Hi all,
I'm looking for a general opinion on this build as well as some advice about a specific question.
This would be my first build. As far as its purpose: I have not done any computer gaming and don't have much time to start, while it'd be nice to have something that could handle it if I get to the point where I have the time, it is not at all the focus. I use my computer for web browsing, writing papers and working in excel, organizing and listening to music, and watching videos/ movies. My goal is to have a computer that will remain fast and useable for this purposes for as long as possible.
With the limited amount of knowledge I have, I came upon this build guide and thought it looked good for my purposes based on the quality processor, good amount of ram and a motherboard with lots of room to expand: http://www.techspot.com/guides/buying/page4.html My plan to make this more budget friendly would be to eliminate the SSD and upgrade later. Due to the fact that I don't do any gaming presently and wouldn't require highest FPS if I chose to give it a try, I was wondering if it would be wise to use a cheaper graphics card to save more money (Parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VByd7P ) . Suggestions would be appreciated.
