when I'm not gaming, and it would be helpful if I decide to eventually do some light home recording later on.
Lastly, I will definitely need an OS factored into the price, and possibly a monitor, depending if I'm giving up an important component(s) or not. I don't care about fancy LED cases or anything like that.
Sorry if this post was long, I just wanted to be specific, since that tends to be encouraged. I did some looking around on various sites before, but I don't know what components need prioritization and which ones don't. Here are some builds that i was looking at earlier, which I was already thinking of tweaking(but then again, I know nothing of what''s compatible and what is not). http://elitegamingcomputers.com/top-gaming-computers/#20
Thanks in advance
