Approximate Purchase Date:
Next Month ( July, 2015 )
Budget Range:
1,500.00 $ (with wiggle room), not worried about shipping and taxes etc...
System Usage:
Strictly for Gaming
Are you buying a monitor:
Maybe, i already have an HDTV that i can use for a monitor, unless referred otherwise this should do the trick i think
Do you need to buy OS:
Yes i do need to buy an OS as this will be a new build. What does motherboard have to do with the kind of OS i will need to use. It will have to be a Windows based OS as it is a gaming PC. Which version would be the best (the last Windows based OS i used was Microsoft XP Home edition)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
I was told that (www.Newegg.com) was the best place for parts but any website or way of getting them is fine by me.
Location:
Bolton Landing NY,
Parts Preferences:
NVIDIA GPU from what i can tell are the best
Intel based CPU
Overclocking:
Maybe, not sure if its necessary or how to even go about doing it. Also with overlocking i understand that you need to assess cooling with a lot more attention.
SLI or Crossfire:
Maybe, I understand that SLI with NVIDIA based GPU's could be a headache for a novice such as myself causing many unforeseeable issues with getting it up and running. Advice here is greatly appreciated
.
Your Monitor Resolution:
No idea? As of right now i'm hoping to cut this cost out as i have an HDTV 1080p that should do just fine unless there is a difference and getting a dedicated computer monitor will change anything.
Additional Comments:
Computer Chassis doesn't have to be fancy i'm not in this for looks i want PERFORMANCE.
Being a quiet computer is not necessary
I will be running mostly AAA titles such as The Witcher, Grand Theft Auto, Dark Souls, Skyrim (hopefully heavily modded), and would like solid 60 FPS with Ultra settings on everything.
Really not cutting corners with important components (GPU, CPU, MOBO, PSU)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
I am currently seg-waying into PC gaming from Console (Playstation my whole life). Particularly because console versions of games lack the community and customization as well as graphical performance that PC gaming can give. Dropping the $$ now on something that i can use for a good 10 years with minimal upgrades seems like the most cost effective and rewarding way to go about gaming (wish i had thought like this years ago).
Necessary Parts:
GeForce GTX 980 GPU
i5 Intel based CPU (not sure about over-clocking though is it necessary?)
