I'm looking to replace an old gaming PC I also use for general stuff. I already have a 4K monitor and keyboard etc., I just need to replace the tower because everything is degrading and is unreliable. I'm looking to spend around $1500, but if it is a significant upgrade I could spend more. I know new videocards are coming out but I don't really know anything about them, so if waiting an extra month makes sense I am up for it. If it is cost-effective I would want to put stuff on SSD's, as normal hard drives keep crapping out on me. However, my game library takes up like 400GB so it might not be feasible.
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Approximate Purchase Date: Some time in the next month
Budget Range: ~$1500 after shipping to Seattle (could be more)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching Netflix, downloading and watching shows on an external drive
Are you buying a monitor: No, I have a 4K monitor already
Parts to Upgrade: I could salvage from an old computer for some stuff if I need to
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None
Location: Kirkland, WA 98033
Parts Preferences: None, really. I would prefer a case where I can check components easily, preferably a case with handles for transport.
Overclocking: No, I'm not very confident in BIOS stuff.
SLI or Crossfire: No, the last two computers I had were SLI and I had terrible luck with it.
Your Monitor Resolution: 4096x2160
Additional Comments: I'd like a case I can transport easily that looks good next to a TV (if I put it there) and doesn't run super hot. I'd also like it to be moderately easy to get into, as my last case was weird and when something went wrong I couldn't get in there without taking stuff out.
Why Are You Upgrading: The components in my current computer seem to be degrading, things keep breaking. I also want something that can play games at 4K and generally work more reliably.
