Hello all,
I've only posted on Tom's once, and it was to solve an issue I had with my pre-built PC. You guys were awesome! So I am coming back for a second round and would like to ask a favor - if you will.
My girlfriend Allyson has been gaming with me on a pretty old gaming PC, its been running for 9 years, now it's starting to get goofy with random power-offs and glitches in games. The games she's recently been into have been: Final Fantasy XIV, World of Warcraft, The Sims series, the Bioshock series, Borderlands 1-2, etc. We are looking to build her a new rig with impending tax return money and we'd like to build this one together.
The request is: Can anyone out there help us start at square one. Ideas, tips, tricks - anything that would help two first time builders. As well, if anyone was up to it - post some builds of your own. We'd like to spend less than $650 so that is where the challenge lies. I'd be willing to go higher if it was compounded with a significant upgrade.
That's it! I look forward to talking with some of you and discussing ideas. I hope this forum is open to these kind of requests. Thanks again!
