i posted awhile ago i was building a pc in september,things didn't work out as planned but here i am a month late,better late then never.
I'm currently running a dinosaur,q9400 r7250 4gb ddr2 and two 320gb hdds with a 1360x768 monitor.Its been alright to me besides some psu issues(its a codegen :/ ) HOWEVER the only modern game i can run is gtav.
So anyways i know a lot of guys like to do this and seeing how far behind i am you can imagine how confused i am about which socket/cpu is best for me so i'll let someone else pick for me!
here are my parameters:
-i'd like a 600,700,800,900$ builds
-a new monitor would be great but isn't required as i can always buy a second hand 1080p later on locally(lots around)
-keyboard/mouse not needed
-no need for an ssd,all my games are on steam so id rather space over speed
-os is optional,and if you do include it use windows 7 please,i hate win8/10 currently and have no interest in it
-overclocking is not required,i have limited experience with it and don't want to risk breaking my brand new pc after being stuck in 2008 for so long
-everything else is free range EXCEPT i don't really want an amd build unless theres proof it will hold up over the next few years.
-1080p gaming with decent settings is the goal here,nothing else straight gaming pc so even xeon's are an option if you see fit!!
Have fun and thanks in advance!
