So, I am a textbook example of a noob when it comes to this so I want to say thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
I've always been a console gamer but the kind of games I'm into now (cities skylines, kerbal, and the civilization series for example) don't really exist over there so I am making the jump.
The rig will be primarily for gaming and I also want to mess around with 3D modeling software as a hobby. Here's what I'm looking for:
--definitely want to go Intel and Nvidia.
--be able to run games smoothly at high or max settings for at least a while.
--not looking to overclock right now but would like to have the option for when I get a little more comfortable with how it's done.
--eventually plan to do sli at some point when the money tree blooms again.
--wanting parts with good rep for quality, but doesn't need to be the best of the best if you know what I mean.
--hope to end up with a system that is somewhat future proofed for a little while.
--budget does not include monitor which I plan on being 4k.
This is my first post here so I hope I included all the info needed. And as a side question, can anyone recommend a resource that does a good job at explaining this stuff for beginners? Like, is there a pc building for dummies type of site?
Again, thanks for any help.
