Hello there! My name is RemedySteve.
After lurking around on different websites looking for advice, it seems that this site has the best community when it comes to all things PC. As you can see from the title, I am new to the PC gaming and even after looking at so many videos and websites, I still can't figure out a build within my budget. So, without further adieu, here is the information:
Approximate Purchase Date: Next week.
Budget Range: $700-$750
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching videos (Netflix, Hulu, Crunchryoll) and Photoshop.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (Preferably a monitor that does 1920x1080p)
Parts to Upgrade: Everthing
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Preferably windows 8.1 x64bit) I know it's not the best windows version, but from what I read, Microsoft will be giving Windows 10 as a free upgrade for windows 8 users,
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None preferred
Parts Preferences: I would like to have an Intel Processor, but i'm willing to change my mind if there is a better option.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: I would like to at least have a 1920x1080p monitor.
Additional Comments: There are a few things I don't really need and hopefully that'll help to work within the budget.
-----------------------Don't need: Keyboard, Mouse, Wifi Adapter.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am purchasing a PC mainly because it really has more benefits than a console does. I can also use it for more than just gaming and watching videos. I've been using my current PC (which is 9-10 years old, still running windows XP) and I feel like now it's time for something new.
