Hi all,
The extent of my knowledge is basically how all the parts go together, and I built my last PC on my own, but I'm otherwise a complete novice and don't really know how to evaluate the actual parts that well. My last PC build went fine other than my 212 hyper master wouldn't fit because of the sabertooth motherboard's thermal armor thing on it at the time, so just used the stock fan...so that gives you an idea of how new I am
Anyway, I'm planning to build another PC, ordering the parts in the next 1-2 weeks tops, so I'm going to paste below the specs for what I'm considering so far.
What I'm looking for:
I probably play Skyrim the most. So I guess one way I'm evaluating this, is could it run Skyrim with everything maxed/ultra and smoothly, for hours without overheating etc?
Budget:
My preferred budget is currently between $900-1000ish. I have accessories and basically need the tower and everything in it. I still have my 212 cooler master too if needed. I prefer Win7 and have it ready but can add an OS to the list if I need to.
Things I'm unfamiliar with:
I've never used a SSD before but I've heard recently that for gaming I should, so some advice there would be appreciated, I didn't add one to the list not sure how to choose yet.
I've never run more than 1 video card, and know very little about doing that, but I'm unsure if it's necessary. would be willing to get 2 or maybe add the 2nd later on.
Finally,Sorry to ramble...
Thanks in advance!
