Hey guys, I'm looking to build a PC. I would like to build it with the best bang for buck. I don't need the fastest. I don't need the cheapest. I would like to buy parts at peak performance before there starts to be major diminishing returns on performance per dollar though. I do like to play PC games as well. I'm fine with playing them at 1080 resolution. I don't need a sound card. I would need to buy a copy of Windows as well.
I'm thinking maybe a i5-4690K, GTX 960(it was the 970 before the ram scandal).
If those 2 would be a good starting point, I just don't know anything about boxes, PSU, SSD, HHD, bluray/dvd burners, PC boxes, RAM motherboards, etc to make a decision. There are so many darn choices!
I can afford a high end pc with all the baddest stuff, but I would feel irresponsible if I blew a larger wad than what was needed to have a relevant pc for the next 5 years. I'm hoping to spend less than $1200(less if possible). There are builds out there for $1200, but like I said, I would like to get the best dollar per performance. I literally just surf facebook, check email, and play video games on a pc. I just want something that will boot windows up fast. Single monitor, maybe with the potential to upgrade to 2 down the road. I would like to be able to play all the latest games right now and at least 2 years in the future on ultra graphics on 1080p with a good 50-60 fps. I mostly play rpg games offline, and mmorpg online.
Please help. Can somebody post a build?
