Hi everyone. I am looking to build a new computer but wanted to get some opinions since I do not know which parts to get. I have always cared more about performance than graphics. I will take a higher fps with lower graphics quality any day. I would like to have a decent processor and MB that I can build around with upgrades in the future. I would even buy a higher quality used processor and MB if you think it is safe. I have used the template from the sticky.
Approximate Purchase Date: Today!
Budget Range: $600-$700
System Usage from Most to Least Important: I want to play some Dark Souls 3. I have almost 100 games in my steam account. I hate waiting for things to load. I would love to be able to wake up my PC from sleep and have a browser open and ready within 10 seconds. I dont know what parts are the most important for this but im guessing its the processor.
Are you buying a monitor: This is not included in my budget price. I have a 21 inch Acer that is 3 or 4 years old. Will this affect performance? If so, I will buy a new one.
Do you need to buy OS: I have a copy of windows 7. Will this work with a new build? If not, I will buy a new windows 7 unless 10 is worth it.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Familiar with Newegg and Amazon. Open to suggestions.
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Never done it before. Willing to try if its easy.
SLI or Crossfire: I have no idea.
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x10805ms
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I want to play my computer games! I will build my computer but I just dont know which parts to get. I dont know whats compatible with what and what parts works best with others so im asking the experts.
